Custom Cover Art Thread

It depends what you consider a bootleg. There are loads and loads of HD Horror films that are only available for purchase digitally (Many of them from the much sought after Lionsgate Catalog). At times I'll burn these to a blank BD-R and create a Blu Ray for them. I've also ripped HDTV airings of films (ie. Jaws 2-4) that aren't available digitally or on Blu Ray and again create my own Blu Rays. Are these bootlegs? In a manner of speaking yes, but not in the traditional sense of cheating someone out of money... what I do is really not much different from long term preservation except my burned discs get fancy disc/cover art instead of a simple sharpie labeled note. I've used sticker labels in the past for music cd-r's, and many that I created back in 1999 are still going strong, but I've also seen the problems that can come from using them, and they are nowhere near as professional looking as a nice disc that has been directly printed on.

Has anyone considered custom cover art for the X-Men Days of Future Past Rogue Cut? It's probably a bit early to be asking, but the current art is among some of the worst I've seen. I'll definitely be wanting to print up some custom art to replace that atrocity.

I started working on some awhile ago. I kind of like the back layout on the DVDs that have come out, so I reworked it to fit a Blu-Ray case. So far I've only finished Season One. I figured I would just use the same picture for the front on each one but change the color; one red, one purple and one green. I'm making them to fit the 15mm cases since seasons two and three have too many discs to fit a standard 12.5mm one. I may change the spine a bit, though. I wonder if I should put numbers on the spine and the Bat logo.

Batman the Movie 1966

Might anyone have a good custom covert for this ?

Looks pretty good, it matches my LE box. Could you use some of the photos from the digipaks? Making the spine 22mm would be great too.

Can anyone do a custom cover for an X-Men set? The set contains each one, except the Wolverine Origins film, which I omitted because it was a piece of crap. If so, I'd appreciate it.

Ran across this "The Fly" cover image but cannot find source, PM me if anyone has.

Of perhaps someone wants to Photoshop it as looks to be a pretty straight forward cover. I might even try if I could get the hi-res images for the back.

I Think that's a Nissen cover, see this post

Well this is definitely going to stay in my WIP folder for quite a while along with the other version of this. I can't seem to make what I envision to come about... rats!

[Angel Eyes]

Anyone have an Elephant Man cover without the Region B rating logos?

I remember seeing a kick-a*s 'DUEL' cover on here with Dennis Weaver looking back over his shoulder. I think at the time it wasn't finished.
I was hoping it was now completed and I could shake that artists hand and ask him for a downloadable version I could pay for.

How do you guys go about printing your custom covers? Every time I print something with an image or graphic, it turns out dull and my paper warps. Do you use a certain type of paper or printer, or do you have them printed professionally? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've been in contact with him, here's his deviantart page. LMK if you hear anything from him. A couple of weeks ago, he hadn't yet gotten the time to finish it.

I use a standard inkjet printer, and matte photo paper.

Here's a custom for Steven Spielberg's DUEL, available on Customaniacs.org

FINALLY... I think I'm getting somewhere! But suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!

I don't know about using the pics from the digipaks, but I can definitely make copies with 22mm spines.

Here is my custom Commando cover:



If anyone would like a copy, send a PM.

That's great. I look forward to seeing them
