Isn't this nifty?
Jan. 30th, 2010 10:12 amAs part of putting together my first packaged-for-download album, I had been looking into how to make printable CD covers like Noise Records used to offer. It took a while to find one that worked, but I got one for Visio in the end and managed to get this out of it:
The front cover artwork was done by an artist called Acidic, who I should warn has been doing increasingly horrifying subjects recently (the contrast is amazing, his gallery starts off with Calvin and Hobbes). It was based around the song "Ängel Eye" (superfluous umlaut certainly deliberate), which is about how generic fantasy characters thought up by the community could be (actually it was a direct mockery of an artist that I know and I really hope that he doesn't eventually realize that it's him). The specification I gave him went along the lines of "tons of Final Fantasy nonsense", and he certainly delivered on that - it's strange that he managed to do it so well that I'm very pleased to present my music under the banner of this thing that should objectively be an abomination.
Here's the album page on Bandcamp. All songs are listenable online, and for a $4 download fee, you also get a bonus track, the front and back case templates, source files and scraps that didn't make it in.
