Artwork I Probably Won't Use PART 4

I have a bunch of ideas floating around at any given time, but some of them just don't work for various reasons. I have a bunch of cover art ideas sitting in my folders. Here are some that I won't use. As much as I'd like to give timeframes for these, I sadly don't know when most of them are from; the dates in the file data were reset because of computer problems I had some time ago. But they are all Christian. CLICK IMAGES TO VIEW FULL SIZE. The images are all (C) Nocturnal Iridescence unless stated otherwise, and may not be used without permission from me.

They're all labeled "space". Not sure what I was going to use them for. All too small.

I briefly considered making Sword of His Mouth a drone metal project. The left image would have been the logo. (It's just the text "Sword of His Mouth" mirrored several times with some filters.) The right image is a rough draft of cover art. The text is "YAHWEH" in Hebrew. I might reuse these ideas but for the drone metal project I now have, gkrilot (thwaettr).

Not sure what I would have used these for. Too small for cover art.

Also too small for cover art.

 

So, So Cold was a very short-lived project I never started. Apparently I had an idea for a song called "Dark"? I don't remember. If you're wondering, the logo on the right of that top image is an unused logo idea I had for Vibrant Life.

Too small to be used for cover art. Might still find a use for them, though...

Same story as the previous 4.

Schildkrötenweg - Turtles Awaaaaaaay!
This was never a serious thing, just an inside joke with a friend.
I still remember you Cristina, and remember fondly the friendship we had. I wonder if you'll ever see this.

Northernhoarfrost Everlasting was a short-lived project idea I had in February 2023. I'm just going to take the ideas I had for it, over to Coldrealm. The cover art is taken from [here]. Note that these last 3 pictures are very large (over 3000 px) and may lag slower devices.

Artwork I Probably Won't Use PART 3

Stuff I was going to use for an EP. Too small though. If I ever use anything like these pictures (which I'd love to), I'd have to make new versions.

Logo ideas (made mostly from fonts). The left one is "Legend" (symphonic black), and the right one is "Pleasant" (depressive black). Both names were already taken.

 

Ideas for "Haunt". It was going to be an anti-occult project. The name was already taken. I'll probably still do something with the ideas, just with a different name. The cover art is mostly adapted from "Cross and Church in the Mountains" by Caspar David Friedrich which is public domain. But if I remember right, I took the grim reaper from some random thing on google images (and added the cross to it) since this was just a private draft, and planned to make an alternate version with original or public domain material before release.

Unused artwork for Look Above You at the Sky. Too small. If I ever used something like this (which I very well might!), I'd have to make a new version.

Sanctuarium. The name was already taken. It lasted surprisingly long considering I never recorded a single song for it, lol. It was going to be funeral doom, but...... while "melancholic", it was meant to be more "hopeful" than most of that music. Obviously I don't own the My Little Pony screenshot.

I only ever ended up doing one MLP song under Look Above You at the Sky, but I had intended to do more. These were cover ideas I had. Obviously I don't own the source material. Nothing was ever even formally written for these. In order, they're:
1) Why Must You Hurt Me in This Way Dashie
2) Fluttershy Hides Behind a Potato Chip While Applejack Ain't Lion About This Tea Party
3) Wow Rainbow Dash Are You Serious Right Now like Wow
4) Lunacy?!

 

Left: This project currently goes by http. At the time it was called p...
The song was going to be called "chkdsk". It was going to be some kind of electronic noisy black metal...... something or other. I'll probably still use the idea someday, just in a different way.

Right: The aforementioned http. This is all actually made from my own photo resources, other than the couple, who are [adapted from this public-domain picture]. I still like this. I just don't see myself using it.

 

Left: I ended up using [different artwork] for this. I will most likely reuse a lot of ideas from this. I like it a lot!...... but I'd basically have to remake them. This version is too small. All artwork in this version was drawn by me.

Right: "Unblack & Associates, Inc." -- an early version of what would become Unblack 98, lol. Unused of course. This was just a draft. And as such, it uses artwork from somewhere else. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I got the photograph from... A quick google search tells me it's copyrighted to "aisglass.com" but I'm not sure.

 

I was going to use this for Look Above You at the Sky, but I don't remember how. Possibly for Facebook? The filename "water" comes from the transparent glass-like effect, similar to water.

Left: VESELHUD. The name doesn't mean anything. It may have been a situation where I saw letters in a word search puzzle or something random like that, and thought it'd make a cool band name. Either way, it was going to be some kind of black metal but it never happened. It's mostly from the "Rothenburg Decorative" font and I think the cross in the middle is from one of the "Fire of Ysgard" fonts.

Right: I was going to use this for Look Above You at the Sky. I technically did use it as a cover photo, back when that project had a Facebook page. The project itself is still active, but I won't be using this artwork.

 

Left: VIUWM. Another thing where I sketched something, then tried to make out letters. This was going to be symphonic black metal. I plan to take the ideas to another project.

Right: Space-themed cover art I never finished.

Left: SOLITARY WIND. A project I never really started. Also, too small to use as cover art. Might reuse the idea someday. Like others mentioned though, if I do, it'll probably be for an established project, not a new one.

Right: Cover idea I apparently started on but never finished.

Left: RISEN. Project I never started.
Right: Cover art idea I never used.

Left: "JESUS". This is interesting because it was apparently made 27 May 2013, the time when I was taking Christianity more seriously, but had yet to actually.... convert, so to speak. The idea of this was to make a band with the name Jesus so nobody else could take it and misuse the name. ........ Unsurprisingly, the band name was taken, lol. To say nothing of the fact that my beliefs weren't even properly Christian at that time, so I would have, even if unintentionally, been misusing the name myself.

Right: OV SUBTERRANEA. (Un)black metal project I never started. Other than the name, all elements of this were adapted from a certain classical painting. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the painting was. All I remember is what you see here - it had branches, and a wolf. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know so I can give credit! (Even if it's public domain, I still find credit important...)

I made the first version and liked it (left), but it was too small so I wanted a bigger version (right). Still didn't end up using it though. I think it was going to be used for Look Above You at the Sky.

A project I had the idea for but never finished. The artworks on the left are from photographs I found on Google Images. I made the picture on the right myself.

Band name: Nuclear War
(planned genre: Black/Thrash Metal)
Album: It Ends Here
(label - Annihilated Pentagram Productions - unreleased)

1) Dies...
2) Burn Their Asherah Poles
3) Rev 20:10
4) Rev 20:14
5) Mat 24:35
6) ... Irae
7) Rev 21:4

All artworks I like in theory, but are too small to really be used as cover artwork.
