Rate my band's wallpapers!

EDIT: It won't let me edit out the old attachments and add the new ones. I'll fix it later today.

I played waaay too much guitar yesterday so today I decided not to play and I had a lot of time on my hands, so I decided to sit down and make some wallpapers for my band/semi-solo project thing I have going and for my upcoming concept album.

If I'm lucky enough to ever get my CD published, this is the artwork that would adorn the booklet.

I also created a myspace (shudder-yes, I know...) for this project. I realize myspace is gay but this truly is the best way to let people hear my stuff.

Tell me what you think! I think they're fairly badass

I liked the 1 st one. The other two are cool as well. They seem kind of difficult to see. Maybe invert the colors? Or maybe its just this crappy monitor.

those are some of the sickest backgrounds I've ever seen, I've saved them, and I'm using the 2nd one right now. Awesome man!

+1. The first and 3rd are awesome. The second doesn't do anything the first doesn't do, and the execution isn't quite as nice, but the artwork on 1 and 3 are devinitely keepers.

The logo, though... My advice would be to redraw that by hand and edit it in in place of the computer-generated one you have now. It looks like what it is - a computer trying to look like a pencil drawing.

I'd also revisit the font for the copyright in the bottom, too- against the pencil drawing in the background, it looks very "fake."

Still though, those drawings are awesome.

I took a pen and wrote out the name, then scanned it in-it's not computer generated. I see what you mean about the copyright, though, I'll change that.

And I personally like the 2nd one best-it's one of the drawings I've done I like best, the multi-tiered dummies-controlling-dummies-controlling-dummies thing appeals to me.

Thanks for your criticism!

Really? Hmm. I feel pretty stupid now.

Eh, maybe another crack at it, a little more chaotic this time? I think why it's not quite sitting right with me is the fact it's a muchmore uniform white than the image behind it...

Anyway, if you drew those, they're pretty damned cool, man.
