Artwork I Probably Won't Use PART 3

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.



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.
