hey Lee_B, it´s Mr Car Park here....

If there is something that should stay it´s the human Oddities book :) what ever you do...dont throw that away!!!
nor the sean connery mask haha you still got them? :)
 
Hello Mr Carpark :heh:

I'll have to try and find a copy of that book for you. The images must have scarred you for life if you still remember even now :)

The Sean Connery mask was lost on an epic drinking session. I'll just take a photo of my Dad instead!

Are you remaining incognito on this forum?

Aww come on, stop lurking and get the show on. :D
I think this forum needs some refreshment. It used to be enthralling to start my day at work by launching the browser and reading tens of new, long posts on the Opeth forum while sipping coffee. Nowadays it's, ah, so quiet. Oh well, could be the holiday season.. ANYWAYS! (hi Hoser :p) Get it on!

Drunken conversations on BBS's can be quite interesting too. And mortifying. :heh: (Been there - done that).

CHEERS!

Yes, my words exactly!
Cheers! Kippis! Skål! Kampai! Prost!

Beer - good! (and, unlike Hearse, I don't have ashes in by pint, which was nice)
 
Lee_B,
yea..those pics scared me off...I will never forget those balls man!! :) he could have a complete drum kit in there!! :p

if I´m incognito??...hmm..I dont really follow you there... :loco:
 
I'm with Orchid on this one. (Largely because he prompted me, but that's okay)

Redblueyes thinks we can't take his babbling... Hah! I'll have you know, sir, that I've been spewing needless and incoherent babble since you were in diapers! Actually, probably not, because you're more than likely older than me, and either way, I would most certainly have been much younger then and didn't get good at rambling until adulthood... (my reaching of which is arguable).

Incidentally, the notion of keeping a drum kit in one's balls is one of the greatest examples of hyperbole I've heard in a long time.
...it is hyperbole, right?

And, I stand by my stance that cigarette ash-less beer is far perferable to the alternative. Unless, of course, you're a severe nicotine addict, but even then...
 
Come onnnnn man! Furr kills! :) I got a thick stache and beard... and I'd never go back to my furlless days. Long hair? too much of hassle to comb man.. laziness rules this deformophile... plus I look like a fucking beast so I like it. So yeah.... mik should keep it.. not that it contributes towards intellectual matter.... or maybe it does! :p

And what da fuck? LOL! ash flovoured beer? shit Hearse I thought I was bad ripping bongs with cheap disgusting port instead of water while tripping off my guts. Now thats a MAJOR nicotine addict... he heheh..

Hey Hoser! Hows doin? Nearly finished my logo for Autumn Rust... I just gotta scan it and add some finishing touches... can't wait to show ya man... The notion of my dream materialising in even the smallest of ways is so fucking exciting. And hey man how did ya get those insanely smooth edges on Thales's logo? did ya draw it first and then do it purely thru the pc again? just curious.. cause if I'm gonna scan mine (which is done in pencil) its gonna be ragged... know what i mean? gotta try get that professional look happenin.

Ok crew..... see ya later.... back to work...
 
Autumn Rust! Dude!

You sound really happy, man, are you ripped right now or what? Heh.

Actually, the truth is I can't draw worth shit (sorry to shatter the illusion of my artistic brilliance). I designed that logo entirely on the computer in photoshop, starting with a font, then tweaking and airbrushing, working it with overlapping layers, etc. etc. etc. (most people tend to do logos in vector graphics, but WTF, I like it that way) HOWEVER! What you may not know is that that logo is old business. Too many people thought it was too similar to Opeth's logo and I finally went "FINE, GODDAMMIT!", discussed it with Orchid, got some input, and made a new one. It's up at www.mp3.com/thales. Let me know what you think. Better? Worse? It's definately cleaner, bolder, and goes for the "moon" theme (for those of you who know the origins of the name) quite directly. Criticism is welcome...

Incidentally, the best way to do it if you're gonna scan it is probably to take the scan into a vector-based graphics program (if you have any experience with Illustrator or Freehand or something along those lines) and use the trace tool to trace a vector graphic on top. Remove the scanned image, and tweak the vectors 'till perfect. Then you get a graphic you can reproduce sharply and professionally at any size (no worry about pixelization). However, you have to know what you're doing with vector graphics, which I have some experience with, but found a pain in the ass. And, the nice thing with raster (pixel) graphics is that you can get textures and bevels and embosses, shadows and hilights and stuff (like the new Thales logo)... but you can do that by rasterizing the vector image you made first and bring that back into Photoshop... (do you know anything about computer graphics or do you have no clue what I'm talking about?)

Point is: I can give you a hand with the computer end of things if you need it, let me know.

Incidentally, I have a cheesy, thin, "I'm barely old enough to grow facial hair" black peach fuzz goatee and I'm sticking with it, dammit! (At least for a little while.) There's actually no hair along the sides of my mouth so the moustache doesn't connect with the beard, instead I have three seperate bunches of hair (upper lip fuzz, chin fuzz, and that little tuft of under the bottom lip fuzz)

Take it easy!
 
LOL! Yeah man I am happy... my souls at peace these days..... especially with the lunar eclipse in cancer..... that means lots of energy for me to feedh off. GRRRR..
and nah.... don't do drugs these days... or drink. just high off the monitors nuclear emanations. (fuck thats makes me feel scattered as a nuns cunt)

now... I tried to understand what you're talking about.... I kinda do.. but I'm not too familiar with the technical terms so you lost me there a bit. Thanx for trying though man... and thanx very much for that offer dude. For sure.. so hey.. if I drew a copy with black ink and as perfect as I could and scanned it and sent it to you, you would be able to do that? Thats would be VERY cool if you could do that.

As for the Thales logo... the old one did look better... but this one is cool too (and you are right it did look too opethian though thats T was pretty original in ways... maybe if you added an industrial feel to it, it would be more 'moonish' and be more far from the O in opeth). Hey I can send you some industrial inspiration... I have the 'epitome' of industrial feel in this picture.. it may help. Though you just gotta have it anyway cause it fucking kicks ass. Tell me if you want me to send it to you.
Anyway I think its got that kind of 'cryptal' feel about it.. cause the lettering style is remeniscent of tomb stones to me.
Comin up with logos is hard bizness aint it?! :) its fuckin taken me ages to come up with something that feels right and is in tune with what I want to make <musically>. And what about Opeth too. They went thru 3 different logos till they found perfection. (their first two where pretty pathetic)

You should see the style though... I can't believe I came up with it. A total fluke I reckon, but hey.. I may have pulled it outta my ass but I don't care where it comes from as long as its here! lol.

as for beards etc... I'm 22 and am old enuff to grow a beard thats bloody thick.. so doesn't matter age sometimes (helps if you're italian though). You're what? 21 or 22?
And yeah man! LOL! those side bits pissed me off at first too. One side grew and one didn't so it was fucking bizarre not to mention looked like something out of chernobyl. Now its joined though and my 'bit' under the chin has joined to the chin furr and is beginning to join to those side bits too. FINALLY! :) my scraggy days are over.... and keep at it man you'll get there.. the girls love that bad teenage stache.. lol... bart simpson's coming into my mind for some reason.. he heheh..
 
Actually, I'm not quite 20... will be in 4 months or so, and, yeah, scraggly is a good word. Heh.

Yeah, logos are hard. It's funny, because they're easy, you can make one in 5 minutes, but they're hard to find what actually works best because it's SO important. It's like for every thing there's one ONE logo that's exactly perfect and it's the ONLY one that'll do. Corporations take months and months to design the simplest logos... it's ludicrous.

Yes, send me that shit. Send me everything you'd think I'd like to see, and, if you send me the scan of your logo (scan it REALLY high-res - 300 dpi minimum - make sure it's a large image, this'll really help with the quality) I'll see what I can do with it, both in photoshop and freehand.

Hear from ya soon!
 
Bah, let him keep the damn thing.
He obviously likes it, or maybe he's just too lazy to shave, but I don't think he cares what people that have 1000's of posts (no life) on an Opeth forum care if his Moustache is dumb or not :rolleyes: :eek: :rolleyes:

It's possible he keeps spare guitar picks in there in case he drops it while on stage, or maybe it gives him superhuman strength, we will never know :eek:
 
Daa! Goddammit! What the hell is it with this thread and running into you after long absences?!

Oddly enough, when I ressurected this thread, I was reading it and thought "Gee, it'll seem kinda weird after having this long discussion with Autumn Rust seeing as he hasn't been around forever..." then half an hour after I post it you're here! That's kinda freaking me out...

Anyways, heya dude, what's up?

I no longer have my goatee, they made me shave it off at work. Bastards. As for the graphics stuff, I've been doing other similar things in the meantime, more covers, been out taking more photos, just workin' away (in between being lazy).
 
LOL! Well just basically started observing from the shadows whats been going a few days ago... Checkin out Thale's progression and all that... (which is damn good as usual :) )
Then got this ancient post in the mail just before.. so hey, what the hell why not let my presence be felf! :eek:

Great to hear your doing ok and keeping up with the artistry. Read somewhere you didn't feel the multimedia thing was as much as passion anymore. How come? Everything ok?

Anyway whats up? As usual but with a twist. Am building a studio so I can work my music from these days. Something I've dreamed of unitl recent reality. I have already an ok pc to build it with.. Terratec EWS88D Studio card with s/pdif, DAT, and MIDI outlets (10 i/o! :) ) Thinking though to build a total new pc cause this one has some limitations which wont help the sound quality. I want a Gig of ram at least (RD SDRAM coz it kicks) and RAID to handle the sound without delay. So I'm gonna spend all the cash I have for a proper studio mic which I could buy right now (am getting a Rode NT2) for a new sys. Which is a grand. errg.. saving again.. I hate it. lol But I only got a grand to go so no probs and I'm a fuzzy fucker when it comes to that shit.
I've also renamed my band from the former 'Autumn Rust' (I've called it EDEN). Have a good guitarist too. :) I've done the art for it already.. will be trying to digitize it someway.. scan the fucker and then filter it and try to get perfect smooth edges on it (cause pencil aint really smooth lookin after you've scanned it, lol!).
So thats whats up on that front. Been at school n shit. One year to go till I'm employed.. if I pass.. LOL! fingers crossed.

Oh, I thought this was another thread about Mikael's stache. I see it's just been resurected from the depths of the forum. Good thing too, or I would have missed out on these..
