DarkeSword Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Keep 'em coming guys. Oh, and concerning the "disc" issue. This is a digital release, so there's no disc 1 and disc 2. The songs aren't really arranged in any particular order except mine being first and zircon and pixietricks' being last. There's no specific song where one disc stops and the other one starts. That being said, I don't really need "rear" cover art. Submit it if you want, but if you just want to send something for the front, that's fine too.

SoulinEther Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well, I contacted dish, and he's going to get me the finished lineart / sketch / shaded / whatever-he-defines-as-completed drawing at somepoint. It should look a little more clean... I've added in the "Super Metroid" but there is a notable lack of tildes in the font I am using. Is it absolutely necessary to include it in the title? I can always just take it from another font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_NutS Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 well obviously (and sadly) I couldn't finish my song in time. For those intersted this is a demo I roughly put up together, note that some of the sounds were placeholders: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So...like...is it done and stuff? I know it's a charitable cause, but I'd like to see the collective project sometime =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Once I get all the album art subs, I'm going to send it to bLiNd and Jade first. After they listen to it and enjoy it and all that, we'll start setting up a release for the unwashed masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well, uploading these finished ones. I probably could do more with it (well, actual skill and taste in art would help in improving this), but being on PST, I don't know when is best. Will update this post when they are done uploading with links and stuff, then will pm DS. Ok... so here we go.

big giant circles Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I realize this is not my call to make, and ulitmately, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it one way or the other, but the text just comes off as cheesy to me. The album has already been specifically created for Jordan under the circumstances of his health situation, so I personally prefer the subtle implication that Samus's outstretched hand has without need for any wording. I feel like the text is just redundant. Well, uploading these finished ones.

SoulinEther Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That's not what I was told Onoez, my not-that-great cover will be replaced! *contemplates sabotage techniques* (though of course, I think anything better that is submitted should be used) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Lemmie give it a crack later tonight. For in the end, this CD is all about my oneupsmanship, and showing solidarity through my massive man-ego. ...God bless you Wingless and your speedy recovery. ::salute:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dish Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 If anyone is interested to use my sketch for the cover, just drop me an email and I'll send you the 300 dpi version In case you wonder why I don't post the cleaned-up sketch here... well, my brain had a such glitches from time to time (I will still work on it after this album is out because I want to color it. I will post it when I'm done.) [edit] Another glitch on my side. My email is dennyisk at gmail dot com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyHunter Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 SoulinEther, could I have a PSD (or other layered image format) of your cover? I feel I could do a lot with the different pieces you've got. The reason I've been holding off helping is that, well, since bLiNd probably doesn't know I exist, I didn't feel I was the right person to be making the album cover. Although, I've always been a fan of his music! I'm certain I'm not alone in that I've listened to all of his ReMixes in one sitting (twice!) =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain I'm not alone in that I've listened to all of his ReMixes in one sitting (twice!) =D Sure.. let me get it.I'll just export the xcf to PSD in the gimp, hopefully it should come out correct. If not... i think i can do pdf. K, uploading it. It's 15 megs (zipped; GIMP doesn't seem to export too nicely), lacks text info, and some of the layer modes didn't export quite right, but i'm sure you can figure it out no problem. ... and i wonder if it has path info. (no, it doesn't :/, and i used some paths for the text and stuff so.. .yeah) I'm sure you can do something better with it, in any case. I'm not exactly known for my sound artistic abilities. And I don't think bLiNd knows I exist either... (passing time while this thing uploads. 5 mins left). K. Uploaded. Check your PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendlyHunter Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks to a sudden rush of the opposite of procrastination, I whipped up a little something: The drawing looks phenomenal at high res, so I zoomed in on it quite a bit (losing precious pixels/inch in the process). This pic is 66% of the original size... IMO it doesn't quite do the full-size one justice. Welcoming suggestions and criticisms! 'night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
