Having a spoiler inside a spoiler is causing an annoying effect. Every time I click on a spoiler link it closes the whole damn thing.

I was unaware it would do that, it didn't have that effect when I tested to make sure it would post properly. Anyway I made some adjustments.

I want to take my hat off to all you guys. Amazing artists, so much talent.

I've been a member at euphoric for about 3 years or so and probably saw a lot of you guys' work there too. Unfortunately for me I can't download art there any more since they want people now to either pay a small fee, or create covers regularly and no fee. Since I suck at this and am cheap that pretty much puts an end to my glorious download career over there, lol

Nevertheless, excellent work all of you. Fantastic thread.

I don't understand it, but at least now we know what nested spoilers do.

Cool covers btw

Thanks for the compliment.

[Sukie]

A big thank you to Lt. Branniganwho has again inspired me to do my own Transporter Trilogy

[Sukie]

OMG... I'm so excited! In lieu of Shocker's September release (YAY!) I have fixed my cover.

[Hubunkey]

Anyone have any cool retro looking Universal Classic Monsters covers

I have preordered Tentacles/Reptilicus for the Tentacles movie so I have made two versions for Tentacles when it comes in.

Version 1



Version 2

Here's one I did for the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. This is a supplemental cover to my previous "White set".

As you can well imagine, artwork for this programme is limited. What I found was either too low quality or just too drab. Other cover designers have used images of the matte paintings or just a still from the show, but I needed something to sit well with the painted artwork I used on the other covers in the set.

The only available "official" artwork for the Holiday Special is the print ad used at the time of the original airings. Unfortunately it is in black & white and only available as a murky print (see below). I ended up recreating it from scratch in colour with approximate stills I could find. I know someone else already attempted this, but I found the quality and workmanship lacking for my purposes. If I wasn't tied to keeping the artwork consistent with the other covers in the set I would have gone a different route, but I felt I needed to adhere to the original print ad as closely as possible.

To approximate the look of painted artwork I had to manipulate the images quite a bit. First, I boosted the colours significantly and smoothed out gradients and details, then I applied a Dry Brush filter to all the elements. At varying settings this gives them a somewhat simplified, painterly look, and somewhat averages out the different quality of the source images but it's still a far way off from being seamless. In hindsight I wish I researched appropriate Photoshop filters to recreate a more painterly look. All tips appreciated.

I pimped the final composite by applying a Radial Zoom blur to varying degrees across the image, and added a nebulous star cloud to the background which adds a bit of life to the otherwise stale composition.

It's not often I create artwork from scratch like this, but in this case there was just no way around it.

PM me for downloads.

That is plain awesome Nissen and the amount of work you put into it is amazing. You are a king among men when it comes to covers, your attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none

Apparently American westerns play better in Germany than in America. At least judging by the raft of classic westerns released on Blu-ray in Germany that have yet to see the light of day here. Warlock from 1959 boasts a cast including Henry Fonda, Richard Widmark, Anthony Quinn and Dorothy Malone, not to mention one of Fox's early CinemaScope productions. A fairly serious pedigree for a film not released in HD in the US. Oh well, I guess that's why we have Amazon and region free players.

Here's an English cover for the German Blu-ray. I found a very nice theatrical poster from Spain that also required some "Americanization"...



You can find this at EuphoricFX.org, or drop me a PM if you want a full res copy.

Don't fool yourself Nissen, it's pretty damn sweet. You put wore work into it then Lucas and the writers did for the special. Is it even available on Blu-ray in the world of boots?

That's all they'd do if they made a new cover for it anyway, and I can guarantee your work would still come out on top. NEAT.

Would any of the Custom Cover Mystro's care to create a custom for this art once we get a release and specs for the eventual blu release? Thanks

[hifiHigh]

So is this the thread for custom made BR cover arts?

I have a few I'd like for someone here to put together for me....
