[_Transparent_]

whats your fav Travis Smith Picture?

i love his cover work for BWP by opeth

 

[spawn]

Ok, I couldnt narrow it down to one.....

Spirits in the mist from the Dragonlord cd

Centerpiece for Demons and Wizards

12 the unused one from Blackwater Park

The Birth from the Dragonlord cd

Dead heart in a dead world cover and all interior stuff

The new Abigail 2 cover from King Diamonds record

Towers of avarice off the zero hour cd

Lastly, but certainly not leastly....all the Iced Earth stuff. Of course


And what is it with you lot and the Blackwater park cover?

 

[Diamond Dave]

For me it's a couple from Terria, the one with the moth on the tree and the face and the leaves. The other ones I really remember are for Skinlab's Disembody sleeve, bought it at a gig, jaw dropped, asked Steev about it, he said "it's fucking great, that's all I know"

For me the Opeth discarded artworks, bot SL and BWP. Amazing!

I also like the dragonlord one tho, and there was an illustration on the site which I remember from a while ago, I reallyliked, but don't think it was for anything

 

[FatherVic]

for me also, the OPETH stuff is amazing!!!

not quite sure, thats probably why i love it. , it reminds me of sleepy Hollow (and i was drooling whilst looking at the background of the film, and the BWP stuff just compliments it is suppose. i just love the atmosphere it creates.

I think you should try to do covers for Earthtone9 - your style would fit their music perfectly IMO. \m/

 

[nogs00]

the Katatonia concept for Tonights Decision.
it blows me away til this day. the
best i've ever fukken seen

 

[requiem]

I vote Tonight's Decision.

The entire booklet is one ghostly representation of the album.

Truly amazing stuff.

 

[Seems like Trav]

it would be biased for me to answer this,
so i'll just say one of my favorite covers is
the dark tranqullity haven cover by niklas sundin.

 

[Seems like Trav]

ah yes. a darkness coming.
That one worked out quite well.

it's the ghost of a train where you can only see the headlight.

That is easily my favorite layout and cover design. even beats out the emperor stuff, and that's hard in my book...

isn't travis a lovely guy??
So is he the MAN or is he the MAN
yeap....niklas did a great artwork on that haven cover, I tried to achieve that "perfection" (knowing that perfection doesn't really exist in art ) on a winamp skin I did some time ago...
mmmnnhhh may be one day I come and do something for seempieces....

 

[requiem]

He's definitely the man alright.

The ghostly images of Tonight's Decision is probably the perfect atmosphere for that album.

I lent it to a friend and he lost the cover and case etc.!! He's ordering it in again for me, but rest assured I wasn't impressed!

 

[Russell]

Actually, I think he's a bit of a......

 

[DracWell]

My fav. has to be dead heart, in a dead world. that's TRUE art dammit... I love the little gasmask on the backcover =) and the Still Life cover is wonderful. such a sad atmosphere.

yeah Tonight's Decision is good, i always loved the back pic with the woman on the chair with the noose round her neck, not for the obvious reasons but because the patchy scratches on it that look like water, awhile after i realised it was just scrathes like on old movies and photos, i prefer to see it as water though

 

[Seems like Trav]

I think its dirt but i forget

 

[Sadistik]

man and raven from Tonight's decision. That is just a gorgeous picture

 

[FatherVic]

It's strange, I had always thought it was an owl, but hey I'm not a bird watcher...dough!
