Thanks!!! haha. It's interesting too see which ones are liked best. There are many I'm stoked with. I think my favourite one might be the first CD cover commission i got from EEE Recordings for the Bedeiah -Crucifixition EP. I Spent hours noodling over that and am quite happy with the wood texture of the cross i got and the way i set everything up without showing Christ's face. Also I really like the Quest For Serenity - Whispers of Despair CD cover art, funny as it started out as a doodle while sitting on the couch watching tv and evolving out of the first random lines steering its direction. There are about another 12 cover artworks that have not come out yet as far as i know. Some of them probably never will yet some might and some may have and i didnt know. I discovered this one recently www.metal-archives.com/albums/Trastorno/Solemn_and_Glorious_Cult/378014 it's not a very clear way to see the art here though, it was for a DVD case wrap around cover. I should try and set up a simple website showing all the covers, there's actually quite a number of them now.

Sorry if this confuses anyone - I moved this thread from the Christian black metal section to the "visual arts" section.
Drawnsword, if you want a dotcom, I can hook you up with one and help you get started. Answer any questions you have and even help with your page creation. I'd be honored to help you with it.
I'd just want to be reimbursed for the dotcom charge - I'm guessing it would be like $20-$25 a year? I'd have to check with my domain. Cheaper than registering yourself - you'd have to pay $150 a year for the space and other stuff. (or at least, that's what I pay)

I think I like some of the Antivenom stuff best. Especially the Sacred Funeral cover. For logos, the Megiddon logo is best by far, in my opinion.

I was very blessed to have the 4 covers drawnsword did for the Quest for Serenity albums, thanks bro.
My favourite of the QFS covers (although they are all awesome) is 'Moonlight Worship', love the picture and shades of blue & black.

Ancient Fortress cover.
It reminds me of the cold atmospheric covers of Paysage d'Hiver.

Cheers Varg! and everyone else.
I just did a new cover for Flukt, to keep an eye out for.
I'm currently working on my graphic novel (comic book) which is a massive project.

I would like to read the graphic novel. What is it about? New Flukt? Could be cool Thanks for your interest. The graphic novel I'm creating "Fierce Landz" is set in a distant future, post apocalyptic Earth and partly colonized solar system. It is a very different and strange world where there is a brutal divide between rich and poor, and a stark contrast of good and evil. The main character is a human/mutant/part cyborg, Bounty Hunter. Think, Mad Max meets Strontium Dog meets The Book of Enoch. I am currently still world building and designing the look of characters and more about them and the look of certain things. I'm drawing the book in pencil with each panel rendered to max in graphite to help keep a dark and gritty look and every few pages or so i will fully ink a page. This will help speed up the process also, as i think its nuts to go over your work twice, but since i love the look of inks i will throw one in where it will suit best.

Cheers! Glad to hear you think so. I was working on putting together a B+W art book, made up of various fantasy sci-fi illustrations, yet because it has no collective story or central theme it kind of feels empty. I had been developing a couple of other graphic novel concepts also off and on over the last couple of years, and decided to switch back to creating Fierce Landz. I think what i find most interesting, is the challenge of having to create a cool looking sci-fi world yet having to base it on some reality that everyone can relate too in some degree in many different areas. Having a story concept like this commands for a creative visual feast and the challenge of trying to come up with a strong story and address some relevant issues. Though most importantly keeping it an entertaining wild sci-fi fantasy story, and making it look really amazing is my main goal. Thanks for the interest, will keep the progress updated.
