awesome.. can't wait for more! also, for an album cover you could show Matthew walking through a big screen into the other world(with objects/plant life from the other world popping through the screen), and his brother in the next room having a party with friends. just a thought?

I've got my own ideas for the cover, actually. But thanks for the recommendation.

completely understandable. if i could draw a decent picture without taking too long i'd volunteer the album art.. i will give my hand at it though. what do you want it to be a picture of? i really want to put an effort into drawing something for it.

The idea I had was that it wouldn't be as much a picture as it would be a collage of pictures. I'm drawing a lot of influence from this http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAu...../41/950141.jpg in terms of the ideas I'm getting for it. If I had any drawing or photography skills, that's probably the style I'd make it in.

Most likely, this would be the layout:

5 pictures, arranged in a rectangle (the bottom picture elongated to the width of 2 of the upper pictures). Picture 1 would have a snapshot of Tokyo at night, picture 2 would have a close-up of one of the female character's faces. Picture 3 would have Matthew sitting behind his computer in a darkened room, picture 4 would be of a massive, tropical mountain range representing the world itself. The last picture, a landscape shot, would be of Alex in the middle of a tropical field of waist-high grass, with a large assault rifle. The rifle would be slightly larger than normal because it would portray that he is inexperienced with it.

ah, i see. those last 2 frames would be a tad hard to do, but the photoshopping part would be a breeze. will see what i can do on my free time.
