Eh, drawing realistically gets old pretty fast. Gotta spice things up a little. :-P

Plus how else to draw SFW versions of NSFW covers?

Great album, great drawing too! Thanks for participating man!

I've added a new feature for registered users: you can now limit the "new albums" page, etc. to show only albums that you haven't yet guessed.

I have implemented a new feature where guests are allowed to guess albums as well, so now you don't even have to join to take part in the fun. Thanks to everybody here who has already taken part and helped this site get off the ground.

Things are going swimmingly, but we could use some more metal fans. Here's a teaser of what awaits:

I just spent way too long drawing this one. Kind of an underwhelming album overall, but sick cover art.

Nobody has guessed this one yet, but I think a lot of people here should recognize it.

Not bad, it's at least recognizable, which is the only goal when drawing an album cover.

Took a random album out of my collection and ran with it.

should have picked a simpler album cover. Or, at least, start working on one when it isn't 0:20 in the morning, fuck.

Not to mention prudish and stupid and absolutely ridiculous.

I don't care about nudity one way or the other, but my web host has a strict "no porn" policy that I'd rather not run afoul of. I know they probably wouldn't care about hand-drawn album cover replicas, but I'd rather not test my luck. So "prudish, stupid, and ridiculous" it is not. ;)


my work's I.T. department thinks the entire Metal Archives website as a whole is a porn site, so...it could be worse I suppose. (they are so unreasonable at my company, that I once tried to look up an innocent Soduku website and they said it was "porn.")

I do like the idea for the thread. So far I've seen a couple I recognize, but lemme guess...the second one you posted (after Queensryche) that's not supposed to be the Grateful Dead, is it?

I wasted a ridiculous portion of my evening creating this one (perspective is a bitch), so go forth and guess it or I'm gonna cut off your shohnsons.

The face turned out kinda funny, but in all fairness, he is a zombie.

If I may give a suggestion for adding more 'addictiveness' to the site..... It would be cool if you had some sort of option to fade out all the albums covers that you have guessed (kinda like on Letterboxd where you have the option to fade out movies you've already watched).... Make it a bit of an elimination game ;)

Glad you like the site! Your idea is "sort of" already implemented; if you go to the settings area, there is a checkbox for "show guessed albums in lists of albums". In this way you can hide the albums you got right and only see the ones you have yet to guess.

We're still waiting for a correct answer for this one. I don't recognize it myself, although I could just look at the answer, being the administrator and all.

I joined and drew an album. Seems like a fun way to stave off boredom. It's a pretty terrible drawing, though.

I guess if I actually put some time and effort into it, I can achieve a decent result:

EDIT: didn't realize no nudity, will resubmit with little black boxes once I draw 5 albums.
