Opeth - Ghost Reveries official artwork

[NeverIsForever]

is that Anne tickling Melinda?

I was leaning more toward ritual sacrifice of some kind

The funny thing is, some of these fake covers may very well be better than the real one :Spin:

 

[Mind Numbing Peanuts]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont remember how i did that how i found all the money and ghost any who......... i lost my scarf can you help me find it......plz neverisforever plz help me i lost it at your house when me and that other guy where having hot sweaty sex on your moms bed and you left me a good cold sore on my mouth wow you are good in the anus well i guess ill talk to you later huny buns..............

 

[Brains for breakfast]

Well, altough I agree this must be another fake, it's the best I have yet seen. It actualy fooled me for a second.

Quality stuff...

 

[Du sollst dich töten]

It looks like something from Deviant Art.

 

[Julian Zembrowski]

They're using fan art of the band. But that cover is pretty groovin nontheless.

 

[prowlergrig]

they're not using fan art for the main cover

 

[Wretched Pest]

Actually... I wouldn't really mind if that would have been the real cover. It's pretty cool.

WTF? You're trying to insult me, for reasons I fail to understand...so...you own up to being homosexual? Well, now I understand why it was such a gay post Congratulations...but I'm not a guy.

Hey Rensei, that's kick ass as usual! The colour scheme is fucking fine, reminding me alot of MAYH - which is cool.

I kinda hope the actual cover would have colours along these lines; deep blue/purple with lot's of blacks and using forests/trees of some sorts. Heck, I can TOTALLY see this as an opeth cover.

Excellent job, my firend.

 

[flu boy]

Rensei-Sweet cover!!

 

[MasterOLightning]

I wasn't fooled. The title/logo placement was poor. I liked the one with the towers a little better, but that was so obviously fake.

 

[Seems like Trav]

"I've already spoken with Travis, and he said Opeth had no intention of using him for the new album art."

News to me, that is a pretty bad-ASS picture though.

Well I am not sure until i was able to spend some time with it, which i'm afraid i just can't do for a while. I'm sorry i don't have a better answer than that at this time. i don;t usually create logos. in the past it's just been tailoring something nice to fit a cd cover. With the few exceptions i've done some for labels, and local companes.

It was true that I spoke with you, but I didn't save the email where I asked about the OPeth art, because it had nothing to do with me or my band..

 

[OpethNZ]

indeed, from OPETH.COM ages ago

Opeth have sent out a call for fans to help out with the artwork for the next album. Opeth want to include hand drawn, black-and-white pictures of the band members (as opposed to a photograph) in the next album sleeve. Are you a skilled artist? Send your work to info@opeth.com. Think Rainbow's 'Long Live Rock N' Roll' and you'll get the idea of what they're after!

Ah..ok. I think I remember that mail. Sorry about thew logo thing. Unless I'm working with an existing font or something, custom logos (can) take a long time (when starting from the beginning) for me and a lot of back and forth. I get a few requests, but usually at the time when my deadlines are hectic and can't push any of them aside.

I think I replied that I wasn't (at the time) sure about (what was going to happen regarding the outcome of the art for) Opeth, as I didn't want to speak for anyone.

 

[Luz]

Mmmm... I didn't like it. When I first saw it, it didn't have the 'Opeth feel' if someone knows what I mean.

 

[Spawnof84]

I liked the cover, i just didnt like the Opeth between Ghost Reveries, if you put the Opeth logo on the right hand bottom, then maybe you have a chance in the running.

 

[Spawnof84]

is she holding up a baby? what is that??
