cover
Most of my friends who've seen it seem to like it... but it could use a more critical eye...
Does the whole thing just scream photoshop? I've been thinking of losing the wizard's cap entirely..

to me, it does 'scream' photoshop yeah.. it does not have really that standard professional type look thats common nowadays on commercial cd's..
it looks more like an amateur 'funny' cover thats pretty common in the electronic releases..
its all up to taste anyway, my personal opinion is it looks good, the wiz hat has a cool glow and the fonts are okay (but once again, they dont have that "pro" look, but thats overrated anyway.
other than that it may look a bit disjointed, where the elements dont really serve a function, like the hat..

How about the gnome could be taking a poop while eating a sadwich, and maybe include an anteater.

the triangle logo thingy looks random and out of place. the text also seems... sloppily placed. i'm no expert, but there you go.

aalso, without the hat and the glow, the blue colour for the font might be an odd choice.

need to work on the scale or something, the writing seems a bit too small. not saying it has to be masssive, but i barely noticed the name of the album was there.

You know, using a different color for the words could do wonders. It kind of screams ms paint, the bright blue over black. I might suggest something a little less vibrant, like a dusty red or pastel teal. As well, reposition it in the lower corner instead of the middle/upper side. Take out that triangle.
Personally I don't like the gnome, but you could get by with it if the lettering were done properly. Maybe change the color scheme a bit, and do some smearing or smoothing of the edges. Maybe taking it in a different direction and instead of making it look like a poor photocopy (which seems to be your intention) make it oversimplified and solid.

Seeing as CDs are redundant, album art has kind of become an anachronism. If I ever get around to finishing something, I will design pseudo-pagan symbols based on Cyrillic fonts for each song.

thanks people, I'll re-tool and re-post eventually.
The wizard's cap is cut for sure, might redo the entire lefthand side and brighten up the right side as well.

You can make insane ass images with Cinema 4d. That's what I would use for an album cover.

I wouldn't advise that. People might think he is using the albums proceeds to hire prostitutes or something.
