And I'm of course going to enter it. I think I might have a good chance, since I'm kinda "in" with the band. The bassist and I have e-mailed back and forth a few times. He's even sent me some t-shirts and posters in the mail. And the singer and I talk on MSN quite frequently. Not to mention I'm the leader of their official street team.
So anyway, as soon as I found out about the contest, I opened Photoshop and went to town. Came up with a couple cover designs and showed them to the singer, and he said he was kinda looking for a new take on their 3d iron dragon (

At any rate, I won't post pics, because they're pretty big, instead I'll just link to the directory where I'm storing them.

The preview
xx.jpg images are the dragon I've been modelling in Cinema 4D. The more and more I work on the dragon, the better I think my chances become of actually getting my art picked. The art isn't just for the front of the CD case, it's for the ENTIRE album. CD, booklet, everything.
