Custom Cover Art Thread

[Lava_Lander]

Okay, here's BSG Season 4. Hopefully I'll get to "The Plan"/"Blood and Chrome" over the weekend.

If the studios were kind enough to produce covers featuring these posters then we wouldn't have to produce our custom covers.

Well-said. I for one would nearly always (like 99.5% of the time) have a painted or drawn cover than a shitty photoshop collage.

For those who don't want the digipak...

#700 - Fantastic Mr. Fox



And I had a request for this... so here it is:

I have to third this request: my Chrome tab was choking while loading and reformatting everything. And since the board software automatically resizes large images anyway (after loading at full size), they could probably afford to be at least 50% smaller.

dude, if you have read above, i already said that i would make my next ones smaller, no need to third any request. i think you guys have to start feeding the hamsters that are running your computers better, cause from scratch, it takes me about 5 seconds to load the complete page from start to finish, and i am not lagging out at all.

I have a request:

I purchased House of the Devil through a used copy channel that did not have any cases, just the discs themselves, what do I need to do, thanks in advance.

hi everyone I'm hoping someone can help me find a custom cover for 2Guns? Please

[Lava_Lander]

The last BSG cover, a combo pack for The Plan and Blood & Chrome.



That's the whole series now; Seasons 1-4 are designed for 15mm cases, and Caprica/TP-BC are designed for 12.5mm cases.



PM me, as usual, if you'd like them.

Does anyone know where I can get a Falling Skies cover art? I've found a few sites that have them, but each one requires some kind of payment or subscription. Most of these free sites don't have much of a selection, especially for TV series'.
Anyways, it doesn't even have to be custom, I just want to get rid of this crappy digibook packaging.
Need one for season one of Grimm too, if possible.

Also, I'd like to get those BSG covers eventually, but I need to buy cases with more disc trays, plus I'm not entirely sure on the process of printing covers that require bigger cases. Is there a guide for that somewhere?

The OP has a section of links specifically about printing covers.

I saw, that is how I printed a few others. But it doesn't say anything about sizes. If I were to download something like the BSG set or any other set that required more than 3 discs with a larger case, how do I go about making sure it prints the correct size for said case?

I'm sorry, not trying to be annoying or ask seemingly dumb questions, but I'm really clueless to things like this.

[Lava_Lander]

UnderocoverXP in the Printing Custom Covers thread works pretty well. There are a lot of pre-programmed sizes for different types of cases, and you can manually adjust the settings to match a size you need.

If it prints at the correct size for a 3-disc case, it should print at the correct size for a larger case as well, just fix the measurements of the original file to the specs you need and print as you have been.

I just use a template when I make my covers and then print them in photoshop. No need for any stupid "cover printing software."

Same here on both counts. I feel printing from Photoshop allows more precision.

Well those of us who don't have photoshop will have to put up with stupid "cover printing software"
