This is a really fun game from another forum I used to go to. You pick an album cover (or multiple) and draw your own poorly drawn version on Microsoft Paint.

Try these two:




Note: It's okay to post your own before the one above you is guessed.

I double checked Diablo Swing Orchestra's discography and there's no such album on it.

Deathspell Omega...

Do you guys really think I don't know Deathspell Omega? o:

This one is pretty hard. I'd say Solstafir, but that one is a boat rather than a ship. And yours look like a ship.
Well, let's wait for more people to give their guess

Ok here is mine. Let's put some culture into this. It's a huge classic. If no one finds it, I'll get mad.



I didn't want to deface it with an ugly font though.

Joe, you know you're actually getting better at drawing those, by the way?

This one I'm positive that I never seen before. I'd remember if I did.
JOOE's one still seems a bit familiar by the other hand. But the previous one also seemed and in the end it wasn't =P

I'll get mad if you post another intricate masterpiece in the POORLY drawn covers game thread.

He has a point. I mean you might as well just post the actual album cover and ask people to guess what it is.

It doesn't seem to influence its chance of being recognised. But fine, I'll stop .

Just think of it as a client requesting something just good enough to be potentially recognized by metalheads with a decent knowledge of album covers, but not good enough that said metalheads can guess it based on how similar it looks to the original image.

Haha. Trying to speak my language.
My reply to the client would be that in any case, recognising a cover is a lot more likely if you came in contact with it. If you haven't, it being poorly done or well done will not change the outcome of the game. If said metalhead has seen the cover already and is reminded of the name of the band thanks to a very particular detail that I would have drawn while someone else wouldn't have, then yes, that changes things. But since the details that I add are simply stylistic, I don't think it counts .

I mostly just like the ones that are funny looking cause of how bad they are

I actually feel somewhat bad now, like one of those teachers/family members that famous people have to overcome in their emotional life stories. "When Einstein was a kid, everyone thought he was stupid and told him to just give up. and look where he ended up". I'm like that guy who told Einstein he was stupid.

Haha. Very cute story Matt. Nah, I am not a very self-confident person, but I still need a lot more to take it personally.
I just take it as a challenge really. I'm just having fun with those. I had kinda stopped drawing for myself since it became the centre of my studies/job.

I really can stop doing them like that though.

I'm totally not confident when it comes to art-making too, I think lots of people are that way. In all honesty you can make them however you want, it doesn't make much difference to being able to figure them out or not.

I've been seriously thinking about it man... It must have been recent but you know my memory is playing against me more or less all the time.
I feel like searching through my posts now but it feels like cheating too.

Ok, do the band write their name in acronyms or was just a stylistic choice for this album in particular?

The band name is in a acronym (I dunno if it stands for anything though).

I didn't listen to anything after Cocaine, but after struggling with P2P clients to get the album, the way that band spells their name is engraved in my head.

I advise BM lovers to listen to that one, Cocaine.

Bumping mine. Extremely disappointed. Joe, you should know this.

I'm pretty sure I would know that one if I'd seen it, it's pretty distinctive. Looks like a screen cap from a 70s sci-fi film.
