Hello everyone!! ♥ Welcome to a new Discord collab, the Album Art Collab! 

For this collab we’re going to have you recreate your favorite album covers in a limited palette of your choice! Here are some examples we made!

 

 

 

• For completing your first album you will get a cool trophy for your profile! You can continue claiming albums but will only get the single trophy for your first piece.
• Pick one album cover to claim (one at a time, finish before starting a new one.)
• Ask if it's open or check the google doc.
• When claiming specify which year your album comes from if it has multiple pressings.
• Produce a WiP within a week, finish within a month for any piece you claim.
• Claims are first come first serve. You may sprite reissue albums of albums already taken if they have different art. This also counts CDs with slip covers that do not match the cover on the booklet.
• For Japanese albums/reissues you may choose to include the obi. This will not count as a unique album like the above rule. (ie. if you do Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" Japanese release with an obi this counts as doing the cover for the album in general, thus others will not be able to take it unless it has fully unique art.)
• You may pick between vinyl or CD covers. Cassettes will not be accepted unless they have square art. Inserts, backs, or art on the CD will not be counted (you can always do them for fun!)
• Video game albums are fine as well, as long as they have official album art!
• Pick your palette. Aim for closeness, color pick use a palette, your choice! Max is 16 colors!
• No editing album art (ie. greyscale, cropping, etc. unless it already exists in an official capacity.)
• 48x48 only, no animations and no transparency.

 

 

- Pixel the backs, disc, or inserts if you want! 

- Send us a link to listen and we'll add it to the doc! (YouTube, Bandcamp, etc.)
