Ok! My name is Occultus Nocturne, and I am the lead singer of a extreme metal band called Ashur. The contest is basically to see who can make the best cover design for our up and coming release "The First Dark Age". I would do it myself as I am perfectly capable, but, well, I'm veeeerrry busy making the music for said album. I must stress that it must be very professional, and as we (everyone in the band) are extremely poor, it will be an act of charity, save for notariety when the album is released. I wil provide an explanation as to what we need done: The top of an old mountain, at the very top lies an ancient elaborate throne, carved out of, and surrounded by, the top of the mountain. There is noone in the throne, but there is an empty chalice at it's side. Surrounding the mountain is a desolate wasteland,comprised of rubble and bones. The sky is red, with flashes of lightning and Cyclones that ravage the empty earth. To the front of the throne, either standing, or runing down the mountain, needs to be evil looking characters clad in armor, depicting the three members of the band. (you can find our pictures as reference in my house) Myself,Occultus Nocturne, in front of the throne, to the left Smitchens (the guy with the guitar in my house) to the right, Lord Killgore (the guy with the rag on his head in my house). I will also put up the logo in my house as it and the title must be evident on the cover. It must be dark in nature, yet vibrant, as to stand out. Just post them here when you are done, and we apreciate any and all support. Thank you my friends. This means alot to me and the band.

Big CHANGE OF PLANS PEOPLE!!
Forget all I wrote up there, the album is now nameless and is a concept album. Here's the premise: Human woman loves vampire. Village burns woman for suspicion of witchcraft. vampire brutally attacks village, village hunts him down, theres a big showdown, and we dont know what happens to him, the vampire. Bad news for those of you who started already, but good news, because this is left open. We have no ideas, so run with it

2006-09-10 [Viperess]: hummm will talk to a friend and see what he can do

2006-09-11 [The Matter of Splatter]: Thank you, I need all the help/suport I can get

2006-09-18 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: sounds like a complicated thing... unfortunately i am not an artist at all, i prefer writing texts and music, so there is no way for me to help you... but i would be interested in the release when you get it out, if there's a way to get it in germany...

2006-09-18 [The Matter of Splatter]: We have a distributer in England who will handle all of our overseas sales. I'll make sure you get a copy...let's hope the fucking album will have a cover at this rate lol...I'm so busy with the music itself I dont have time to draw anything. this site used to be full of awesome artists who would help friends out when they needed it. Doesn't seem that way anymore...

2006-09-18 [Viperess]: hey how about posting a contest for it?Have it advertised on the main page of et

2006-09-19 [The Matter of Splatter]: Good idea :)

2006-09-19 [Viperess]: Thanks..the brain still works sometimes I think...

2006-09-19 [The Matter of Splatter]: Umm one dillema.. I've been reading Mainstreet, and I still have no idea how..could you do it for me?

2006-09-19 [Viperess]: Looks like you message either [ally] or [Sunrose] about placing a message there.

2006-09-19 [the 5th apocalyptic horseman]: this place has gone down a lot during the last two or three years... it used to be a lot of fun but by now i find hardly a reason to come here any more...

2006-09-19 [Lady Elle]: me wanna try and help :P... not that I'll be any good at it or anything XD

2006-09-19 [Lothuriel]: Actually, you can leave a comment on MC, with the name of your contest, the deadline and the name of the host/hostess and it will be advertised on Mainstreet for a brief amount of time as long as it follows their guidelines.

2006-09-22 [The Matter of Splatter]: Done and done :) thanks :)

2006-10-03 [The Matter of Splatter]: Well this has turned out to be a real flop. I used to have so many friends here, now it feels so desolate. No help, not even a word of advice. I suppose now it falls upon my already burdened shoulders not only to write the music, and do all promotions, but now I am the bands regent graphic artist. This sucks.

2006-10-03 [Viperess]: try ummmm ortez on musmakers

2006-10-04 [blaze333]: sorry i cant help but im just learning how to do graphics and i suck if i had the ability i would help but if its any constelation i think the cover sounds amazing and if its anything like what youve done in the past it will be nothing shot of a masterpeice good luck and ill definetly be buying the album

2006-10-04 [Lady Elle]: you could always suffer with my terrible creation LMAO

2006-10-12 [birdsong]: You have all my support, my friend.

Sorry babe...i'm wishing you all the best with it tho! :)

2006-10-16 [The Matter of Splatter]: I am thinking that it is better off that I not have anyone's help with anything. I do, however, appreciate the support greatly.
