Help with artwork for new prog album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Yeah, it would be cool if you could msg him or something, I really liked what I saw there

Well actually, we scratched the idea of the demon peering over on the front, and now it's just gonna be him on a park bench looking over the city and then for the inside cover we're gonna put him on the same park bench, sitting like nothing had changed only he's sitting in hell; something along those lines.

Well, the album isn't all recorded and ready right now, but I could send you the lyrics if that would help at all and it will probably be a home production, one of the band members has a big home recording studio so it will be a good home production. And jake I like whwat I've seen in your signature, I'll email you.

I know tha one's already exploding with passion, i like how fiery the sky is, and how the person is a stick figure, lol theres nothing more badass than 5 lines and a circle, but I'm looking for something, you know, good...

lol, well, the concepts right I was just expecting something a tiny bit more badass than that, and also I'd actually rather have two snakes eating each others' tails and forming a circle

I'm not sure precisely where to post this, but I need somebody who can make the artwork for my album "Faustus 2031".It's based on the Chrisopher Marlowe play "The Tragic history of Dr. Faustus", about a man who sells his soul to the devil for power, only i changed a few things around. But anyways I need someone who can symbolize the demon's power over faustus, so whatever you can do with that would be fine. If you want an idea of what to do, mine was to have Mr. Faustus sitting on a bench in front of the beautiful skyline for a city. Then on the inside we're gonna put him on the same park bench, sitting exactly the same way, only he's sitting in hell. What you make hell look like is completely up to you, I'm not gonna decide that.

Also, I'm looking for a symbol for a possible band name "Halfway to Infinity", something like two snakes eating eachothers tales and forming a circle, kinda like an ourobouros, or anything else that symbolizes halfway to infinity, once again, those are just ideas of mine, I'd like to see what you have got too.

EDIT

Actually another idea i had for the Faustus 2031 was perhaps a man walking in front of a building under construction and kicking a stone or something, and then his shadow is a devil, that one might be a bit siimpler to make, try either pf the two or make your own, id like to see what everyone has.

	I like your idea of the city, but the approach could be better. let Faust stand in front of a beautiful city on the front cover. on the back cover you show the same city, but in ruins, with the demon grinning and a weeping Faust Edited by BaldJean - August 16 2009 at 02:55

	If you could post a link with a download for the album, after some listens it would be much easier to make artwork.
