Do you obsess over small details, as well as a "finished" image? Do you sometimes finish a cover then look at it a day later and say, maybe this would look better if I changed this or that? I'm guessing, yes, but I'd like to hear how you guys look at what you do.

Me, I looked at my Beastmaster cover after posting it last night and got to thinking the cover might look better if I changed a couple things. My OCD kicked in this morning and Beastmaster V2 was born...

I'd think something was wrong with me if I didn't get my OCD running after I thought any of my work was a finished product. I'm always tweaking until it's really ready for people to use.

Looks good, but no bluray logo?

[RebelPrince1986]

Some Harry Potter covers I'm working on for Scanavo cases.

Looks great Rebel, but I'd lose the tagline on the front of Sorcerer's Stone. Maybe put it on the back to break things up?

Can someone please make a cover for the upcoming release of "The Nut Job"

I had been wondering about the tagline myself. I've removed it from the final version. Thanks.

Here is the rest of the series.

Honestly, I'd try and find the taglines for every movie and use them to either headline or break up your text on the back cover. I'd also justify left for the above text and leave the special features centered on the back.

Who is that on the cover with Ron? Is it Fenrir Greyback? Seems a bit random.

Otherwise, they are very nice.

Wow, great work. Your Captain Phillips artwork is superb, but your Action Jackson artwork to me, looks too modern.

I really like the darker shift in tone with Azkaban you got going on there

Took the day off from doing covers to do a cover. (Yeah, I know....)

Updated my old 2011 Superman collection set to include Man of Steel. This is a custom cover set to replace the Blu-ray box, including the bonus disc. After talking tough the other day about how I don't revisit covers, I have to admit I tweaked the previous 5 a bit.

PM me for download.

wow nice works. Really like the matching color scheme and layouts

[Spartan061]

Is anyone making custom covers for the slew of new Godzilla releases coming out? They are all different styles, it would be nice for a uniform design.

Thank you. This was a set I made very early in my cover-making days and I would do just about everything differently today. Funny how my tastes have changed. Though one thing remains; Superman is THE super hero.

I was asked to do a vintage VHS-inspired custom Blu-ray cover for the recent release of No Holds Barred. The client wanted me to share this with everyone, so please PM me if you're interested.

Updates on a few of my covers. Changed the banner for 300 to Warner UK's design since it seemed a better fit to me. Also added an alternate design. Still looking to do an alternative cover with Artemisia. Only change to Winter Soldier is that I zoomed in on the main image a bit to get rid of some empty space. Scrapped the Pacific Rim cover.

Why not post all of your custom covers, friendo?

Incredible works. I'm really impressed with the amount of detail you put into the covers

Started working on my custom Godzilla series covers today. I really liked the design that Section 23 is using for their Godzilla releases and wanted to keep in that spirit. I am trying to use original poster art as much as possible as long as I like the design. Above the poster art area will be the title of the film in English along as on the spine. While some have English titles already on the poster like the below example I want to keep it uniform throughout the series. I also took some design elements from the good folks at Criterion and adapted them for use on my covers here and they will be housed in criterion style blu cases. I'm nowhere near as skilled as most of you guys but hopefully these will turn out okay. Here's what I have done so far.
