Awesome.
Side note: Perhaps a cover for Godzilla (2014) to go along with the other two Monsterverse films?

I think I need a little help. I'm trying to print out PT and Rogue One cover art by Phildesfr so they'll fit into Scanavo Criterion Blu-Ray cases to match the Despecialized Editions of 4-6. My biggest problem is finding the right software to print them how I want them without paying for it. The measurements aren't the problem.

The biggest kick in the pants is that when I print covers as they are without any alteration, they come out just fine. It's the ones where you change the size is where it becomes a pain.

In my opinion, The Siege of Mandalore arc from The Clone Wars is the best Star Wars content we've had since 2005. So here's a little something I threw together.

Those FT13th covers would look even cooler if they come in red cases, instead of the traditional blue ones. I may give that a shot.

Any fellow Van Damme fans out there?

I've been meaning to do a set for the Van Damme films for a few years, and it proved to be quite an undertaking. The man has done a whopping 48 feature films, not counting every cameo and voice work etc. I never knew there were so many until I started picking the Blus from my shelves and piled them up. They are presented here in release date order (to the best of my knowledge).

I started with his post-Legionnaire (1988) films because I was very curious to see what artwork would be available for his second tier output. As it turns out, the latter era was the most fun to work on, as there were so many different pieces of art used for the world wide releases of his direct-to-video films. It was a fun journey of discovery on Google, and more often than not I was spoilt for choice. Not so with his older, cinematic output. I found the choices to be far more limiting there. Even if there were alternatives available, sometimes a particular poster was so closely associated with a film (at least to me), that I went with the obvious choice (see Cyborg, Lionheart, TimeCop, The Bouncer). While I took major liberties with many of the posters, often combining several different pieces of artwork or changing things around, I never invented something out of whole cloth. Every piece of artwork has a basis in artwork used for the films in one country or another.

As I've been doing lately, I left the specifics of extras and audio/video specs intentionally vague so people can pair these with whichever edition they may have. As far as I know, The Shepherd doesn't have a Blu release anywhere in the world, but I included it here anyway.

PM me for links if you want them.

Some notes:

[Show spoiler]Hard Target. Iconic poster, but I couldn't help myself from "elaborating" a bit with sparks and streaks. The regular blue background
was clashing with the rest of the cover, so I needed to tone it down anyway.

For Expendables 2, the choice to feature Van Damme front-and-center, and relegate the others to small credits, was more than a little tongue-in-cheek :-) I generally tried to represent Van Dammes contribution honestly, which is why he is relatively modestly featured on the Dragon Eyes and UFO covers.

In Hell. That exploding car is nowhere to be found in the movie, but it was featured on one of the international posters and livened up the artwork a bit, so I left it in.

In the case of JCVD I found a discarded mock up from the advertising agency working on the film's publicity. I had to recreate it from a still from the film, but it was a lot of fun to do.

No Retreat No Surrender. I eschewed painted art and was left with very few alternatives. I wound up recreating a German poster for that one, but with major tweaks.

Kill 'em All. I'm not sure what the origin of that poster is, but it seems to be a fan made submission to a competition on Van Damme's Facebook page. I liked it a lot, rebuilt it from scratch in higher quality and pimped it with a new background.

On The Quest, I made a point of giving Roger Moore over-the-title billing, which he was promised but never received.

Holy crap Nissen. Awesome work!

[Show spoiler]

The stapled booklet is a 38-pages reproduction of the New Line merch catalog and fan club letters from the 80's. The perfect bound book is the guide that was included in the 1999 DVD collection, expanded with other articles to 92-pages. The art cards are by Mike Saputo, from the Mondo vinyl collection.

[Show spoiler]

What is missing--since I don't have access to a print shop--are a 3-disc digipak for the bonus features (and the merch booklet) and the outer case to house all of this stuff in. I wanted it to look and feel like an Arrow boxset (like their HELLRAISER or PHANTASM collection). Hopefully I'll finish it soon!

That looks amazing. Did you do custom Blu-rays like your Halloween set?

Yes that's the plan, though doing the NIGHTMARE series is simpler than HALLOWEEN (less Blu-ray editions, only one studio, etc)

Unfortunately, you can't obtain Encore from Adobe anymore and I only have an outdated version to work with. Not many options for creating physical media these days obviously!

[Sowhatwhocaresyo]

This one goes out to TripleHBK who requested it many moons ago. Hope you like my friend

I finally got my hands on a copy of this OOP double feature recently. I have most of the ones SF released in my collection. Anyone want more of the SF double features made into single covers?

This and your Halloween set have me incredibly jealous of your skills.
