Except you did it right!

And imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Fantastic job! That's the image I have chosen for Batman Begins, too. I held my breath as I clicked the spoiler for TDK. That's not the image I've chosen.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if the TDK image I picked was too weird, but I dunno, I kinda like it.

Awesome work!

I keep saying: Yeah next weekend I'm gonna start on all the many custom art projects I have planned.
Then the weekend goes by and I'm saying it again the next week.

Have to seriously get on this.

Your Batman Begins art is spectacular, dude

Those LOTRs ain't bad either.

DarkEco910 · 08-20-2016, 03:20 AM

Extra special thanks once again to ritmomundo for the 4K image!

Stargate:

DarkEco910 · 08-21-2016, 04:26 AM

Casino Royale:

Quantum of Solace:

I can't explain what happened, but I think my image for QoS printed crooked. The spine piece ended up not fitting so I didn't even bother. It still looks ok, though.

Salt:

Batman Begins:

I was so proud of this one...until I closed it and realized it's the exact same image on the front of the steelbook. After owning the 2-disc special edition DVD and then the blu-ray, I thought the front was the same as those despite owning this steelbook since 2012. Oh well. Lol

The Dark Knight:

I had an image to print for TDKR but decided against it. I noticed when I opened that steelbook that the black and white factory imagery matched the exterior. With my BB and TDK with interior artwork added, those both reflect the outer color scheme, too. I inadvertently created an amazing color theme with those two. Haha.

Only two more steelbooks to do and I'm done with this endeavor. The Shawshank Redemption and The Departed remain as my only blank steels.

ritmomundo · 08-21-2016, 08:38 PM

^ Those look fantastic! Great job!

That reminds me, I need to get started on my next batch soon.

Here's my Bond steelbooks.

Daniel Craig Bond steelbook. I sold the three redundant discs and changed it to a 1-disc version:

ritmomundo · 08-22-2016, 04:15 AM

^ Nicely done on those Bond steels! I like the idea of having the title on one side.

I have a few older ones that are still missing artwork, like Book of Eli, Suckerpunch, Green Lantern, etc. I'm not sure yet, but I might do something with my Bond steelbooks as well.

ritmomundo · 08-27-2016, 07:36 PM

Customized 2 steelbooks today that already had interior art, but I preferred these stills over the default artwork.

The Huntsman: Winter's War:
I also switched out the tray for a single disc one, since I gave away the DVD.

The Man from UNCLE:

Also had added a black border around the spine to make the yellow stand out more:

And a custom-made lenti to finish it off

Since I don't have Photoshop or GIMP (and don't really wanna get into them because I only intend on doing this once!), could someone convert this image to the front/back/spine templates please? Not sure which one to use, as Rick is gonna end up on the spine anyway but there is little in the way of season 3 posters!

DarkEco910 · 11-02-2016, 01:37 AM

The lame interior artwork for Best Buy's Star Trek Beyond gets a makeover.

I used two of the art cards from the Target exclusive. Rounded off the corners, trimmed a smidgeon off the bottom, and this was the result. I sold the DVD and will put the Target bonus disc in here.

Neither of these characters were represented on the steelbook, and they have been two of my favorites in this series. I felt it most appropriate to have Anton featured with no obstruction. I'm still saddened by his untimely death. This is in remembrance of him.

DarkEco910 · 11-06-2016, 01:48 AM

I wasn't a fan of the interior artwork for Space Jam. So I changed it.

Also swapped out for a single disc tray due to a faulty plastic tray. I'm selling the DVD on eBay with the UV code.

Its a while since I contributed to this thread. I recently bought the Canadian Star Trek Beyond SteelBook. The inside artwork was disappointing to say the least. Just a black background with a few stars sprinkled about, so I decided to give it an upgrade. Its been a while, but I haven't lost my touch. So here it is.

DarkEco910 · 06-11-2017, 04:48 AM

La La Land (UK)

IMG_2040.JPG

In addition to adding better artwork, I swapped out the single disc tray for a triple to accommodate the bonus discs from Target and Walmart.

Spider-Man trilogy (UK)

IMG_2044.JPG

I decided to just do one side and leave the original print on the spine and right side. The image printed darker with the rest of the building, so I figured it wasn't worth refining.

Next up are The LEGO Batman Movie from Best Buy and the Italian steelbooks of the Underworld and Resident Evil franchises.

DarkEco910 · 06-14-2017, 03:09 AM

I was REALLY lazy with Best Buy's The LEGO Batman steelbook. Lol

I agree. You're lazy. Can you re-do it to include the spine?

Nope. Serves as a nice divider. After my muck-up with Magnificent Seven's spine, I don't feel like it right now.

Besides, I'm taking on a bigger challenge with the imagery I've chosen for all six Resident Evil steelbooks.

I hope they turn out as well as I've imagined they would.

I like the artwork, but you really should have done the spine. No self respecting Custom Inside Artwork surgeon would be totally happy without it
