Greetings fellow baiters and purple squirrels!

The first Eater album is due for release in 2 weeks. Of course the release will be free to the public, and done completely by eater members. Cougar, BookReader and Phil Yerboots wrote most of the lyrics, I wrote one song's lyrics. Brainiac and i did all the recording and mixing, and I'm handling the release.

Anyway, we're in desperate need of a band logo and album artwork, so we here in the band once again call out to the lovely folks and awesome rodents..er..squirrels at at the Eater to chip in.

The person who does the best Album art and/or logo (up to two winners) will receive a signed copy of the album in CD form, as well a special sneak peek at the Eater public video project!

So what are you waiting for? Get your best lad poses, get your best photoshop plugins, get your best badger models, and make some awesome artwork!

I do have a lot of artwork in my album but I need to see what is on my PC.

Ill have a bash at this !!!! Does the album have a specific title?

No matter what you choose as the cover art, could you PLEASE consider using a "Chairborne Stranger" tab as a logo?

@next Victim: If it's legal to use, I'll consider using a Chairborne Stranger tab. Razz

@Goldblade: The album's title is "Out of Ladland"

I have no idea about the legality of that, but it just fits the whole purpose here! I'm guessing you know where that comes from!

Actually, I never heard of Chairborne Strangers till I read your post Razz

That is a military thing I picked up years ago. I can post an Airborne Ranger tab if someone can chop it. I can use a 2nd Bn since they no longer exist.

Next victim: I guess we could give that a shot.

As for album art, here's my submission, to my own contest. Very Happy

Edit: This was just supposed to be a link, if it causes issues, I can change it out.

I think your truck has a flat tire there, Fowan.

Thanks for the submission, and I'll pass this along to the judges. AKA, the other band members Smile

My submission...

Crochy, your idea is good. That's me by the way in RL, that's what I look like.

Behind me, that flat area is: Area 51 where they land the U.F.O.'s

Thanks to all for the submissions.

I always knew you were an alien, Brainy.

So far we have 4 submissions, if we include mine.

I guess I'll open the polls, if anyone wants to vote on their favorite, send me a PM (it's a secret ballot)

If Brainy and I feel nice, we'll take your votes into consideration before picking my submission. Twisted Evil

Nah, I'll keep it fair, I leave the evil stuff for my prey and for SOOI.

Although Deuzer's entry is by far the best, my vote goes to "Fowan Nyne" as he has obviously spent more time on it and he's a star! Very Happy

Interested in what, exactly? The evilness that I save for SOOI? Or the album art contest? Razz

Ah. yes. The only person who voted in the competition since I opened the polls to the public. Razz

What am I doing wrong if Fowan has a fan and I do not.

I'll work on a submission.

Edit is this a real album cover? Is there artwork specifications?

@Bravo: Yes, this is a real album cover. Specifications? The band is called Eater, the album is "Out of Ladland".

Shouldn't be anything racist, or nude... not sure how my label is on the nude part...they also signed a band that had cartoon nudity on their album. But oh well, no nudity Razz

@Jose: Can you edit the watermark on that? Razz

Better yet, make the lads redo it, with the band and album name on the sign behind them Twisted Evil
