Thanks for the comments and posting those photos! That made me think, "I'm a photographer... why the hell am I not postin photos of my work in use?", so I am... Shot these on an end table against my wall, kinda like the look. Nothing new here, just wanted to share.

Let me know what yall think.

Great job, Matt! (karbacca is my little brother) I like the layout, but my only nitpick is the logos at the bottom. I'll show you a few things on that tonight.

Quick update for the Once Upon A Time In The West cover. I added more info to the back, gave it some more clouds/smoke. I ruffed up the main logo also. Let me know what yall think.

I like everything about it except the font on the front cover and spine. It's too modern looking.

haha. No problem. I didn't feel guilted. I really do wish I were talented enough to draw that. I'd just do all original work for my covers.

I really like this front better... The new back is looking amazingly realistic, but this front is better to me.

As always, way to impress!

dfms23 · 05-13-2011, 09:33 AM

Would this be the right spot for cover scans of original cover art? I need to print out covers for some Blus I bought on EBay without original cases or cover art. Searched around the forums briefly and didn't find anything for original cover art. Maybe didn't look hard enough and just missed it but I did look first before posting here.

I liked the first version too, but I think the second version is shaping up nicely.

Just wait for it. I bet there will be a "walled" version of Toy Story 3 out before you know it. Or I could be wrong. Just did a search for Toy Story 3 and I see there's a Blu-ray DVD combo coming out in June without a wall.

Wow! This makes me want to see this movie! I love the "muddied up" title and the subtle darkening, too.

Downloaded, thanks!

dv8pdx · 05-13-2011, 02:09 PM

Ok, I think its done! I don't think I could get anymore "Official" with it. Def a fun challenge to see if I could do it!

I decided to do both fronts, one with the current style half front wall and one old style without it.

After this I def want fish for dinner!

I'm curious to see how this will compare to the real thing. When is Disney releasing Finding Nemo on blu-ray.

No word yet. Maybe they are waiting until Cars 2 sees a BD release around the holiday season so they can release Finding Nemo around the same time.

I also don't have that cover thingy to put the custom, so the image goes flat.

This is great! Slap a summary, specs, and logos on this and you'll have created a masterpiece my friend! I think it looks fantastic!

Excellent work! If I saw that on a store shelf, I'd immediately think it was legit. You must have a great dedication to detail; I do as well, but all those symbols and legal text really drives me nuts. That's why most of my artwork either doesn't include it, or has a simplified version. As for the fronts, I still like the "non-walled" version better, but the bubbles you added on the "walled" style were definitely a nice touch. Major props to you for even attempting this; congrats again, and keep it up!

These are just brilliant! Just a few questions though... WHERE DID YOU GET GOOD WILL HUNTING ON BLU?!?! One of my absolute favorite movies, or is this just in anticipation of the BD?

Second, those Mad Men covers are AMAZING! Please tell me you are going to make Season 4 b/c the official cover for that release is just aweful... IMO.
