As for sharing them, I don't know if I'll have room to host all 50+ of these on my server.

Those are amazing Nissin. Wouldn't it be possible to compress them using zip and offer them up as a package? Heck I'd even be willing to pay for those.

Ron,

Thank you for the wonderful Criterion customs that you've been creating for the past month or so. I wonder how many readers are aware that these are sized for Criterion's proprietary clear case? I didn't realize that until I saw the specs for your covers on EFX.

Have you considered doing a custom for Dr. Strangelove? As a digipak release, it cries out for a replacement cover! Besides, I'm not all that impressed with Criterion's artwork for that one.

Well, JPEG-files are already solidly compressed so there's practically nothing gained by ZIP-ing them in my experience. And if I do share them it will be for free.

I could probably make it a time limited offer.

These will be available with his project, but feel free to PM me for the cover links.

Hi Nissen,

I saw this post for Ghidrah The Three Headed Monster and wanted to ask, can you tell me where I could get ahold of this HD rebuild? My son and I are big Godzilla fans and I would love to get something like this. If you're able to provide the information, I would greatly appreciate it!

You're welcome.

I thought I mentioned that they were standard Criterion cases. Must not have!

Dr. Strangelove? I'd never say never, but chances are slim. Not a fan of the film, and I usually only do covers that I'd use myself.

But you never know...

Like I mentioned I am the person who commissioned these and have the only copies. If you want you can PM me about getting them you can

I don't understand these weird 'display' covers with the case and weird angels.... Where do you get the regular flat cover art to print?

The previews are just that.

Some creators offer direct downloads via a link in their post, but most often you contact them directly via the Personal Message system and they will set you up with the actual file.

Is there a reason for all the complexity?

It helps retain control and minimize how and where the covers are shared. Openly posting them on the forums means that often times the covers end up on other sites without proper credit. In other cases commissioned works are previewed on the board but are left up to the commissioner to determine whether they would like to share the final product or not.

Probably staying as close to the original poster/VHS/DVD artwork as possible. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know about using any poster/VHS/DVD artwork, there isn't diddly squat out there for high quality images, but something like this is possible:

could anyone help with this problem i'm having? i'm trying to make a 15mm template, i put in the correct pixel dimensions of 3224x1762 but for some reason it's coming out at 136.48x74.59mm when i think it should be somewhere near 2-3x that physical size

Those dimensions (136.48x74.59mm) are exactly what you'd expect if your template resolution is set to 600 pixels/inch. Simply change the resolution to 300 pixels/inch and you'll be good to go!

Man I love the neon mickey tape covers. I would love to have a copy of these covers!

Great job! (in the us the wild is not a canon Disney movie but dinosaur and Winnie the pooh is!)

That would be perfect. Is there anyway for you to place that in the Code Red thread. I think there would be some people who would really enjoy the opportunity to choose(Including me!!!).

@RebelPrince1986 Did you stop making covers?
