Very nice. I thought it was very interesting the first time I looked at it. I was expecting a lot of bright stuff, as GG always sounds very colorful to me, but you used a darker color scheme. Not that it's a bad thing at all, I applaud your creativity.

I hear ya! you know something I don't even know myself how the collages are going to look when I done.

the background was lighter. the trees on the back. but them when I placed the faces at first they were in black and white but then I added some pastes colors on top. well you know how mad (but in a good way) I can be with my collages.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Like I said in your previous collage(Genesis'), you're getting better and better with each new one, and this is a very notable proof. Definitely my favorite as far the colours, and what-so-on which I don't know go.

BTW, is that your hand? Shocked

Thanks buddy! Yeah I am getting the hang of Photoshop. Star

And! Yes that is my hand LOL

I thought about it and now I am pertmantly part of one collages what about that? I want to be part of it this time. Big smile

Sorry to slow down your rolling thunder darksideof... but I thought I would point out some things (just so you can add to its beauty!)

C&C: Around the borders of the band member's face's (along the top), you can see distinct lines of where the original photo ended, and it doesn't fade very well. I personally think it would look nicer if it blended all together (but maybe that's how you wanted it?)

no that is fine I like to get positive criticism of my work, but I don't see anything. Believe me I don't stop until I am satisfy and I am very careful blending pictures. if there arelines they were all intentionally done.

Thanks...

Another fantastic collage capturing the essence of progenitors of Canterbury, Gentle Giant. I like the use of the water how the Octopus lurks beneath and the severed hand rises as a phoenix threatening to snatch the band from the stage. The Giant with band in hand is like a monument and looks as iconic as the band's imagery on their albums. The concert photos are great but I particularly like the lighting like lasers cascading down from the heavens.

There is not as much colour this time but the band were never into colourful covers when you consider them. I would have liked to have seen the inclusion of the 'Acquiring the Taste' tongue and 'The Missing Pience' jigsaw piece somewhere as they are great albums. However, the inclusion of 'Power and the Glory''s king is subtle and works well.

Impossible to fault when you consider how much trouble you have gone through to make this an amazing original tribute to the band.

edit: Wow I just looked again and the missing jigsaw piece was there in the Giants head! - I missed that - devilishly clever!
