May recall "Floyd" and I are working up some acoustic stuff as a side project.

Playing with the concept art;

Feed back appreciated.

Take the red glow out of the font and make the words a little transparent, and I think you got something. That's what people want these days, transparency.

Thanks for the input.
I'll give it a shot.
Overall, do you think it too masculine for an acoustic fireside project ?

I like it... but I wouldn't mind seeing an acoustic instrument somewhere in the frame. Something to soften it a bit. It's a good starting point.
It is a very contrasting almost cold image considering it's a fire :shock: ... doesn't necessarily conjure acoustic in my head. jmo.


Ohh and...
maybe add a couple of dancing girls. :P

Good luck with it Sans.

Thanks for the feedback Jahva.

I have a very yang personality so cold stark contrasts really appeal to me.
I like the idea of the added instrumentation.
Perhaps an actual photo of Eric and his guitar by fireside as a base would work better.

This is the adaptation I did based on SCReams input.

I think he was dead on . . . let me know if you think I'm headed in the right direction.

Get a cheap acoustic guitar. Throw it in the fire. Take picture. The end.

BTW what does too masculine mean?

Really ? :lol:

The intent of the project is acoustic "fire side" entertainment.
not a "rock" act or something of that nature.
I don't want the add to be too bold, or "masculine" but more relaxing.
Otherwise I could get a cheap acoustic guitar and burn it with some skulls n sh*t . . . :lol:

The way Martin is getting with their quality control these days.....nevermind I might piss somebody off LOL.

We've had that discussion about Martins here..no one will care.

It's no secret that the quality product of old is no longer the stable product it was. Only the price remains the same. lol

Well . . . Eric loved the art the way I changed it as per SCReams idea.

I'm going to do the burning guitar . . . eventually.

The idea is just too sweet to pass on.
