CD Artwork by takua108

Okay, so we're releasing a CD of <a href="http://64digits.com/users/index.php?userid=takua108&cmd=comments&id=3298" target=_blank>the crap</a> we recorded at <a href="http://64digits.com/users/index.php?userid=takua108&cmd=comments&id=3233" target=_blank>my party</a>, mostly to raise money for <a href="http://www.takedowntheband.com" target=_blank>Takedown</a> (the band who performed the aforementioned crap), so they can buy some sweet equipment. The music will be free to download, so you don't <i>have</i> to buy a CD, but it'll cost like $8.99USD, so what do you have to lose, aside from that negligible bit of cash.

So tonight I decided I'd do the album artwork. Here's the stuff I did (<b>click for full-view</b>):

<table border=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td><a href="http://thetyphooncorp.com/upload/cd_disc.png"><img src="http://thetyphooncorp.com/upload/cd_disc.png" height=200 border=0 /><br />The CD decal</a></td><td><a href="http://thetyphooncorp.com/upload/cd_traycard_out.png"><img src="http://thetyphooncorp.com/upload/cd_traycard_out.png" height=200 border=0 /><br />The tray inset (back and sides of the CD case)</a></td></tr></table>

In case you're wondering, I made these using Fireworks MX. Like, entirely. Except for the hand holding the lighter, that was hand-drawn and scanned (it's also on <a href="http://takua108.deviantart.com" target=_blank>my deviantART</a>).

Also, the title "Adam's House '06" is just filler; we'll come up with a pwnin' title in due time.

In other news, I'm happy I've got a fairly decent reputation (~4.75/5 at time of writing), so thanks guys! I'm glad you think I'm as awesome as I do.

In <i>real</i> news, us Americans nuked Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. Just goes to show that we don't ciribot <i>everything</i> up.

So now that I've infused politics into my otherwise art- and egocentric blog post, can I maybe get some comments? Preferably about the art? <a href="http://64digits.com/users/index.php?userid=takua108&cmd=comments&id=2533" target=_blank>The only other time I've made a blog post about art, I got zero replies.</a> So maybe this time?

Before I sign out, I thought I'd post one of the songs for this upcoming album. As you can see (erm…hear), it's a unique blend of good music and humour. I hope you enjoy it. [<a href="http://thetyphooncorp.com/upload/pwnage.mp3" target=_blank>Link</a>]

Here's your comment: Not bad… and by that i mean better than i can do…althought i dont like the hand.

takua108 18 years, 10 months ago

Yeah, it changed perspective when I was drawing it…meaning that I was looking at my left hand while drawing it with the right, and my perspective shifted. That's why the thumb looks wierd, anyways.

I reckon a hand spread out just about to grab you would look cool.

takua108 18 years, 10 months ago

Yeah, but System of a Down already did that…

Adventus 18 years, 10 months ago

well maybe have the hand around the wother way, as if there grabbing the cd

Where you put they put the hole as an eye - genius. Nice work there.

Pretty awesome, but I think we all should design covers and have like 5 different covers for the same CD to confuse people.

…Like <i>Steal this Album!</i>? Nah, we'll save that for later use. Good idea, though.
