Custom Cover Art Thread

Here's "Thunderball":

That A View to a Kill cover looks perfect now. I also agree with Nissen on the second "LOOK" for Thunderball. I also love the fact that the rocket covers up some of the logo at the top. Nice design choice.

They need to release the complete series of James Bond Jr.

You Only LIve Twice.

I tried three different TT's before I found one that worked for this cover. I might return to this one later:



and the corrected "Thunderball":



From Russia With Love:



and Goldfinger:

Really like the changes to your Bond covers but there's something not quite right about the Goldfinger one.
Honor Blackman looks odd and where's her thumb gone?
The title on the spine doesn't match the cover one.

Diamonds and You/Twice look fantastic though.

Hard to tell on these I admit, but her thumb is in a shadow.

"Goldfinger" is one of those movies that should have good poster art, you'd think it would - but most of what was used to publicise it in 1964 is terrible.

This poster is for Argentina.

The British Quad is photo rather than drawing - looks better

That's not the Quad but it's the same image.

On Goldfinger Bond looks like he's giving the Jersey Shore/Facebook "duck lips" pose so many girls make.

I like the other You Only Live Twice with Bond in the mini-plane. The other one is just to busy looking (and he's sideways to boot).

OK...I have a high res version of this poster if people think this will work better:

[rybev]

Definitely go with that

Scooby Doo cover Nissen did for me a couple months ago. My previous post with this cover was lost in the site crash.



I will share this freely on request.

I know, and I originally planned to use that, but people on here ridiculed it with the picture of Connery covering the girls posterior. It's too PC for people's 21st century sensitivity's apparently.

Go with what u feel is the best artwork, I do.

[Rizor]

My least favorite thing about the Goldfinger poster being used is that horrific, bloated, and dead-looking gold lady behind them. It's quite an ugly poster.

Can someone please make a Blu-ray cover for 'COMA' (1978) using this poster art? The spine and back for the WB Blu is fine but the front would look so much better with this. Thanks in advance.

Just figured I'd show what I've been working on... 2 seperate covers for Cabin In the Woods (both still WIP, obviously). Can't decide between the two...

Here's version 1...


...and the 2nd one...

I think they both look great! I like the cover picture of the second better, but the font of the first (it won't match well if you mix them, though).

I'd like to see the final work, but headed in the right step on both accounts, IMO!

So agree with that. That image of bodies hanging from all those wires is just what most remember from posters, advertising etc.
