Custom Cover Art Thread

[The Dragon]

Could one of you dedicated artists create custom covers for my four favorite Bruce Lee films? :

The Big Boss
Fist of Fury
The Way of The Dragon
Enter The Dragon

I can provide info for the back covers...
I'd be willing to work something out with you.

Wonderful work BPM! It has been a pleasure watching you grow as a cover artist over the past several months!

bpm, you really do great work. I would love to use your "The Hurt Locker" and "Moon" covers when I finally purchase those films. Glad to see you are back and can't wait to see what you come up with in the future.

Very nice job !!! Bpm on those covers. I especially like the Up in the Air and Moon.

[bpmford]

Hey all, thanks again for the awesome comments, I love that my work is enjoyed, that's why I do it (oh, and to get those horrible french-ridden covers off my shelf!).

I do have more coming soon, but they are in hiding as part of competitions right now, so stay tuned!

Welcome back bpm. Excellent job on all your covers, your work and time is GREATLY is appreciated.

BPM, I love your Moon cover. I was going to attempt to do a spanning cover with the moon's surface at the bottom with space/stars taking up most of the rest of the cover with Earth distant in the background, but I just can't find any good moon surface pics to use. But I like yours better than my idea anyway, so I might just give up on that altogether.

bpm, all the good words are well deserved! I am using more than a few of your covers that you have sent to me. Thanks again.

Just curious, though, I asked a few days ago of the thread and haven't recieved a response, and you seem like just the chap to ask. Have you done any covers for, or know where I could get covers for, the following sets? I have been trying to reduce the quickly growing bulk of my hobby. They are:

Spiderman trilogy
X-Men Trilogy
Mummy Trilogy

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Signal12

Maybe someone could try a nice cover for the princess and the frog seeing as the official one is awful!

[JediFonger]

welcome back bpmford! =).

re: criterion releases, was thinking of the regular 7mm BD cases, which i already own, but also the ultraslim ones like the ones matrix boxset came in =P. takes up so much less space, 2bad no one uses them frequently! all you need is cover art+disc+protection those slim cases are awesome.

I would agree if I needed the space; well maybe. I don't think they have the proper amount of space for spine "artwork" to not look crammed. But if I needed the space, I might be able to get over that.

[bpmford]

I too would probably just fit them into a standard 11mm case, whenever I see the slim ones the stuff on the spine looks horribly crammed like Trean said.

I like space savers as much as most people here, maybe more with a large amount of collections in groups:

The ArtHouse Collection - 6 Artsy movies from Juno to Little Miss Sunshine
Batman Set - 4D
Saw Set - 7D
The James Bond Collection - 4 6D Cases
Terminator Set - 4D
Harry Potter Set - 2 4D Cases
Star Trek Set - 2 6D Cases
Pirates of the Caribbean Set - 6D
X-men Set - 6D
The Tarantino Collection - 6D With Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, etc
Fast & Furious Set - 4D
Final Destination Set - 4D
The Robert Langdon Collection - 2D Da-Vinci Code & Angels & Demons
Rocky Set - 6D
Ocean's Set - 3D
Matrix Set - 6D
Disney*Pixar Collection - 2 6D Cases
Die Hard Set - 4D
Mission Impossible Set - 3D

...And all of those except for the Saw set are in cases 15mm or smaller. I love saving space! If I didn't have those, I know my collection would take double the space!

Bpm, you get me exactly!! I have sent you a PM concerning a some of your list. I appreciate the help, thanks, signal12.

[bpmford]

That's correct, so Leonidas, you would def qualify as a Power Member!

Thanks bpm. You do great work and can't wait to see what you come up wtih in the future.

[Mr. J]

Damn, here we go again!

btw, love the new logo bpm! Very professional!

[bpmford]

Oh, and thanks jayvo!

[BJMRamage]

so, when people steal the work is it DL and then posted elsewhere without consent/noting the artist?

I am relatively new to this forum (just got bluray a few weeks back). I am a designer so seeing these Custom Pieces excites me a bit. I wish i had more time on my hands to deliver some covers. maybe one day when my infant isn't so "needy" i can have more time.

Keep up the great work guys/gals.

[JediFonger]

the matrix one is just fine. for me, at the end of the day i don't sit in front of my media storage area/shelf and read all the spines. in the end, i need the space (tiny condo in Boston) and need to find it quickly and play the movie.

sorry but that's the nature of the internet. if you REALLY don't want to share anything, put everything on a secure ftp/bt somewhere, no1 can get at it unless they've 'earned' it.

so w/o somn drastic like that, you'll always have "sharing". i'd imagine it'd be difficult to "copyright" somn that MPAA has rights to... despite some of the artwork being very nice and professional.
