Custom Cover Art Thread

Has anyone ever seen a Toy Story 4 4K cover that matches the first 3 movies?

Can anyone recommend a moderately high quality scanner/printer that I won’t have to re-mortgage my house over? I’m diving into some excruciatingly procrastinated custom cover jobs that I started a year ago (mostly Hitchcock 4K releases, with a focus on repurposing the old MCA Home Video releases of the early/mid-80s), and I struck out at Staples today trying to get high-res scans: they emailed me extremely small file PDFs of what I was expecting to be high quality, “superfine” images. Yikes. At least they were only two bucks.

Not sure where else to go in NYC that won’t charge an arm and a leg, so I’m thinking I should just get my own scanner. I figure there has to be several of you who do these sorts of two-or-three-step jobs at home. Any recommendations? I’m actually less certain I need the printer, as I feel it should be easier to get an office supply store to print a high quality cover on semi-gloss paper for me than it is to get high-res scans done for cheap. Thanks guys.

I personally use a Canon all-in-one printer (model TS8300).

I scan in photos or existing covers. Play around a bit in Photoshop Elements (the basic version of Photoshop), and then print them out on photo paper.

I tend to do most of my work at 600 dpi, but you will find that the majority of custom covers are at 300 dpi.

I used to use a Scanmaker scanner that could scan up to 2400 dpi, but I rarely used the extra pixels (and my particular model no longer has supported viable drivers).

I would have issues trying to scan something larger than 10x12 (the approximate size of the scanner window).

Happy Friday the 13th! As some of you may know I did alternate covers for the Scream boxset. The front artwork for all but 3 of those were done by Devon Whitehead. He recently released artwork for parts 5 & 6 and I decided to do another version for those movies.

Part 5



Part 6

It'd be much appreciated! If it's possible to get one for ITSV and NWH (I have some retailer exclusive bonus discs that bring each set to 4-discs), it'd be appreciated as well.

Made a quick custom cover for the Austrian BD release of 'Ekstase' (1933) featuring Hedy Lamarr:

Went to print off this one, and realized that you have the year listed as 2007 instead of 2015. Just thought I'd let you know in case it was an accident. =]

My bad. Thanks for letting me know. Fixed and re-uploaded to Uncovered

Nice. Quick question, are you going to do alternate covers for the Extended cut of The Wolverine and the Rogue Cut of Days Of Future Past when you get to those films?

Requesting any of the cover artists to create a custom Bluray cover for the Arrow release of Major Dundee.

thank you!

I was about to purchase custom cover art credits from CustomManiacs, but hesitated when I got to the credit card payment screen. Does anyone have a positive or negative experience giving them your personal credit card information? I was hoping there was a Paypal option, but no luck.

I would like a custom cover for The Thing based off this Japanese Laserdisc:

This would be for the 4K release (but doesn't include the 1080p disc), and have English text on the back of the cover. It would also have Universal labels rather than CIC.

[Sowhatwhocaresyo]

ok, I can't decide... Should the Wolverine covers have their own Wolverine logo?

or just stick with the X-Men logo?
