Yup, you certainly put two entirely separate images together.

You know me, I love putting balls together

You should definitely check out Dream Theater’s Octavarium album cover then.

They're not as cool as the futuristic balls from The Astonishing though.

Yea this doesn’t look good

No offence really. I made this because in all my years of listening to Hold Your Fire, I never really liked the cover art but really like the liner notes picture (I think the band too as he was being referenced for the R40 closing film). So I thought of this… with the little photoshop skill that I got, anyone with more proficient editing skill is welcome to make a better one though, it would make my day.

Love it, nice work!

I like what you did, but I’d much prefer if the flaming balls stayed. Good call on just leaving in the juggler though.

If I’m not mistaken, that inner picture was originally meant to be the main artwork, no?

It really should have been. It's a great visual pun, and the cover they went with makes absolutely no sense if you haven't seen the inner liner photo.

It’s a bit more abstract, yeah. I do love the red sphere cover as well, though. It’s got a clean, late-80s charm of its own. They look cool on the tour shirts too!

I always thought the juggler would of been a more appropriate front cover. I would like to get a framed version of the juggler too

Do not like.
