Custom Cover Art Thread

[Torrente]

I love your work BunnyDojo, thank you for what you do.
You made me into doing custom covers and I couldn't be thankful enough.

One of your covers even made me buy a DVD to discover a movie and it was awesome (plus your cover is brillant). It was The Silent Partner.
One of my favorite movies from last year when I discovered it for the first time!

That's all I wanted to say

I could have sworn it said Bunny Dojo when I downloaded it. Must have gotten it confused.

I used your Bourne Trilogy and I think one more. And now Children of Men.

Hubunky, yep, I'm getting pretty close to doing all of them in this style. I keep buying more though which is setting me back. :/

Whatever ones I have left, I'm having a hard time finding images I like. I've been trying to create my own covers, like I did with The English Patient and 40 Year Old Virgin.

I think The Fighter and Jesse James? Thanks for liking the designs! And I do really appreciate the nod.

What titles are left on your adventure?

That's fantastic to hear! I'm glad I could help introduce you to the hobby and to The Silent Partner. A great movie, and a great hobby.

I think it's a very good first attempt. It's nice and simple and looks pretty good. The only thing I would change is the synopsis on the back should have a bit of room on the left side, otherwise you'll end up cutting into the words a little bit.

Where did you download it? Because the main artwork is mine, but i never did a Criterion version of it, so someone took mine and converted it Or did you convert it yourself and downloaded the original from me on Customaniacs or hirescovers? Just asking of course, i don't mind but i'd like to know Still i always feel honored when someone prints a cover i made

Speaking of Collateral, started making a digipack version of my cover for the movie a while back, still in Photoshop stages, but hoping to actually make this soon:

I would suggest not having the text on the back so close to the edge.

Yes, I downloaded it off custom maniacs. And made it into a Criterion. Hope you don't mind.

For some reason, I thought it was Bunny Dojo's but It was yours. Mystery solved.

I think this is the first time I've used one of your covers. You do amazing work.
All the regulars here do.

I'm starting to get to the point where if I see some cool artwork for a movie but I don't own it, I may still do it.

But from my collection, here are some titles I have left. So be on the lookout for artwork for me

Austin Powers trilogy
Jurassic Park 1 & 2
Godfather 1 & 2
Moulin Rouge
Swingers
Three Kings
Road To Perdition
Usual Suspects
Almost Famous
Sixteen Candles
Say Anything
Mission Impossible 1
Cold Mountain
Rounders
Old School

[Hubunkey]

I actually have images for Almost Famous and Road To perdition saved that I was gonna see if you would make into criterions, they are my personal preference for what I want the cover to look like but I think they are pretty cool. The image for Almost Famous is just the foreign poster of Kate and the Guitar

I found some stuff for a few of those including a pretty neat australian poster for Sixteen Candles, i'll try to get them all sent your way a little later

Does anyone have a single case version of the Family Guy trilogy?

He is taking the front of a cover and then creating an all new spine and back to fit the criterion mold. I don't think it's a problem. Maybe he can include a little thing on the back of each cover that says original design by ^^^^^

I have a few of them DVD sized if you know how to convert them to blu-ray size

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ONE TO DEATH!!!!!! So original and unique. Very, very well done!

What program do you use to display your covers on the actual Blu-ray cases like this? I see people post previews of their customs this way all the time. I haven't created my own custom covers before. Not familiar with the programs that people use. My graphics experience as far as apps go is limited to Photoshop CS and 3D Studio Max 5.

If you use undecoverxp to print covers then it's pretty easy. Just switch the cover from dvd size to blu-ray size. I have printed a few DVD covers to blu-ray size and they all look good

Ya i understand that, I know a few folks don't want there stuff reused or anything. Im on the fence about it, the images the people are using are all free to find on the internet but sometimes they change the images and stuff to make them unique. Like I said earlier posting a little credit on the bottom of the back cover should suffice

IMANDIX. The trial version is free but it leaves text on the preview.

Great minds! I did just that for a few titles! Thank you!
