Another from Nissen!

I always found Roger Rabbit covers very boring and uninspired. Nissen went for a retro art-deco style that represents the era the film is set in.
He had the idea of the "usual suspects" line up for the main characters but struggled to find clear images of them so both decided that silhouettes of some of the cartoon characters featured would be amusing.
What do you think?

Wow. O__o

Is there a link to the walkthrough? I love those cases and I have been wanting to try and make customs for a while now.

Whoa! It that the film's concept art? If so, it looks very close to the finished product. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

It's a mix of some concept art and some international promotional materials used at the time!

Fantastic! Nissen strikes again!

Rebel Prince - I don't know how many of those Disney covers you plan on doing but I am giving serious consideration to getting shot of my Steelbooks and replacing them with your covers.

They are fantastic. Could you please PM me a link to download the Snow White one?

great job. i want that slip cover

Scorpion Soldier · 05-28-2013, 07:37 PM

Was playing around with this. Not sure wether to use it as a separate slipcover for the trilogy or as part of my Marvel collection for one the films.

Needs some fine tuning though. Used the sideshow Mark VI bust as a base, and working out the edges and such, which thanks to the ultra detailed model make it a perfect substitute for the actual promotional art.

Anyways here is a WIP for Snow White

Would LOVE to see one of these made with the original white VHS art for TRON

Update!

How do you make a slipcover? Where do you print it? I'd LOVE to use these for my Marvel films. Thanks!

JayFank · 05-29-2013, 04:42 PM

Can anyone recommend a printer to buy, as well as what paper? Links would be appreciated.

Got the director's cut of The Expendables in the mail today, unfortunately without a slipcover, so started working on this:

Who is user on this forum who prints covers and makes slipcovers and sends them to you?

UNCMT9 · 05-29-2013, 08:06 PM

Just received Night of the Hunter Criterion and as expected, the digipack is beat up pretty badly. Anyone have any recommendations for covers for this film? I also wouldn't mind putting it in a Criterion style case.
