an earlier concept that has really low rez pictures
Image Image Image


OK NOW FOR EVERYTHING TO BE ACCURATE AND MOVE ALONG AT A QUICK PACE EVERYONE NEEDS TO UPLOAD A REALLY HIGH QUALITY VERSION (IE: MP3 @ 320kbps) OF THERE NEWEST VERSION OF THERE COVER TO THE FTP OR DRAVEN'S EMAIL (so i can list it correctly on the back and find out witch songs i need lyrics for if i decide to do so) IF YOU DONT DO SO SOON THEN ALL YOUR WORK WILL GO TO WAIST AND YOU WILL NOT BE INCLUDED ON THE CD!!!!!!!!

ps whats it going to be under? CP?

any other comments or "constructive criticism" will help

actually, when i saw the scans, i really like it. good job.


and it's going to be under the collected vision and effort of the artists on the record. no label really. unless of course we count randy and Optic.

That looks like you reworked some existing photos and art. That's fine if it's just for us, but don't you need permission to use them if we're talking about a retail release?

no, i realize that, but if you see one you like, some people may be more, "agreeable" than others to send you a high res version. that's all.

dave, i think you mentioned that before, and i was kind of skeptical, but, now that i see it again, i kind of like it. the only thing i can think is that it's like 73 words long.

well can splice to non copyrighted images together to make something cool like this:
http://www.divecustom.com/christ%20of%20abyss.jpg

http://www.piratesatlanta.com/Jamie_and ... covery.jpg

and it ends up like this

but they hardly ever look as good.... (look at his arms and head they dont match the background

the packaged deal with the book will be an online order only (as I've discussed with randy) so I dont think that will be a problem.
