Are you just trying to make a slipcover for a single movie, or make a slipbox to hold something like 3 movies?

Yes, please upload that one when you get the chance!

As requested, I have changed one of the still photos on the back cover of my Toy Story Trilogy cover:

Also have converted the Bridge on the River Kwai to something for a standard case:

Those are really good looking. Hell, it even looks official too!

I'm not seeing these here but I am looking for custom blu ray artwork made using the steelbook artwork for Sherlock Holmes and Scott Pilgrim (namely the Scott guitar playing logo on the red background and the Sherlock's face artwork that was also featured on the Target exclusive dvd).

The problem is that it's hard enough to get an artist to make a cover that they don't already want to make... Then you want them to use artwork they might not like?

For example... Wookie made the best Scott Pilgrim cover you're going to find anywhere... Chances are he's done making it... And since it's the best, most others are just going to go with the OG one or his.

Photoshop really isn't hard to learn. I've never taken a class on it... Just play with it, get pissed, search google, and you'll be good to go in no time...

Fair enough, I can do that. Mostly I wanted to stave off the desire to pay more for expensive editions by having unsatisfying look-alikes.
Kind of like being with a lady that looks like someone famous rather than going for the one with a good personality that's more original.
In light of that, I suppose it would be kind of asking someone to be... cheap, to make those covers... and you guys are probably just not that kind of ladies.

haha. You may get someone to do it, I just didn't want you to feel ignored if it didn't come about.

Just a slip for a single disc case. I want to put one on my Scott Pilgrim blu-ray case so it better displays with the NES style case.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry if this has been answered before but is there a section here where we can request covers whether it be custom or scanned? because a lot of times when you buy ex rental copies they have no artwork or Blu cases, you get a good price but it sux with no artwork, well I have cases and a printer but sure would like to see if anyone here can help me out and I could do the same for fellow members.

Thanks

Use the thread search tool and try to find customs for movies you are looking for. If you don't come up with something then post and maybe we can push you in the right direction or maybe someone has something in the works.

Generally, most custom cover artists make covers that make them happy and then share them with the rest of us. Very few take many requests due to the time consuming task of making a cover, but its not outside the realm of possibility.

Thanks for the fast response, so we don't have a specific request thread any where on the board here? also scans would nice to, at the moment I am looking for Room in Rome and Open House.

I've made some customs and not shared them, being replacements for ex-rentals, used, etc. and not all that interesting. So I guess it can't hurt to ask...

Well aside from the 2 mentioned above, Room in Rome and Open House, I just checked and need The Story of O, The House of The Devil & The New York Ripper.

Does anyone have or know where to obtain custom covers for the Omen boxset(US version)? I'd prefer the 4 indivual cover if possible. Sorry, I didn't know where else to post this.

Does someone have a custom cover art for The Pacific? I love the tin can package, but would like to keep the discs in a 6-disk Elite case for easy access. If someone has a cover art for 15mm thick 6-disk Elite case, I would really appreciate it.

Likewise, thanks.

Hello,

Does someone have a custom cover art for Avatar? I would like to keep the 2 disc set (BD/DVD) and the new 3 disc (BD) extended collector's edition discs in a 5-discs 15mm blu-ray Viva Elite case.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

[dv8pdx]

Here is The Pacific I've been working on... I think its pretty much done.
