That above photo was used in the album  "Embossed Dream in Four Acts" by a band called Odes of Ecstacy..not sure how  they sound.

Here's another one to add to the Ivanhoe/ Evergrey cover list... Dark Sky.  Saw this at the store the other day and realised it was the same person found on both of those covers.

Just Remembered this one.



Couldn't find a higher Res.....Eternity X themselves list it but most other sites don't show this cover.



This one came after.

Reminds me of the Dead Soul Tribe's Dead Word cover

I can see where you're going with that Q^10, but I wouldn't say that it is recurring artwork though... kinda a cross between that and strange land though.

Would it be the Wingdom cd cover?

This guy used his same self-picture on two of his albums - four years apart!

here's another one... this is just SAD:

Jeez! The Ivanhoe cover looks the most like a photo so I'm thinking she's a real person. I hope she got paid.

Let this be a lesson, when you do art for your cd make sure you are getting exclusive rights, even if you're getting stock images. Most places that sell stock photos give you the option of taking them off the market. Somebody should do a PSA for prog artists.

No kidding Sean!!!!!

My Lord! I manipulated a persons Art for a Cover I did for my own Compilation, and I wont
even give it away till I contact the original Artist as mere "respect".
. . . that would be weird to see my Art somewhere without permission

I was browsing Progarchives and noticed this one.

A classic picture of Queen from the early 70s:



This is.... some band from 1996:



It also seems like they ripped of this classic as well...
