Had to be different, huh? For consistency, going forward can we use one or the other? I did mine with letters on the X-axis because that's how you read graph/grid coordinates - Horizontal/Vertical... therefore A1. Technically, we are solving the points of 1A, 1B etc... under this

. Minor nit, but for consistency, I say we use the same format. Guess the next person decides!

As for the covers... A couple look familiar, so I'll be back

Yeah, sorry

I did them this way so you can read them from top to bottom, like how we read basically anything. I understand yours was done to represent an xy-axis, but reading something like this from the bottom left corner upwards was very confusing for me..

All answers so far are correct as well, I'll update the initial post!

Train of Naught · « **Reply #3334 on:** February 04, 2018, 06:26:39 AM »

Oh oh also

B5: Myrath - Tales of the Sands
D2: Obsidian Kingdom - Mantiis
D3 looks reaaally familiar but can't put my finger on it

I also prefer the reading order grid

Damn, this is going quickly!

All guesses correct, apart from this one:

B4 looks like a Roger Dean album cover but I don't know what it is???

Elite · « **Reply #3345 on:** February 04, 2018, 10:05:47 AM »

All correct. That leaves just four. I do believe all of these can be guessed, there's no really obscure album. I'll hold out with hints for a while.

Crow · « **Reply #3346 on:** February 04, 2018, 10:49:02 AM »

C2 is Arjen Anthony Lucassen - Lost in the New Real

Yes, it is

Train of Naught · « **Reply #3348 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:51:24 AM »

Aha, so then C4 has to be Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

Elite · « **Reply #3349 on:** February 04, 2018, 12:02:15 PM »

Well, it doesn't have to be that, but yeah, it is.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #3350 on:** February 04, 2018, 02:41:41 PM »

Is B4 a Roger Dean album cover?

Elite · « **Reply #3351 on:** February 04, 2018, 02:49:52 PM »

I don’t know who that is.

Roger Dean

He's the artist famous for doing all those iconic Yes album covers (along with many others). It looks like his style. Might be enough of a hint for someone to guess it?

Elite · « **Reply #3354 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:24:02 PM »

No, it’s not Roger Dean, though it looks similar to his works.

Well, there’s two left to catch..

lonestar · « **Reply #3355 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:30:56 PM »

B4 totally has a Roger Dean look to it. Can't think of an album, but it looks like his work.

It looks a lot like the Drama cover, especially with the mountains in the background.

Also, major

to that cover. It's one of my favourites from him.

It is indeed!! I honestly thought this one wouldn't take so long..

Do we need a hint for the final one (which was not done by Roger Dean)?

Yeah, I didn't notice that that one wasn't solved and it instantly seemed familiar and I'm only a very casual Devin fan.

Hint for the last one would be great.
