Just jumping on Darren's coat-tails here. With all the wonderful James Bond covers out there (official and unofficial), it's pretty hard to come up with something that hasn't been done. There's bound to be some resemblance.

Looks wonderful, just great.

If it was made for you on order, then it would probably be OK. If it was just an answer to an open "request", like you see in this forum all the time, it would probably not be OK.

When people commission me for covers they become the sole owners of that work and are free to share them in any way they please. It's part of the deal.

I don't know if other cover artists look at it the same way. Best to clear it with the artist first. Always.

The James Bond character was created by author Ian Fleming in 1953.

The first novel was published 13 April 1953.

2013 - 1953 = 60

This thread is an awesome idea, with some seriously wicked covers. Anyone have one for Knocked Up?

[DrrnHarr]

Added the Special Features for the Bonus Disc that will appearing as part of the the Bond 50 set:



Also have made one for those who only want to celebrate the cinematic 007:

I'm not even a big Star Wars fan but I absolutely love those covers. Amazing.

My Flickr site is maxed out. Going to look into buying the pro version which gives me more storage. Unless someone knows of a better option.

You could always go to one of the cover sites and up them there. efx seems to be the most popular on here but ther are tons of others out there. I noticed some of your covers showed up on r1db already

On that note, if anyone sees any of my covers on any cover site EXCEPT Customaniacs, please let me know. I show them on some other forums and threads here and there, but they should not be available for download anywhere. Thanks.

r1db is the worst at allowing anyone to upload other people's work. I will keep an eye out there and see if anything I know is your's shows up there

I had an account with them a few years ago, and it was terrible. The main admin (I think his name was Jayhawk) adamantly refused to remove my artwork when it was submitted by someone else, so I finally got fed up and left.

Ya they are kinda dicks but I use them for scans and a few customs that I know the creator uploaded himself.

[flokamo]

hello guys!! I am French ....

I have already told him but I will say it again ... runnersdialzero your work on these covers is fantastic ... I'm a fan of your creation on these customs Criterion Collection ...
this is indeed a pity that we can no longer enjoy them ...
Did you ever think to upload your creation on an image host as imagehack or imagebam?? or on icloud application or the like, image galleries online, or you could share with us your work ....
actually find your custom on free download sites should be annoying .... that's understandable ....
runnersdialzero I hope you find a solution for us (well me, lol) can enjoy it ....

sorry for my english

Well, MGM has announced that the new Blu-rays will contain all of the extras contained on the Ultimate Edition DVDs so there will be no need to tinker with the covers I have already published

No offense, but IGN has been wrong on a lot of their reporting when it comes to Blu-ray. I'm still waiting until we get the official final specs from MGM and not assumptions made off of an old press release that IGN decides is suddenly news that day.
