I'm still making some tweaks here and there so comments are appreciated!

wouldnt you actually need a 12 disk box set since rob zombies first movie is a 2 disk edition and the second part is avaible in two different cuts

However, not everyone that might want a custom label is sticking them on burned discs, or even that every burned disc is something that was downloaded illegally. Here are two examples from my personal experience.

Discs that either have no real label other than a basic imprint of the title and a few logos, and discs that are burned for reasons other than so-called piracy.

I have found several custom labels that are as much "art" as many of the covers I have used. I posted a question about using labels on discs that already have factory labeling on them several pages back for this very reason. I have begun using a few labels on some of the discs I replace the covers on and I was wondering about damage to the discs or my player (ie, labels peeling off, etc.)

As for burned discs, I have several instances where I have recently burned discs I owned for one reason or another. Specific instances I can cite are re-encoding the audio on the recent Battlestar Galactica, which was encoded incorrectly resulting in no center channel audio and vocals coming out of the left and right channels. Also, I have re-encoded more than one movie to adjust brightness and contract. The Arrival was actually released with a substandard transfer, called a one-light, that had very poor black level. Michael Mann darkened Last of the Mohicans to the point that one needs a very bright direct view TV to even make out some scenes. One a front projector, like mine, it is simply too dark.

There was a time that we had to accept whatever was put on a disc and sold to us. Now we have the ability to make adjustments that can either correct a mistake, or heaven forbid, impose the owner's preference instead of the filmmakers. I know that will sound like "heresy" to some, but I consider it a "legitimate" reason to burn a disc. Why shouldn't I have a label for it?

Just my POV.

I hope that does not disqualify me from getting your gorgeous cover art

Not at all :-)
I recognize that some people actually apply labels to their store-bought discs, which is indeed a legitimate use in my book.

Two recent commissions I'm allowed to share:

Troll 2 and The Warriors.


Please note: Troll 2 includes the "Best Worst Movie" documentary. The Warriors cover makes reference to the inclusion of the Theatrical cut. All per the client's request.

PM me for download links.

... and here's a couple I cannot share at this time.

It is made for a 12mm case. I always give the DVD's away, so I am making the whole line as if the DVD version was never included.

Hi all.

Just popping in to say I've made an Earthquake custom cover for the new Blu-ray release. My client wants this to be available to all, so shoot me a PM if you want it.

Very Cool!

Would any one be interested in trading credits from one custom site for another site.

I have credits to Customaniacs and want 2 covers from Hi res, both sites have different covers.. Anyone interested in swapping a few covers from each site??

Just out of curiosity, which covers are you looking for?

[deathcab6366]

I know these are not the most "stellar" movies ever but it would be nice to see both of these done by Twilight Time as companion pieces to their Blue Lagoon release from last year.

Both covers were made completely from scratch and I used a similar "cutout" effect for the front covers like the Blue Lagoon cover. The special features are just wishlists for cover purposes.

Ive been updating some of my collections and box sets to custom covers, there is a ton of great work out there.

First set I made was the Avengers
