Hey guys!

I used the inside image of The Dragonborn Comes album artwork (by Ilya Salnikov) to make a new cover. Can you help me pick which you like best? The dragon version or the closer bard version?

I recently uploaded the entire remastered Dragonborn Comes album (looped 4 times) on YouTube. There have been some comments asking if I will be releasing it.

I'm not sure if I'll upload to digital platforms. I feel the difference (although I love the album being better balanced by a mastering engineer) is not enough to justify a whole new release of the exact same tracklist/album.

I feel it would split streaming numbers between track versions, and I need to see if this would end up doing more harm than good. I'm asking around.

I will be uploading it to Bandcamp in the meantime. But I need a new cover. So, which do you prefer? Dragon or bard only?

Thanks for your help!

Love,Malu

The dragon one would be cool, but it’s not easy to see the actual dragon. So I gotta go with Malu-Bard! Both look awesome!!

Yay for Bandcamp release!

Narangren

Honestly it will look really good either way, but I think that background art is beautiful and would love to see the full thing.

Christer Lind

I chosed with dragon because I just love Dragons.

Andreas Veide

Feels like the first with the dragon as more of a story to tell so I would go with that one. Both are great though so it'a a hard pick.

Ais

I agree, the dragon also fits better with the title.

I do like the additional details for teh Malu+Dragon one ... with the sword, the cloak twisted in the wind, the snowy mountains .. granted it took me a moment to see that dragon (Dragon? what Dra ... aaaah that Dragon :D).

Andrés González

Thanks for let us participate in the selection! I love both, I chose Malu+Dragon. Looking forward to Bandcamp release!

Letodan

Hmmmm... hard choice. They are both awesome but, I think I prefer the closer version a little bit more because the focus is more on you, the bard :).

Michael Bowles

I honestly can’t tell it’s a dragon and was looking for it, but I like the dragon version better because of the whole scene.. it just looks better to me, but I do like both, so would get it either way! 🤗❤️

Looks really good both ways, but yeah the dragon one also adds nice background for the epic bard

Tomas Almlöf

Both are really good, but I like the one with the dragon the most. Also if you choose the other I think the bottom right corner of the image needs some fixing. It sid not look good with that part of the sword handle in the corner I think. :)

I marginally like the dragon one better (leaving in more of the light blue of the sky is a good way to balance out the grays and dark colors of the rest of the scene, and I also like both the dragon and the sword). But the closer edit would still work fine because it's a nice portrait either way. Your call.

Scott McAree

I like the one with the Dragon more. :)

While I love the closeup, the dragon has a lot more movement. I boated for the dragon!

Malu-Bard ftw! More focus on the bard and leaving what lies beyond open to imagination. Dragon version has a lot of open space in the background, pulling the eye away from the bard, imho.
