You know, my plan is to release the album quietly and let it speak for itself. However, i have to say, it is definitely one of my better ones. The cover art for this one will be provided by Shibara over at http://shibara.tumblr.com/
Today we’re showcasing Shibara’s 4 proposals for the cover. Sometimes i like to ask the fanbase for their opinion on which one to pick, but this time i just went ahead and picked my favorite, since it was pretty clear to me. You can try to guess which one, but the die is cast.
Probably #4, with the infamous cable-mask leitmotif.
Myself and a few others were all immediately drawn to 3.
I kind of like all of them, with 4 at a close second. It feels like we’re watching a mini-adventure for tiny scarab bot.
I hope tiny scarab bot has a good day.
I’ll guess it’s #4.
Reasoning: #1 looks great, but doesn’t have much of a “cover art” feel to it (it’s more what I’d expect of interior or back-cover art). #2 doesn’t really put as much emphasis on the creature as the other ones indicate may be warranted. #3 feels like it might be a bit too busy (though that could be mitigated a bit depending on the color scheme).
I of course expect that I’m totally wrong on all of this. 🙂
Those are all really awesome.
