Custom Cover Art Thread

[aggienader08]

Hey bpmford! Looks really nice!! I was wondering where you got all the blu-ray cases from. Are they all from your original collection? or did you place an order somewhere for the cases? I especially would like to know where you got the elite 7 disc cases?

[cnowels]

Wow. I must admit, that does look very nice. I noticed your one exception to uniformity is the green case for Hulk.

It's surprising to me though, that as OCD as you are about the cases and covers (and not saying that's a bad thing), I can't find any rhyme or reason to their organization on your shelves. Obviously not alpha. Does that force you to appreciate the covers more, since you'd have to scan through them all to find a particular movie you are looking for?

I thought in the close up of the bottom shelf it looked like it was by year.

Well, I actually have a pile of one and two disc cases...I used to work at Blockbuster and grabbed a bunch from there! As for the 7-disc one used for Batman and the 6-disc one used for Saw...I used my Star Trek SSN1 case for Batman and have stored the extra discs in a jewel case and used the 6-disc case I got with my UK X-men movies for Saw.

I should be able to post them soon, I can also make others easily if people wish, or individual ones for some of my sets.

I'm still confused. The bottom shelf is by year. But the top doesn't look like it is.

The top shelf goes like this: (Left to Right)

First bunch is Sets (All movies with Multiple sequals) in order by year of first film's release.

Second bunch (small bunch) is Series (BofB and Planet Earth)

Third Bunch TV Shows

Fourth is Titles by year (Alphabetical within the year) starting in 2009 with Knowing, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Up...


It may sound confusing, but It is simple to me!

Yea, I would die if I had to do it at home!

[cnowels]

Aaaaah...okay. Not too confusing. I just couldn't see a pattern without being able to see more of the titles and years.

bpmford - You custom covers look awesome!

[bpmford]

You've all grown in style and design 10 fold!

I knew I recognized that front cover...

I agree with dv8!

[Coov]

Honestly, I did not realize that was custom. I looked all over google and that was the best image I could find for a cover. There was really squat out there to my surprise. I'll remove it if you are going to be like that.

BTW... If anyone wants to use and butcher my own covers, go ahead. That is why I am sharing.

I've been considering doing something similar myself, although I like to have some info on the back of the case as well.

They look great though bpmford

[Coov]

Here is a new original Matrix cover that I would like to share.



Just so everyone knows everything that I do is 100% original. Pardon my ignorance in thinking the previous piece was a simple poster that someone just happened to use for their cover. It is not like I am trying to make money off of this stuff. No reason to jump the gun and not give the benefit of the doubt and pronounce me as being unoriginal.

Like I said, anyone can do what they wish with any of my work. I just hope it is appreciated.

[Aspect54]

Been working on a Let the Right One In cover, bought it on ebay without a case and couldn't find one online. I've been making covers for a while and this is my first of hopefully many posts.

This may not be the right thread for this, but this is where all the cover art folks post.

Does it drive anyone else batshit insane that for the Bourne covers the text for Ultimatum is not in red, while Identity and Supremacy is. Is there some meaning behind that or did some Universal cover artist just want to piss me off?
