• Grime/Dubstep EP Cover.
    25 replies, posted
Hey guys, I mix music and am working towards an EP release (dubstep and grime). A friend who does concept art pointed me towards this site, saying it contains people who can hack this kind of stuff. My computer designing skills go as far as making concentric circles in paint and so would appreciate the help. The design should hopefully be the right size to fill a youtube video (not have any added-in unprofessional black from youtube around the edges). Preferably I want something like a motherfucking robot with multiple shotguns and rocket-launchers beating a nun to death with a wrench.. or something along those lines. For those of you that have seen dubstep art it tends to be either extremely dark cartoonish sort of stuff, or amazing complex designs that make you like "whoah that shits cool". My name is MEKANIK, (I've played at loads of venues such as Sankeys, Saki Bar, Revs, cba listing everywhere) had interest from various labels, offers to support a load of bigger dubstep artists etc, have spoken to Spor, Rusko, Damu, Kode-9 etc - so you wouldn't be wasting your time). Anyway thanks a bunch fellas and I hope someone gets on to me :) (louislimonlouis@hotmail.co.uk if you want to contact me.)

Dubstep set has some good tracks in, what software do you use?
when i recorded that i used traktor with a poseidon midi controller and a sampler, but hadnt got the knack of using the sampler much :P literally just ordered a juno-g synthesiser and a vocoder so i can add trippy vocals myself during live sets while fucking about with my sampler i got my grade 8 piano a while ago so am pretty confident to add mental synth parts to the music live as well :D

Also the Drum and Bass mix is pretty tight.

(oh and, I gave a design a shot on macromedia flash but it didn't turn out very good. I'll post it so you can have a look. If you like it, I could spend more time on it, to make it look better.) [editline]24th May 2011[/editline] here it is, in all its noobish glory. [IMG]http://imageflock.com/img/1306287064.png[/IMG] If I were to improve, (if you like the feel of it) I could add more effects, more detail, just in general make it more of a design and not just a sketch.) [fix'd]
Ill give it a shot, im not good at characters, so ill go with more of a "Woa thats awesome" thingy. Working with 3D in cinema 4d, if you want, i can send you some stuff that i have done Might also be able to make an animated loop for you for the youtube videos.
also, you might want to ask around in the MS paint section, some of those guys are beast. I recommend Tomtyke, he rocks with macromedia flash drawings. I'll post an example after I ask him if it's OK.

here's one of my favorite tomtyke pieces, I think it would be awesome with your second song - [url]http://soundcloud.com/rhodesandel/dark-dnb-mix[/url] [IMG]http://imageflock.com/img/1306371219.png[/IMG]

lol, I wonder if this guy's been checking his thread or if he'll come back and be like, woah. 7 new posts. [editline]25th May 2011[/editline] well, 8 now. [editline]25th May 2011[/editline] 9? [editline]25th May 2011[/editline] no, I don't think automerge counts
aha sorry about taking a while to respond, busy week just got all your messages, if any of you want download links I can upload them to a new soundcloud and link you (with dl links) Loving the basic idea of it tomkyte, looking good so far I'm hardly ever on this so if any of you want to contact me, it's probably easier to add my facebook Louis Limon -- my profile pic is the one of people in suits, thanks a lot :)
[QUOTE=LouisLimon;30060516]if any of you want download links I can upload them to a new soundcloud and link you (with dl links) [/QUOTE] I do.
Okay made all the links on the soundcloud.com/ascii11 page downloadable (other than the 2 hour challenge) :)
Yay!
