I just finished getting caught up in this thread since I'm a newbie here (read the last 150+ pages). I can't believe some of the amazing work you guys have done! I have a couple of questions/requests:

@dv8pdx- Did you ever finish that Judge Dredd custom? (I looked at your gallery & it's that's not the one you were working on here last year, also looked at euphoricfx.org and you don't have it listed)

@DVDmike - The Mad Max custom you did last year did not have a link, did you ever finish it? If so, I would love a copy :D

@Demonology - I found a great Pulp Fiction custom that you did that is not listed at euphoricfx.org either, could you PM it to me?

@BigDumbWookiee - I love that mock up NES cover you did for Scott Pilgrim, where can I download the blu ray cover art?

And last but not least .....@bpmford, I sent you a PM for 1 cover that isn't listed at euphoricfx.org, please let me know if you can help me out (I hope you still allow people to ask you directly for your work :o)

Ok done with my rant, sorry guys :p

This is one of those "cool idea but incredibly hard to implement" designs :p

So, much as I have enjoyed EFX, it's not actually that great for getting any kind of feedback on the WIP sections, I've noticed. I'll try this here.

Imrahil, I'm just curious but do you ever reply to other WIPs other than your own at efx? I only ask because I haven't been around awhile and I made a point to always reply to yours, bpms, and dv8s WIPs. The guys over there sorta maintain the policy that if you respond to other peoples' WIPs then you should get responses on yours in return. Kind of give and ye shall receive sorta thing. :shrug:

The thing that keeps getting me on this cover is the clashing color palettes. The new Tron color scheme is really pastel compared to the original--aqua blue and orange instead of the more primary blues and reds of Tron, and that shows in the logos and clashes. I think you might need to sacrifice the original color scheme and shift them so they tone in better (BPM struggled with the same thing on his recent collection cover, and when he switched I think it made a world of difference).

You could, of course, do it the other way, but that seems like swimming upstream since most of your cover is the "new" style.

I think the concept is really neat though; it's one of those things where you'll look at the front logos, and won't even notice at first that there's an arm, and then find it leading around to the back. I like the way it ties together.

I put a helmet on her for something different, just to see what it'd look like :p (since the back quote talks about videogames being the future, and she's holding a disc which makes it seem like she's in a game). Plus for some more photoshop skill practice since I've never done something like that before. I was never really sold on it though but thought I'd show it anyway

Its pretty much all experimentation to see what works & what doesn't

I'll take your opinion into account though, cheers :)

Hmmmmmmm love to know where you seen a pulp fiction cover by me?

Because i'm 100% sure i've never done a cover for that movie title.
So if someones credited my name to it then they must be wrong.

Can you post a preview of that cover in question and i may be able to help identify the artist who made it.

Oh ok, I saw it on avsforums, maybe they put the wrong artist associated with it

edit: Nevermind, I just the original post again where I found it, and it wasn't you, I had read the post wrong :o

vidjunkie 04-18-2011 12:27 AM

I was just wondering, do any of you custom Blu-ray cover artists ever take requests? I am working on a project and would LOVE to find someone that would be willing to work up 3 covers, it is a Trilogy I am working on, and if this is the wrong place to post this, please let me know where I am supposed to and I will delete this ASAP.

Thanks

Generally I don't respond to movies I've never heard of, as I don't really understand the design aesthetic for them, so maybe that's what happens with a bunch of them.

Yea I can understand that. I generally follow the same rules. You're right though, the WIP posting is rather limited to a few that make the effort to post on everyone's WIPs. I'm just sorry I haven't been around for a while to post on yours. If it's any consolation whatsoever I like looking at your WIPs.

Yeah you might want to tinker with the classic Tron logo colors. Maybe keep the pink outline but make the internal part of the letters transparent?

I too like her without the helmet.

Other than those suggestions, the cover looks great.

whats the name of the program you guy use to display your cover art? I like how it comes out displayed in a case.

LordCrumb 04-21-2011 02:22 AM

thanks mate, I will try it out :D

Ok its not Blu-Ray, but I'm pretty happy with what I have come up with (I have basic photoshop skills lol), so I thought I would share it here;

This is the style of cover I am using for my WWF Raw 1996 and 1997 monthly sets. Each cover has a new wrestler on it, along with the spine, and the match info on the back.


Then I have done the same, but changed the front logo for 1998-2001, along with updated photos of the wrestlers:


I just finished 12 more covers today for 2001, with some help from Atexp80 in regards to cutting out around hair (very hard).

I thought it came out pretty well considering the quality of the images sourced. The WWF 'Scratch' logo was very hard to find, so I ended up scanning a T-Shirt to get a good quality version, then painstakingly cutting around it with the Pen tool to boost the white and remove any bad patches.

Scorch 04-21-2011 05:17 AM

They look good, but they should be accurate, too. LOD, to my knowledge, was not featured in any matches in September of '98, and Sunny was released in July of '98.

Also, the scratch logo isn't too hard to find. Google search for "WWF attitude logo".
