Wow. It never even occurred to me that the Caress of Steel artwork was bronze mistakenly. (And steel is in the flippin' title!) Very interesting and I like your take on it!
Here's one more with the more traditional greenish canvas as the background (cleaned up the edges a bit) for those who didn't like the blue steel colorization of the OP: http://imgur.com/a/7Ylk4
Definitely feeling this one a bit more. Maybe because a touch more "vintage" looking.
I agree. That's why I made it my default cover for the album :)
One final edit to the second image (removed a little bit of bronze that was in there): http://imgur.com/a/4Gy56
A more digital, clean silver look: http://i.imgur.com/lbhSSF4.jpg
It was much easier to work with a digital source rather than an analogue scan (much more noise to account for with the latter).
I was listening to the album and realized how the botched color mixing job that left behind a
copperbronze finish bothered me, so here's a quick photoshop of the cover.Needs more bronze. /s
Caress of Bronze doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Maybe Caress of Copper, although the acronym may be problematic.
Caress of... Vaguely Metallic Dark Tan Colour? Maybe they should have just made it shocking pink like the first album cover.
