A couple of days ago, I was surfing the web's imagery looking for... Well, nothing in particullar. Suddenly, I found a metal rock CD cover that got my attention. I'm not a big fan of the under rock (I'm more like a classic rock -national- & electronic music -trance, psy- guy), so this was the first time I truly realized there are great (and almost anonymous) artists working to give that catchy looking to the covers of our beloved albums, specially for the metal ones. Have you even searched the web for metal rock CD covers? They feel like a fantasy compendium on their own (and a very dark one I must say. Hey, fans of black magic!)
So, even if I wouldn't like to restrict the round to just metal covers, you've guessed right:
Your challenge:
Take any card you want and alter it making a custom art based on a CD cover. The band could be any music style you want, it doesn't matters. You may use the art of the cover partially or fully, it's up to you. Please, be sure to provide a link to the source of your inspiration and also try to provide us with the name of the original artist if possible (let's give them the credit they deserve!) Hint: Try to choose an image that fits coherently the card's flavor.
Your reward:
The contest winner determined by poll will be rewarded with a digital trophy above his avatar and announced on mtgsalvation home.
More information, rules and restrictions - please read carefully!
General rules
The work you submit must be something you created for this contest and nothing you pulled from your portfolio.
If you take someone else's artwork as reference, please provide the source.
Keep in mind your entry should be work safe, i.e. no naked boobies or other stuff of that kind
Silent submission: Do not post your work here. Instead send it by pm to both adunakhor and Blackbull. All entries will be revealed when the polls are up.
When submitting your entry, please make sure your pic/scan has a width of 300 pixel. If you can`t do it, no problem, but it would help a lot to make entries more comparable.
Deadline for this contest is 31 July, 23:59 your local time
I hope many artists join this month. I think this is a great chance to explore an almost unknown fantasy-art area.
What are you waiting for? Go and pick your favourite cover, card and brushes and start creating!
Now I think about it, this idea probably nested in my subconscient due to a contestant sending a Hidden Strings altered with an image from a CD cover last month. *sigh*
Anyway, still being a great theme for a month, IMO.
