Already on it, I was searching out "Sink the Bismarck!" art out last night. But, I think I am going to concentrate on those BDs that have already been released because I don't want to revisit them down the road when they are released and the specs don't match.

Decided to give in to a few requests regarding I, Robot. Here's where I'm at so far. Still need to finish my Fox template before I can continue the back.

That's pretty awesome, I like it better then the normal cover.

I came across a series of covers by someone called Morsoth over on Deviantart. I am sure the resemblance is wholly coincidental. Not!

Hope I dont get bashed by this post.... but I have been playing around with some VHS! covers!, yes they did know what they was doing in that time.

So this is from the time I started to watch movies on VHS!...

Anyway I did a touch up on this cover, anyway! I love this artwork they used back then.

PM if you want this.

I think you are reading too much into the covers Nissen. Having worked the 007 covers myself I know just how constricting it can be sometimes to try and use something that hasn't already been done...besides, it's clear that your TLD is leagues ahead of Morsoth's.

The similarities are obvious to see, down to the target number on the spine and the almost-brushed steel effect. It's very clear that your design has just been tweaked a little.
Doesn't Morsoth frequent these forums?

Problem is maybe that someone have copied the design.

You know, all he has to do is write "based on a design created by Nissen (insert link)". In fact, I think I'll go over on DeviantArt and do that right now...

Oh yes...I didn't look that closely...but now you point those out I see it.

Yes Morsoth does frequent these forums...but didn't he post those here as one of his first customs, and when called out for it apologized to Nissen. Or is my memory failing me?

I vaguely remember that too and I think he removed those posts* due to the complaints he got.

*I could be wrong about this bit and I can't be bothered to check.

Weird, I guess since you're in Norway they delayed the release by a year... Because the official title is The Concorde: Airport '79

Yes that is correct.

adsdsdsd · 02-27-2013, 07:59 PM

I'm working on a cover and I'm on the back of it and I was wondering how you guys get the text to look legit? I would love an answer as I am in the final stages of my Collector/Collection Collection.

You should convert the cover to blu-ray or even dvd size.

DrrnHarr · 02-27-2013, 09:52 PM

You knew this was coming right....a WIP (based somewhat around a previous custom). It may look very similar to a custom I did previously but there are distinct differences. The artwork has been reworked extensively so now the castle and helicopter are no longer connected to the Burton/Eastwood image. The explosion of the castle has been expanded and the castle and helicopter moved under a bar of images.

In keeping with some of the other movies the images are placed on cards. If anyone has an idea of something "Where Eagles Dare" theme specific to place the images on I would like suggestions.

Blu-ray.com was good enough to provide a big image of the double feature back so I could ensure the specs matched. This included adjusting the running time and making it region free instead of region A locked (who knew).

Finally the synoposis was placed on a path.:

Already got my custom slipcover for Iron Man 3 done. I was sold on the poster for the design the second I saw it.

Hussun1 · 02-27-2013, 11:09 PM

Great job on IM3 there mate, looks amazing!

SethRex · 02-27-2013, 11:22 PM

Yeah that Iron Man 3 looks great.
