Because there is going to be a forum implemented in the website, I don't want to bother merging it. I'll quickly get a temporary forum up for the website, and we can discuss there.

Get what I mean?

oh.

I was already done with mine but I guess we'll have to wait for yours. How long do we wait?

Well. I can get the forum up by tomorrow. But the website will take longer.

Okay, waiting 'till tomorrow isn't bad 

I'm relearning Lazy Sunday Jam and Gone, hopefully I can record them today.

EDIT: Random idea. Maybe I could add some orchestral arrangements on the last chorus of Gone. Not sure if it'd sound good, but I think it might work if done well, and if I keep it subtle.

Another idea, I think the song overall would sound better if all the "bass solo" parts were played by Lellowsfuzz on the piano instead. I'm not much of a bass soloist    I'll rearrange the song now.

You don't want realism?! Well, why didn't you say so?

There's a couple of different approaches I can take. I can do some toon shading and such, or I can change it in post-processing. I'll experiment.

(By the way, the ice cubes have been added. They look pretty good.  )

So... that took about two minutes to fix up, but I figure I shouldn't invest a ton of time into it until I know what style you're going for.

The penguin will be ready later. 

Also, what default color scheme should I use for the forum?
Blue, Green, or Red?

That looks decent considering it's a quick fix.    I would say maybe add a little less of the effect, I can't really make out some stuff on the pic. But that might be not necessary, considering we need to crop it later.

3. Could I get a pure 3D render of just the penguin? I think that could be a good logo for Frozen Coco.

Well the penguin's kind of our mascot already, so that would be great.

*agrees*

To be honest, I liked the reallooking one better.

Wasn't DIY's original supposed to be realistic as well?

I'm technically in the band and I don't have anything FC related either. 

Technoguyx, could you perhaps add a violin part to Gone? Gone sounds like a sad song, which would fit with a nice violin background.

Hey guys, I think we should start on Lazy Sunday Jam. Now that I think about it, I don't really like the piano part I made for it. Could someone else maybe make one?

I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Okay, good.
Also, doesn't LSJ count as an instrumental?

Like I mentioned, I intend to experiment with some orchestral arrangements (done with VSTs) on Gone - perhaps you could play a "solo violin" part?

Though I haven't checked Lellowsfuzz's song out yet, I kinda agree with designer45 - 2 instrumentals should be enough.

Ah. Perhaps. I've added 1 violin line(I could mix multiple if needed.)
Here's the same with my added violin instrument: http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/a … ec17f308bc

Seems like I don't have permission to view the score 

@Lellowsfuzz, there are some nice parts on Clockwork, but the 16th note runs on the bass might be too hard for me, and some of the drum beats too hard for jslomba. I'd rather just continue composing the other instrumental, Fall.

I didn't mean for it to be played by the band, I just wanted you guys to see it.

Oh I see. 

I added piano and violin to Gone, how's it? The violin is in the last 2 choruses, subtle and simple on the first one, and then gets a bit more complex on the last one.

Thanks for the criticism locker! I value your opinion. The text isn't included yet because I wanted to finalize the image before incorporating it, but all the same it's good to know that it is important. I did, of course, add the depth of field (background blur) on purpose, to add emphasis to the elements on the coffee table. Do you think it distracts? Let me know. 

Yeah tbh, it does kinda distract the viewer. It'll be nice if you could adjust it, and like techno said, the 3d rendered background doesn't quite suit an album cover. Keep trying on these aspects and I'm sure it will turn out well!
