I like very much your covers, they look better than the ones the studios use for their releases. You should sell them your artwork

Any chance you already made some covers for the Austin Powers trilogy? Either individuals or for the set. If so, where can I see them??
BTW, Excellent cover for District 9

Very pleased with the your effort! And thanks again!

And the update now features a new logo - it's the original cartoon logo, but I couldn't help myself but update it a bit.

Not bad, getting better, now just need to swap out the "dry desert" background for either "street asphalt" or even "sewer bricks" with moss and slime would look good.

I will probably be having a go but i don't think it will turn out as good as say dv8pdx or bpmford if they decide two have a shot at it, im not trying to rule out any of the other artists with this statement i am merely trying to say that these two people are some of the most talented i have seen. However when i try it myself it will be closer to the time of release as there will be more high quality images to work with, I will be trying this title myself because i am a big fan of Tim Burton, I even met him when i was on holiday in New York one time

There is no reason we all can't do a version, we all have followers, and honestly, more options, more choices = happier people!!

Craig02 · 08-03-2009, 09:44 PM

I know, I hope we all do

i just wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation for your work at the same time

DarthJaeger · 08-03-2009, 09:45 PM

Im a terrible speller and proof-reader!! Even worse when Im rushing something! Photoshop needs spell check or I need an assistant!! lol I'll get those things fixed as soon as I can and re-uploaded. Wont re-post them just replace the file.

I use HP brochure paper, gloss, bright white. Same bond as the studios, doesn't get fingerprints, or crack at the bend and is printable on both sides for covers with double sided printing. And its pretty affordable next to photo paper.

Unicorn Martyr · 08-03-2009, 10:30 PM

Those are some nice covers, but I'm wondering if anyone could do the pizza box cover (and maybe photoshop out the "Contains all four original movies" text.

Do you plan on doing this for all four movies?

You can get it pretty much anywhere, OfficeMax, Office Depot, online, Fred Meyer/Krogers type stores etc.

Just one point if you use this paper, you need to set your printer to "Presentation Printing" in the set up to print on this type of paper. Just like you would for photo paper, only there is no option for Brochure paper - its called "Presentation" setting (on most printers). Just FYI.
