Custom Cover Art Thread

[DrrnHarr]

This Alistair McLean action adventure starring Donald Sutherland, Christopher Lee, Lloyd Bridges, Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Widmark was the most expensive movie ever made in Canada at the time (1979).

This is a WIP

Although I do not expect it to ever arrive on Blu I have always enjoyed the poster art:





Here's my "Firefox" WIP:

There's some super awesome custom cover art in this thread, but searching the thread is a pain in the butt. I know I've seen some cover art in here I want to use but now I can't find it, or remember when it was posted, and the thread search feature is no help. I'm going to have to check back here more regularly and save the covers I like as soon as I see them.

I've always been fond of heist movies so I decided to put together a collection using a template I had already used for an actor collection. This is (obviously) a WIP:

[Fishbulb290]

Really looking for a printable copy, for my personal collection, of the individual releases for the Planet of the Apes 1-5.

Sent a message but no response and the links are expired. Thanks so much if anyone can help me out they are very cool covers...

Those aren't all "heist" films. Mr & Mrs Smith, Changeling, and wanted would be better replaces with the original Thomas Crown Affair, The Bank Job, and Snatch. Or even the Oceans films.

or maybe the movie... after the sunset

Surprised no one has done custom covers for Kelly's Heroes and Where Eagles Dare considering they're in that double feature collection. I just got some new cases and was hoping to split 'em up. Maybe I'll try to make some myself, but I'm not exactly very good at it:

I think the last three are all left-overs from a previous template of Angelina Jolie movies, since the covers aren't there... Thats my guess anyway.

The bottom half of the backs aren't finished, but I threw these together in a few hours today after seeing the awful cover art MGM is using. They are nowhere near finished, but it's difficult finding high enough res images for films this old.

You can't be serious...

As I said in my post this is a WIP and I am using a template. The template was created for an Angelina Jolie collection...Angelina Jolie is in "Mr and Mrs Smith", "Changeling" and "Wanted".

That's why I said in my original post that it was obviously a WIP.

The remaining three movies are "The Score", "The Code" and "The Bank Job".

I've done two custom covers for "Where Eagles Dare". The "Firefox" cover (see previous page) is also for people who want that double feature movie in an individual case.

Looks awesome. I love the use of classic poster art

I don't follow this thread; I just assumed that if someone had made covers for either of them, they would be in the index on the first page, but I now see that it hasn't been updated in a long time.

While I'm here, I might as well upload my K-ON! custom cover. I'm using it in a 4-disc Viva-Elite to house the whole season. As you can see, I didn't bother too much with making it look official.

I made 4 interiors, but the last one doesn't really work too well for the first season :

Original pictures were culled from a Google search.

I don't know what more you can do with them. They are perfect. Great job.

[DrrnHarr]

Taking shape...



Still need to work the runtimes

I know for a fact two have been done for eagles. Not sure about Kelly's.

These are great. I would love the links.

I was really hoping to see some Criterion Styled covers come out for these Hitchcock classics. Anyone working on them?

[NJ_RAMS_FAN]

Anybody have custom box set covers for followings movies? I would like to put them in one case, as opposed to multiple ones. Thanks in advance.
Bourne Trilogy,
Matrix Collection
Shrek set
Family Guy Star wars box set
Ice Age
Mission Impossible
Twilight

Can someone send me a scan of the Tron/Tron Legacy cover?

I haven't got around to doing one for "Kelly's Heroes", but its on the list based on the number of requests I have received following my latest "Where Eagles Dare" cover.

Love your use of the classic posters retablo...are you going to post those anywhere so people can download them? Also, any plans to do "The 39 Steps"?

Thanks.

I love your eagles. I am glad Kelly's is still on your radar.
