    I will probably extend voting until next week some time so take your time.

    Entry #1

    Title: The Reptilians

    Artist: Bunyip02

    Comment:  Love the snappy colors, the composition, and the font.  A perfect 70's album cover.yes

     

    Entry #11

    Title: Flamin Carrarians

    Artist: Stezza

    Comment:  Super lively and creative homage, terrific modeling as usual.

     

    Entry #14

    Title: Oh, Robot

    Artist: Headwax

    Comment:  Awesome texturing and everything else.  Any band called the Heinlines gets my vote - although the Asimovians might be more appropriate. :)

     

    Entry #23

    Title: Monkee Crue

    Artist: Mystiarra

    Comment:  OK, the render wasn't square.  Maybe it was a gatefold?  Whatever, it looked so wonderfully goofy I had to vote for it.

     

    Very fine work from everyone.  The quality was consistently very high.  Carrara is alive and well.  Mschack, you did good. yes

    "Fancy Joker"
    Artist: Vyusur

    Wonderful render in every detail, including even the background coloring - and those eyes truly capture the soul!

     

    Entry #: 2
    Title: Time tribute
    Artist: Bunyip02

    Nice looking album cover! I love the background effect as well as the way the title and icon (clock) fill the space. Very album cover like! Bravo!

     

    Entry #21
    Title: Come Fly With Me
    Artist: UnifiedBrain

    Amazing job, UB! Colors, graphic album styling, all the album cover detailing... very nice!

     

    Entry #15
    Title: Aretha
    Artist: Headwax

    HW, that painted album cover look... you've nailed it perfectly! The lettering and the background lend well and also sell it as an album cover, but that Aretha figure is spot-on gorgeous in that 'album art' style! I also love the fact that you made your signature into part of the album detailing. Clever and artistic!

     

    Hey everyone else, I'd like you all to know that it was difficult to Not pick one of your entries. To help narrow things down I thought about the theme and started imagining which ones reminded me of an album I would see, not necessarily buy. Even still it was tough to keep it to four.

    Congrats to all for wonderful entries and thanks for the WIPs provided!

    Comment: this kind of render represents, for me, the creativity you can achieve in Carrara when you put your mind to it.

    I'm limited to 4, so I stop there, but I could easily have added several more. A very nice challenge. A big thank yo Mschack for coming with a so inspiring subject and for the quality of the hosting.
