It looks really cool, but I`m artistically challenged, so my opinion isn`t worth shit. What is it for?
 
cool guys, thanks a lot.
its for a upcoming solo album for a friend of mine. Chaz Bond
He is the singer for the band BioGenesis but he is doing a solo album that from what of it i've heard is going to be awesome. it's got an older classic metal/thrash feel but with tons of emotion and dark/goth-esque influences.

if you check out their songs on mp3.com keep in mind that the producer butchered the mix and took out a bunch of solos without telling the band. they werent very happy about it. but its said and done now. but their new album will be out this year soon. and its gonna rock also.

any other comments good or bad?
 
sure, what kind of music and what did you have in mind? do you have any samples up anywhere?

Hey thnx! The music is a mix of Opeth and My Dying Bride I guess. With some thrash and heavy metal in there :D I have no samples up because my modem is so slow, but I could mail you the lyrics or something.
 
AWESOME, THanks a ton everyone

good pic, checked your website at rexorcist.com and was impressed too, infact soul parasite 1 is my desktop background now

THANKS!!! Soul Parasites 1 is my favorite one so far. it makes a KILLER desktop too. that was supposed to be the cover for BioGenesis' new album but they changed some ideas and the title to the cd around last minute and have what it is now. But i loved the Soul Parasites one so much that i had to put it up. Maybe i can talk Opeth into making it the next cover LOL

yeah man do that, sounds interesting.
 
I look at the upper left corner face and then follow what appears to be a leaf and its stem to the lower right hand corner to greet yet another leaf.

From there I follow the other stem to the center and then to the upper right hand corner where it appears to be some sort of pair of hands, one of these hands is showering a black substance down through the painting's bottom center and out.

Enjoyed!
 
Reminds me of Travis' cover of Beseech's Black Emotions, which is one of my favorites. Nice work.
 
Rex, I've sent you a mail regarding the commission. I didn't realize you charged for it, so I didn't mention that in the mail. How much do you want?
 
you have mail

a while back i didnt used to charge, but the company i was with went under and my new job barely pays the bills. in fact it doesnt pay the bills, if it wasnt for my wife's check we'd be dead broke right now. so to sum it up, i HAVE to charge something, I wish i could do it purely as a hobby, but fact is, i cant at the point in my career. but dont worry, i'm not gonna cost an arm and a leg ya know.
 
That's pretty cool Rex. Where'd you get the original photos? It's a close up of leaves with one burning? Is that right? Or is that sun shinning through? It's a good background for a cover. What’s the band title look live over it?
