[celinesounds]

How's this for the flame?? Hope you don't mind me making a little change Thomas!

I like the idea of the orange on the cover

[Thomas]

I think it's perhaps too bright for the overall tone of the image but interesting to see it with more colour!

[PaulQ]

Yes i am! Hope you like these too :-)

 

 

I do, they look quite real.

and this is my other idea, a bit a New day like, with lot's of hair;-) Edited June 10, 2012 at 09:38 PM by browseceline

I would love for them to do the shoot outside. Was ANDHC in a studio or was it real? I know the clouds and the background are enhanced/pasted in but was that a real life tree on a real life beach? I can't remember! lol

 

It was real as life! LOL the tree thing has always been suspicious to me too (you know, it looks like half the trunk disappears behind her back ), but I cleared my doubts up when I saw the making of the album DVD. It includes some very short scenes of the scenary where the photoshoot took place: it was a place near Céline's house in Florida by that time (some beach @ Palm Beach I think).

 

You can see it here at minute 4:00 and 4:20 Escpecially the photos of Céline with the black dress standing on a rock, that is next to the sea itself

 

And in minute 4:30 you can see a different scenary with what looks like reeds and other plants and trees, that I believe is real too because you can notice there's wind, so I believe this was done maybe at night. And finally in 4:35 you can see one second of the tree in the album cover

It's a shame we don't have more video footage of the making of this photoshoot, as well as more photos The photographer took cents of them!

 

Geez, I want another photoshoot in the beach or nature NOW!!!

[fyoung98]

What about something like celine standing in the middle of the waterfall (like in MHWGO at the end of the Vegas show) and she holds a flame in her hand?(sorry, im not good with photoshop or drawing)

[browseceline]

I think it's perhaps too bright for the overall tone of the image but interesting to see it with more colour!

 

Thomas [i am again impressed! where did you find this picture of a mermaiddress? It works gorgeous!

[A new day...]

Here is the cover I made! The first idea that came to me was using a flame as Celine's dress, so I've decided to use a blue flame that brings a very special atmosphere to the image. I hope you'll like it! And by the way, I'm sure Celine would love this dress!

Well originally it was Charlize Theron, one of the photos from her Vogue shoot. I had to adjust it a bit because Celine has a smaller frame. But I love the dress, I would love it if she wore something similar.

 

Thanks Javito, I knew I had seen that tree before. lol I pray she goes outside for this shoot.

I wand that as the new album cover!

Awesome work!

[superibi]

Yeah she looks great in that cover by Jackie, love the darker hair!

 

Another concept involving water... but a bit more elegant this time? I think I need to do one involving fire next. lol

JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thomas, I love your covers!! The third one is my favorite. Concerning the second one, I'm a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston so I can't imagine Celine's face covering Jennifer!

I have the feeling it ain't gonna be that spectacular. I think something in the line of the Taking Chances Worldtour cover.. but we can always hope;-)

I think from all covers this is the one I prefer because of the breathtaking dress!

the first one definately, because it looks better on her. Nice cover!

[celinesounds]

Other made very quickly

They should hire you to make all her album covers! I think anything her team comes up with will be subpar to this cover. I think you should really consider sending this in as cover concept. It's amazing!

[celinesounds]

i have other idea

What about this one?

[Shon]

Wow! They are all awesome!

 

I thought i'd give it a go, but im still getting used to photoshop so if anyone has any tips that would be cool

 

I used jennifer aniston as i think they look alike and i couldn't find a photo of celine in a red dress sitting down.

I LOVE this one, it is absolutely fantastic!!! Well done!

[Claudette]

I love your last one Thomas. The dress kind of make me think of a mermaid. Those goodies on it look like a kind of sea plant/grass. But it is lovely. It is definitely very Celine.

 

I'm still thinking whether I should do one by hand or give the photoshop a try. Kind of in the mood to draw though, haven't done a Celine drawing in a year.

 

There are some other great covers too. There are many talented people on this forum. It is a shame Celine's team doesn't do an official contest, and actually use the winnner's cover. That would be awesome.

[emi&celine]

Nice! I like the idea of a using a photo of Celine from the back, it wouldn't imediately be obvious who it was so it would be a bit mysterious (apart from her name in giant letters lol).

 

Another idea for a pretty cover:

Let's Talk About Love part II

[A new day...]

Here's a new cover I made very quickly. I used the album cover from Mel C last album "The Sea", I would really love a picture involving water.

[Davey84]

Thomas, did I ever tell you, you're a genius!?!

[ferjaacu]
