I'm still not sure what the preferred layout is. Here's the CD label and full res pattern for a printable sleeve (both with 3mm bleeds) but I don't know whether scales for a jewel case are required as well. I've PM'd Liontamer to see whether he has any specs but no reply as yet. I guess he's off taming lions . Also I still need an upload link. If anyone can help me out with that I'll buy you a pack of gummy bears (I won't buy you a pack of gummy bears) Cheers!

K. The artwork should be wrapped up with a lovely ribbon. Where should I upload the zip?

cool. I was curious about those things you mentioned. I just copypasted the OP

Sooooo... This is what I have for the back cover: The CD label will looks similar, except rotational and without the tracklist EDIT: Subject to change of course

Is any artwork/ Graphics required for the site? EDIT: Also @Brandon, what's your track title?

Just putting my bit in here, would you be interested in using my services as an artist? I'm currently wrapping up the artwork for the Satoru Iwata tribute album, and though I don't want to corner the market as it were, I'd be more than interested in helping out visually with Skies. How could I not, with such an iconic game? You can take a look at some of my artwork on my online portfolio (though bear in mind, a lot of the site is still under construction): http://​www.davyowen.com/illustration Cheers Odai

I'm wrapping things up today and tomorrow. A lot of different suggestions for the subheading have been given here in the thread. I'm putting the final decision to you as the director Damned: Remembering Satoru Iwata A Satoru Iwata Tribute Album A Tribute to Satoru Iwata I guess there's no wrong answer, but once it's baked it's baked. Cheers!

Thanks Mindwanderer. Posts like that are fantastic, not nitpicky at all. Being on the frontline of arting tends to make one switch off to certain faults. Critiques like yours are what's needed. I see what you're saying precisely. Much obliged!

All points well made and taken on board, peeps. cheers!

I'm a visual artist, not a remixer. But I'd be all over this. Awesome game is awesome.

OK I'm nearing completion on the front cover now. I've been staring at this constantly for the past two days, and I've lost my glasses to boot. Couple of fine details and I think I'm calling it done. Unless you guys say otherwise

thanks Anorax, I didn't realise you printed hard copies of the albums

do I need to do a back cover? I didn't realise, but that's my bad for not asking at the start.

BACK COVER??

I'm of the same opinion. I put in there because somebody in the thread said to. I'm thinking of taking it out, it's not necessary to the design, methinks

*WIP*WIP*WIP* Very Messy Progress shot

fear not dude, it's a basic flat-colour WIP.

'twas initially a suggestion from the Damned, I believe, to be a glare from the TV set. suits me fine because Iwata's eyes have turned out to be all kinds of difficult to draw lol

*WIP*WIP*WIP* OK so it's been a while. Here's a recent work in progress. In this image, the tones and values are way off, the linework needs cleaning up and the shadows and colour blending are non-existent. But you guys need to see an *idea* of where this album cover is going. I've moved a fair amount further since here, but I'll save showing the next step until it's completed.

Assumed as much, so I went ahead and signed it anyway cheers for the response though

Is my signature required, for the artwork?

Thanks Pokerus. It's progressed well from here but there's a bit of a way to go yet I can definitely get it done by then, with time for amendments too.

Hah shucks. Thanks Pretzel

cool cool. Is there a deadline for the artwork? always a good thing to know. Is it the same as the completed WAVs?

fair shout
