lovin the I am Legend! Anyone ever find a Lola cover, custom or standard? All I have is the disc.

Regarding your questions:

Thanks for the compliments, all my covers can only be found on www.9covers.com. I'll be adding my user profile link to my signature here at AVS.

Great.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work in the coming weeks. Can't wait. ;)

Alex, Could you give ma a few links to sites?

Thanks HighdefJoe, I really appreciate the comments.

Regarding your questions:

No, I won't be using any stills on the backcover. First because I don't like 'em at all, second because it would leave me little to no space for the complete description of technical and special features on more feature packed titles. And since I like to keep the consistency, that would rule out stills for the more bare bones releases. (check the message I put about 3 pages back as I go in lenghs to describe the level of detail I like to include on the features description). I'm almost obsessive compulsive with this things :D

For the images, kylumi (hi there m8 ;)) is about right. I subscribe to 5 major coverart sites. I see what you mean about digging them up at the internet, but I've been there myself and really there's no chance you can find anything close to what we see on private coverart sites. Specially for old movies and such.

You can even find some hi-res imagens (from wallpapers and such) and try to compose your own designs like many folks do. But it sill won't come close to the huge hi-res images we have access to. Furthermore, when looking specifically for original theatrical posters, like I do, things get even harder outside these restricted communities. That still doesn't make things all that easy as most times you have to recreate title treatments, match fonts, effects and such.

With the exception of The Fifth Element, for all the titles I've worked covers so far, at least one version is presented with an exact recreation of the original poster art (frammed given the constraint dimensions of the BD cover) with pristine quality.





Thanks wormraper ;). That's was a slip I missed first time around and had just about fixed when I saw your message. I appreciate the tip ;)

The previews are fixed now. Since I hate banners, I did the same as on the Ghost Rider and TRK covers: a note beside the feature running time.





LOL, nice catch there ;)

Though I have presented one Magnolia preview. I'm working my way through my whole collection on a studio base. Sony is the spotline now, but I have a few BV done in the old sytle (such as Pearl Harbor, Enemy Of The State, King Arthur, Face/Off) that I'll be adapting soon.





Thanks for the compliments, all my covers can only be found on www.9covers.com. I'll be adding my user profile link to my signature here at AVS.

But you can find a few covers in the old style available at Evengelo's site. He's a great guy and a great site, but I gave up submitting my work as I got really pissed after the exact same coves I posted there started showing up on some of these private coverart sites.

Not happy with getting free access to the covers, some "free riders" felt in the mood to get easy credits with the pristine quality of the full res covers.

here's my first ever cover...as you can tell...I may want to change something if someone gives suggestions. i didnt find the upc anywhere and I don't care for credits or upc really, so feel free to download this and add if you want. I copied the description from netflix. Anyone have suggestions/comments? thanks!

i am completely not a fan of the barebones backs on these covers...

Thanks Rieper,

here's a few moreIs there some difference that I'm missing between covers 2 and 3 for BHD or covers 1 and 2 for Patriot?

BTW, great covers. Do you have to release them at 9covers, or would you be able to post them at places like ReplaceTheCase (formerly Dagon's Den) and others?
i am completely not a fan of the barebones backs on these covers...I dunno. Back covers are usually the least of my concerns with replacement artwork. As long as they've got the relevant data, I'm good. If I had any complaint, it's that it looks a little bare, like Alex could use some artwork from the film as a faded background.

Is there some difference that I'm missing between covers 2 and 3 for BHD or covers 1 and 2 for Patriot?


Yes - I was wondering that too!

I like your fronts, Alex, but do feel that all the backs look a bit barren. Perhaps upping the font size on the special features might be worth a try, as right now when I see your backs my first thought is "not much on these discs"!

i am completely not a fan of the barebones backs on these covers...


Since you worded it so nicely, I am completely not a fan of anything different than that.

Is there some difference that I'm missing between covers 2 and 3 for BHD or covers 1 and 2 for Patriot?.

Yes - I was wondering that too!.

They are very much alike but there are some slight differences:

Patriot v2 has a smaller title treatment and slightly lower framming

On BHD v3 the only difference is a bigger credit on top of the title treatment (once you know what to look for, it can easily be seen in the previews).

Thanks for the comments, but I don't intend to do anything different. I hate head shots on the spine, stills on the back and such. All that I like is the poster art on the front cover (and slight variations of that), a clean matching set of spines and informative, easily readable backcovers. And on that regard, I can say with total assurance that no set of covers (retail or custom) does such lenghy and detailed description of extras and technical features.

I've been a member of coverart communities for the past 6 years, including the very first coverart site on the internet: the dvdcoverat.com (I was an upload admin there) and have seen literally thousands of customs over the years. That said, I must have a very particular taste as no more than a few (and I mean really few) have pleased me at all.




BTW, if anybody is interested in some of the covers I have previewed here, I'm willing to share them in exchange for some help collecting info for future covers

First thank you very much for putting this together. This is great info for those who are in need for replacement covers. I recently purchased some BR without the art cover ( I know) question although this are great covers but don't want to waste a lot of ink if I do it in my own printer. Now here is my real question. Did someone copy this to a cd-r disc and bring it to kinkos and have them print it and pay a minimal fee. I would need to have about 6 art covers that would I think empty my ink cartridge if I print in with my own printer so to save money I am thinking of copying the cover art I need to a cd-r or diskette and bring it to kinkos is this possible? did someone actually done this before.

Thanks,
Peter

I thought this was a very good cover designed by shaunofthedead......what do you guys think?

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3411/bluraycopyva2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Definitely blows the official cover away. Nice and clean.

Yes thats what I think too m8:cool:

Thanks for the love k-man!

i like just one thing... that fbi anti piracy logo is too colorful... maybe make it match the other text and logos and it will be perfect

I know a lot of those places state that they will not make copies of copyrighted work... so it would depend on who you get at the counter and how well you can explain to them where these are from and what they are for. Worse case scenario is they say no...

I know I have been able to print many covers on my own printer. Luckily some newer printers seem to use less ink. But I guess it all depends on how much ink will cost you in your printer... refills for myself aren't that expensive.
Give kinkos a shot... or perhaps another 'hole-in-the-wall' type copy place that probably wouldn't care what you print.

Awesome work dude. :)
If I print out the custom cover art as-it-is will it fit inside the Amaray Blu-ray case ? Please advice.

just print out the cover as is and make sure whatever you print with doesn't crop or resize. It'll fit fine in a blu ray amaray case. I've got it printed out and it looks fantastic. Just make sure you use good photo paper. I highly recommend the Costco Premium photo paper (kirkland brand). I printed the cover on a pos color HP printer that's in my apartment's office and the cover looks stunning with the good paper. the premium Epson and HP glossy paper works well too but much more expensive than the kirkland stuff (only $17.99 for 150 sheets).

Thanks a lot wormraper. I will try the same and post my feedback.

I like to subscribe as well. Can you recommend me some of those sites and provide a link? I absolutely love high res movie art and like to make some more designs without having to stroll down the internet.

Does anyone know where I can get any cover art for WAR ?

and Underworld Evolution????

or you could email them to msedward44@gmail.com

I would be eternally grateful. Those are amazing!!

Kylumi san => I bow to you for your excellent and creative cover arts. Please teach the Studios. IMHO they should immediately hire you.

I think this thread should be STICKIED as it projects dedication, enthusiasm and the craftsmanship of the cover art designers.

Wow, these are really great. Is there a place you would be willing to post these that more of us could download from? I am particularly interested in the X-men 3 cover.

Thanx for your super comments guys..........I am resident artist to a single site nowadays so I cannot upload my stuff anywhere other than there:(

I like to posted these previews here though because I have noticed that there are quite a few guys here taking off in the designing department my covers are just a complete alternative to what is available at retail at maybe give a little inspiration to others if the need it;)

Oh Kylumi I remember those covers. That Casino Royale was the first custom cover I printed and used. :)

Well David Susilo m8, they are on euphoricfx.org if you want them;)

Are there different color Blu-ray cases available? If so, where?

Thay hellboy cover is sick with that smoke case. awesome.

Kylumi, those covers really are great, and unique. I was wondering how they print out, with all the gradients and such. And where do you get the colored case? :p

wow, really great covers Kylumi. Is there any way u can send me the full size images of Alien vs Predator? my email is vegeta21x2@gmail.com. thanks.

lol............sorry to disappoint guys...........the case colours are just an Imandix illusion:D


as for printing ............... depending on your printer these templates should print out just how you see them:cool:

Well David Susilo m8, they are on euphoricfx.org if you want them;)


Now I've signed up, activated the account, but when I try to get in, it tells me that I've typed the wrog username and/or password. :(

i totally dig the animated style of the Hellboy cover...gotta get me that...hell 9/10ths of the covers you've posted so far are bad ass

Does anyone have a Appleseed Ex Machina Scanned Cover?
Please PM if you do.
Thanks.:)

Any over art for Live Free or Die Hard that would say "Die Hard : Live Free or Die Hard". It just looks weird to have Die Hard 1,2,3 and then an L titles movie next to them.

I really like those Casino Royale and Hellboy covers.
I've got Waterworld, Apollo 13, Knocked Up, and a matching set for the Mission Impossible series for when Paramount and Universal start printing BDs. Would just have to change the HDDVD to a BD logo.

Hey Shaun how you doing buddy........thanx for your comment buddy:)

This is my version for the Blu-Ray "Spidey" collection.

I made the front as a poster image from several other Hi-Rez images and was very pleased with the way it turned out.

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7059/1aap0.png (http://imageshack.us)

Is there a way you could do the Spiderman covers split up (one for each). This looks amazing and I would be real interested in using them. Also, I PM'd you about the Hellboy one - Incredible!

Kylumi, the CR cover printed fantastic. A buddy of mine was over and was like "omg that is the deal." lol

I've been a member of coverart communities for the past 6 years, including the very first coverart site on the internet: the dvdcoverat.com (I was an upload admin there) and have seen literally thousands of customs over the years. That said, I must have a very particular taste as no more than a few (and I mean really few) have pleased me at all.


Dude, I just want to say, you make nice covers and all but, like the rest of us, you're not a pro. This comment of yours comes off a bit smartassy. We're all learning as we go on this HOBBY we have, but we do not bash each other or tell each other that their work doesn't please us. We're not critics. Just calm it down a bit man. Constructive criticism my friend......

HighdefJoe,

you took that comment a little out of context, I was not trying to be a 'smartass', I was replying/elaborating to the poster who commented on the lack of art on the backcover. And that's it, what I like is plain back covers with specs only and I do understand I'm on the minority on this one.

On the other hand, I can understand really well and appreciate the skills behind work like Kylumi's. We've know each other for a while. But also in that regard, for my collection, I have a very particular taste, I only like original poster art for my discs. And if the studio doesn't provide that, then I'll do it for myself because custom coverartists don't usually strive for that either.

So I understand that for most people, custom cover art is all about that: complete custom jobs. I never said nor implied there was a problem with that, but only that it's not what I like (and I believe I said that numerous times on this thread, there a posts of mine that date back to beginning of the thread). Sorry if you felt that way, it was not the intention. But I don't think I sounded like a smartass if I was admiting I'm the awkward one here.

Well said Alex. :) I tend to get a bit jumpy when I read certain comments about others work. Not long ago, a member made some seriously negative comments about someones covers and I got rather upset over it. There was a mess of insults fired back and forth between several members, including myself. It got ugly.....

We all make covers for our personal tastes, as you mentioned, and we share them with anyone that takes interest. Of course, not everyone will like the work displayed and that's fine. Different strokes right?

Thank you for your reply. It's much appreciated :D

Are there different color Blu-ray cases available? If so, where?

Thats what I would like to know ;) some of those covers are just teases without the matching case. I haven't seen different color ones, but that would be something for manufactures to think about.

Thanks much to McNulty for the Almost Famous cover. I made a few tweaks to it because I wanted to combine my original set and the Blu-ray (to have the special features and whatnot). I just got the Die Hard collection case and stuck it in there. I added the special features and stuff to the back of McNulty's cover too, and made the spine a bit wider.

@ HighdefJoe & AlexBC.........good debate guys, I understand completely where Alex is coming from regarding his own personal like and dislikes and I also understand HighdefJoe's point of this being a hobby and such.
To be honest I am surprised that so many of you guys have given me such great feedback on my stuff. I understand that most of you here in the forum are pretty "techy" on Blu-Ray stuff and I would have expected the feedback to be much less favourable.
Going back to what HighdefJoe was saying about "We all make covers for our personal tastes" this statement sums up why "designers" become "designers". Its to vent their artistic abillities in a way which pleases them and them alone.
I can look at a some covers at tell you right off who made them just from the style used. Even the retail look-a-likes have a distinctive style to them.
Critique should never be made against a finished cover. The whole idea of WIP forums on cover sites is that individual members can voice their criticism at a time which is appropiate enough so that the artist in question can take on board that critique and make the necessary changes if he desires.
It does not make a jot of difference on how accomplished a cover designer is he will never please everyone..........just as well really because where would that leave the rest of us designers?
:cool:

Terrific work guys. Shows your enthusiasm and dedication. Keep it up.
Though we cannot suspect the Cover Art Designers the Studio hire, the supervisors and the management should bury their heads deep into the sand for not being able to give us these kind of ORGA&MIC cover arts.

can som1 scan the shining cover for me? i guess i just need the original. i bought the disc without covers.

Yayyyy!!! finally done. Got the UPC so now the cover is done

Does anyone have a scanned copy of the 1st Ghost in the Shell cover on Blu-ray?(Not Innocence) It came w/a DVD size case & I'm trying to find a scanned image somewhere so I can resize & put it in a Blu-ray size case. Even a modified cover would be great, I just can't bring myself to resize a DVD cover & use that. I went to Staples to have them scan the cover for me & put it on a floppy & the image was corrupted :(

Thanks for you reply HidefJoe,

I'm glad you understand my point and we got it straight now ;)

What photo paper are you using? I noticed you had art on both sides, including the inside of the blu-ray case.

How did you do it?

BDs all have the double-sided covers. There are a few HDDVDs that do too. It's definitely a feature I really like about the Blus.

I am using Premium HP Photo Paper (Soft Gloss.) 50 cents a page but WOW does it look great! Grabbed it at my local Staples.

I use the Premium glossy photo paper from Costco (their kirkland brand). Absolutely amazing results. I can print off some pos non-photo color printer and still get absolutely great results. This paper is the shiznit.

Hey gang. Here are some titles that would be GREAT to have custom covers for.


Kingdom of Heaven - Ive been waiting for a good cover for this one forever!
Close Encounters - A normal sized cover for a standard case would be great
Gattaca - I know its new but the stock cover is bleh!
The Fly - Again, the stock one is boring!!


I would say that KOH is the most important. Thanks in advance to all of the artists here!!!! :D

Can some one scan the cover art for "We are Marshal"? I guess I just bought it... I canceled my Blockbuster account and forgot to send it back... They just charged me for it! Oh well. Any help would be great!

Worm, that Illusionist cover is slick. But what if you moved the title up a tad so the white text would use the black background a bit more. I do really like it.

Is that iRobot cover James Bond inspired?:cool:

For a kingdom of heaven cover I thought it would be cool if it was just a Knights Templar flag. Or if it hat blood slpashed across the flag that would look nice too. I Think the Templar Cross by itself, V for Vendetta, style would look tough too. Just a few ideas, since there's not really any good art for it.

thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I tried to bring up the white text but it seemed to bring too much attention to Edward Norton's crotch :D, so I moved it down after some suggestions on that one.

The I, Robot one does have a teensy bit of bond flair to it, but I choose it cuz I really liked the art work and the one for the retail Blu ray sucked donkey nuts. (IMO of course)

Does Kingdom of Heaven even have Dolby Digital? I think it's just DTS-HD MA, with subtitles for the other languages.

These are the best looking Saw Covers I've seen.

Very good work, congratulations ;)

It would be nice to use them for the Sony papanse Saw 4-pack which has all filmes (except for part 4) with better quality than the US versions.

They made a compact and attractive book package! Does anyone really want to replace this with a boring old blu-case?

Actually, I already know the answer. Oh well!

I do, because it is taller than a standard case, and my storage towers won't have room. I've adjusted the shelves so there is just enough room to fit the HDM cases in them.

These book releases have me seriously considering creating and printing out custom covers after years of just looking online at what others have done. Does anyone know of any good guides for beginners?

europe will have the same art, but on a regular BD case. if you want, get it from there.

plus fro what i read the book case is a bit fragile

No, but if this case is too tall, it may not fit on the shelves. The top shelf is especially tight, with just enough room above the top of the case. It's probably going to go on that shelf, since it starts with a B and I don't have enough A titles to push it down to a lower shelf.

I haven't actually seen this in person, so I don't even know if it will fit or not. If it's really only a quarter of an inch taller, it may just fit.

Here is my custom version for "I am Legend":)

Wow, that is an excellent cover kylumi! I'm amazed at the amount of covers you finish and how good they look. Keep up the fabulous work.

Having said that, I'd really hate to ask..., but any chance of acquiring some of your previous covers? Professionally done covers seem like the last missing piece of my HD collection.

Just to let folks know I'm working on custom cover for AVP Requiem and maybe a matching style cover for AVP the original in lieu of the 2 pack coming out (I despise that Stupid digital copy bar at the top of the releases)

Sounds Great... I'm with you on the manufacturer design.

is there a spot that has like a "how to" on making Blu covers? I have Photoshop CS2 so any help would be cool, thanks.

Another terrific job Alex.

No offense Alex, but why do you make so many of the same covers with minor differences (title size, etc)? Considering this is your artwork and you aren't really doing it to satisfy others, wouldn't it be truer to your vision to just do 1 exactly how you want it? Diluting it with minimally changed options seems pointless to me I guess, so I'm wondering what your reasoning is.

Why is it pointless to you if you're the one who has the choice in which one to use? It's useful to me and I'm glad I have the choice. It could be pointless to AlexBC but I doubt it is since he takes the time to do the work on it. You said it's his vision...why should his vision be limited to one style? Maybe he has multiple visions :eek: Shouldn't that be his perogative?

It does. I like how open it all feels though.

Thanks lgans316, BTW you have PM ;)


No offense taken Averhoeven, but while I do make them for myself, like bplewis24 pointed out, my vision is not limited to one style. I like doing these multiple versions and the differences are not so minor in my opinion. They are all of use to me.

First, because I love original movie poster art, so I like having as many as I can.

Second, because the best use I have for them is not even printing. Since the resolution is really high (much higher than full HD), I'm creating a digital/virtual index of my collection for the PS3. By creating a folder and storing the covers by movie name, I automatically created a cool and sophisticated way to present my collection. This is specially good for those of us with large collections and/or who don't like other people messing around on our library of titles.

This way, for example, if you have guests, you can present the collection on screen for them to choose a movie, and looking at a much finer and cleaner artwork than a retail cover. In the way I do customs, it's also a very easy reference for extra features or if you're browsing for previews (like I usually do) or something else. The images look like real frammed posters on the big Full HD flat pannels. It's beautiful!

And by having multiple versions, its a way to offer different perspectives on a movie. I also love browsing through this images from time to time on my system.


BTW, as I mentioned a few pages back, for anyone interested, I can provide access to the covers. All I ask is a little help in return, gathering information I need for the backcovers. Like bplewis24 is kindly doing.

Fair enough. I was just curious since, as someone who's made a couple of covers (by no means on par with what you've made, but I'm happy with them), that seemed a different approach than me. I simply fiddle, fiddle, fiddle until it's where I like it. At that point, no other spot works for me. I guess it's just a different frame of mind.

Well, here is version one of my Kingdom of heaven cover. I'm creating 2 versions with small variations on the back. This one was my personal favorite and one that I like the best. The other will be posted once I polish up the back a bit.

Is there a reason you went with a Blue "N" on the Spine versus the rest is in white?

Probably not to blend with the background image

exactly, It was supposed to be when there is a blue background use white text and on a black or white background use the blue.

Great job wormwraper.:eek::cool:

Perhaps I could suggest you one version with a smaler TT on the spine (so if fits within the image) using plain white text with drop shadow effect. It should stand out better in this way. ;)

hey wormraper buddy..........you just need to remove the hyphenation:cool:

Doesn't look like it would blend in any different then the rest of the letters. Considering the majority of the N is on black background.

Still a nice cover.

Doesn't look like it would blend in any different then the rest of the letters. Considering the majority of the N is on black background.

Actaully, the line of the argument is why isn't the rest of the text in Blue, like in the front cover. Wormraper has already manifested that it was the reason.

But I agree, it could all have been white.

All righty, due to the N looking a little weird I re did the lettering on the spine and re uploaded it. Enjoy.

that is so HOT !!!!

i played around a bit and discovered that HD DVD and the Blu-Ray case have the same sizes. i put some printouts from the HD DVD in Blu-Ray case, are they really the same or not really?

they are exactly the same.

Im sure many of you have been to the site, but here is a link for a great collection of covers. http://www.cdcovers.cc/

They have tons of blu-ray, HD DVD, SD DVD covers all free to download. You might have to resize a little bit but for the most part its pretty much easy-going! Some of the covers and/or variations I see on this site are also on pay sites. Hey, Im not trying to be a d!ck about it but paying for covers IMO is pretty lame when a majority of people are sharing them like any other forum reply/information.

Apologies to those that are charging and feel the need to, but it is kind of "dicey", IMO.

cdcovers.cc quality tend to be worse than $#!+. There are some gems but there are too many that are just not even worth the few seconds I wasted to preview.

lovin the happy jesus! anyone tried a cover for juno yet?

awesome cover. I hated the retail one. Nice job highdefjoe.

+1, kicka$$ cover joe, you did it again.

There are plenty of cool cover arts and designers out here and it's a shame that the Studios are still offering cheap and ugly looking cover arts. Is this because to cut cost or is it due to their lackluster attitude ?

The "There Will be Blood" DVD has the name of the guy who came up with the packaging idea and menu design.

Both are god awful. It takes balls to put your name on something fans will hate. Uwe Boll has a relative that works on covers.:mad:
I wish more movies had things like this so you know who to hate. That way I can bash them on the internet.

BTW- nice chipmunk art. But can you get Theodore on the drums for the back cover(probably behind the spec part)? It's the best chipmunk image.

And try the text with a black border? Just a suggestion, if it doesn't work it doesn't work. Nice cover though, super slick.

cdcovers.cc quality tend to be worse than $#!+. There are some gems but there are too many that are just not even worth the few seconds I wasted to preview.

I thought the one for A Christmas Story was funny - it has the banner that Fox uses, with Master Audio on it.

cdcovers.cc quality tend to be worse than $#!+. There are some gems but there are too many that are just not even worth the few seconds I wasted to preview.

I agree that there are some shaky ones.... but I pulled down about 25-30 of them yesterday and with a few resize tweaks most of them looked just as good as from any other site. I did have to resample them to 300 dpi but Irfanview does a very good job with that. Once I printed them on my 2400dpi dye-sub printer(Yes, Kodak STILL has fringe benefits ;) ) they looked great.

Oh well, no biggy.

I guess it's just the ones I happen to choose then. Admittedly, they used to be VERY good way back when they were CD covers only (also when they just moved to DVD).

I agree that there are some shaky ones.... but I pulled down about 25-30 of them yesterday and with a few resize tweaks most of them looked just as good as from any other site. I did have to resample them to 300 dpi but Irfanview does a very good job with that. Once I printed them on my 2400dpi dye-sub printer(Yes, Kodak STILL has fringe benefits ;) ) they looked great.

Oh well, no biggy.


Just curious as I've just recently started printing custom covers. As I'm at work at the moment and can't recall the exact sizes of each the custom covers that I've printed. But the ones I've printed all have come up somewhat short in the width area by about 1/ 2 to 3/4 inch. Especially Serenity. The one with all the characters on the cover and the girl with the sword came up way short in the width by about 2 inches. All of my cases, both Blu and HD are factory originals.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT I meant to say, the custom covers are short in the width area compaired to the original covers. Also, as mentioned by several others, I do tape another piece of photo paper to the one being printed. But still have extra room ( maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches ) on the paper for width for printing...so I'm not running out of room. Make sense ?

You will find that the printing size is template dependant........there must be at least 3 differing template size variations around and about...........The size templates I use for my designs were based around Imandix so I know that they all work OK for everyone:cool:

Anybody want to take a crack at a Dewey Cox custom? The artwork on the BD is awful. I think this would look awesome as the front image.

Kylumi, just my 2 cents, the cover will work better without the pics of Milla.

I think if you just put the umbrella logo and Resident Evil (for the front cover) it'll work better. No actress name, none of her pic on the front cover. I'm into the minimalist thing.

I don't disagree with you David........everyone has their own ideas....Me, I tend to stuff as much in as I can....:D

I like first RE cover. Hopefully you are able to post it here for us to download.

Hey guys I'm looking for the cover art for the first and second Saw in Bluray.
I found the third and fourth but I can't find anything about the first two.
I would like the white cover please.

Thanks
Gui.

Looks like a japanese horror flick. What image is that little girl from on the front? It looks so familiar.

ROFL:D

the cover is based on the comics...............which just happen to use Japanese artists....only they don't draw as good as me!!!

why does the little girl look like you pulled her from the FEAR box art

wow, that's 100% identical

why does the little girl look like you pulled her from the FEAR box art

I guess thats because where she came from..........cool though isn't she....well she would be if she never had all that crap written over her:D

I will have to check my portfolio on this one............looks like a copyright breach to me;):cool::eek:

Can anyone tell me if Scarface is ready for Blu-Ray release......I don't seem to be able to find anything on that title:confused:

THANK YOU!! That was driving me mad...Ha.

:D............It has not been uploaded anywhere yet metalsaber........I was doing a commission request for the 3 movies.........but, it looks as though there is a dispute over that front image.
I will need to get back to you on this one, after I have spoken to the guy who requested them:cool:

I am so very, very running behind. Here are links to hi-res versions of my Saw covers --

does anyone have any Deja Vu covers? i'm waiting on this movie to come in and i would like a custom cover for it.

I cleaned up the Gone Baby Gone artwork a bit. I wasn't a big fan of the standard Disney back. Just doing a couple minor adjustments... should be done in a day or two.

http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1266/gbg1212ce7.jpg

can't wait for this one to finish...gotta have it.

Great cover Joe,

Here's a WIP from me. The credits are placeholder, but i'll finish it up once the disc comes out.

...and this one!

Love your Saw covers, TDS.

Oh yeah, Kind of forgot about my Gone Baby Gone cover... I will see if I can get er done....

The problem is the front cover isn't exactly a true black so when printed it doesn't look like it does on my monitor... I need to try and find a better image where the black is really black...

If you are using Photoshop all you need to do is adjust your black levels....this will give you infinite control over the opacity level you desire:)

Very nice Cover Worm. The only smallish thing about it is that the new style Aliens no longer have the smooth heads like the one on the back cover. They're all like the ones from the ALIENS movie, like the front poster. No big deal tho. It still looks awesome!
I won't be finishing the one I started for AVPR only because the movie has the new Fox format(Spec box, framing, and the new "The Future is Blu" logo). I'm going to ask a buddy of mine at dvdcoversfuzion to cook up the new template for me. If you'd like it, I'll send it to you once I get it.

sweet. that would be appreciated. I almost delayed my cover because of that but decided against it being that I wanted AVP-R to match my AVP cover as well which uses the "old" style.

...and this one!

Ahh yes. I finished this awhile ago. PM me and I'll send it to ya.

Here's one from me, though it's not the finished version. I'm unable to upload the final due to massive computer problems! Still, this is close to done. It needs font color correction here and there and another spine image.
Wow, I just noticed a few typos in the special features and the synopsis!! Man I hate my computer!

Nice, but what does it look like with the cover artwork switched?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you asking how it looks inside a blu ray case?

I think he means moving the image on the back to the front.

I like that Predator cover because it retains that mystery of what the predator looks like. When the film came out, nobody knew (unless it was in trailers or something). Of course now we know, but I still like that a cover of at least the first film would refrain from showing the predator.

Any chance of somebody making a cover like the one below for the Diane Lane thriller "UNTRACEABLE". The Sony cover is nowhere near as good as the one below.

any good covers for Dan in Real Life and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story?

I'd love a decent cover for "UNTRACEABLE"...

Anyone up to the challenge ? :confused:

Not as good as the cover they are actually gonna use I think.

^^different strokes, different folks. i personally hate the new one they're using.

Looking good so far except the "SHOOT EM UP" stuff on the back cover.

What site did you grab that front from? Looks like someone took the front from my custom DVD cover and uploaded it somewhere as a poster (without giving me credit, I'm sure... :()

I'd advise against spanning it on to the spine... the front will just look silly with half a Sutherland ear and shoulder poking out. If all you're going to do is copy and paste my design into a New Line template, why not just make it a direct conversion, keep the front as it should be, and make the spine black?

Where's yours? :rolleyes:
