Thanks. I've done some tweaking and completed the JP3 cover. Just need to find out the specs on the special features to finalize everything.








(I've spotted a slight error on the JP poster front cover and that's been corrected now.)

Hey Guys, so on the Star Wars Blu ray as you know it has none of the bonus features from the previous releases. I'm keeping the Bonus Materials disc from the old Orginals box set. There's still the Bonus Materials discs from Episodes 1,2,3. I was wondering if anyone's made a cover for these as I was to keep them

So I've been trying like hell to create a cover format for continuity of my collection and I contacted BPM about his blu series, but then decided that he did all that work for himself and he shouldn't have to let anyone use it at all IMO. So, I started thinking about it and this is what I came up which is basically a criterion knockoff called The Garth Collection for my family. This is the first one I'm working on but haven't finished yet. What do you guys think so far?

I know it has been covered on here, but I couldn't find it. I need a cover for toy story 1 or a custom cover. I accidentally got the dvd/blu version, so I need to replace it with my bluray case. I need some artwork. Please pm me some artwork or send me a link to it. Thanks guys!

Interesting idea but I find the back blue write-up unneeded. It's your collection so you know what it's about. I'd just have the blue Garth Collection tag the same on the back as it is the front. Simple, clean and less about your collection than the film itself. Maybe have a catalogue number on the back for # added into your collection, or date added or something like that.

A custom cover for Drive, based off my poster.

Okay, I admit, that case colour is a total cheat, but I just couldn't resist. Those red HD-DVD cases may come in handy some day.

Good job. I know how long it takes to do this stuff, so I admire your dedication. I'm in the same boat myself, waiting on the specs and extras to finish my covers.

I like what you did with the emblems on the spines. I'll "borrow" * that idea and replace the T-Rex I used for all of mine.

* It's only stealing if you don't tell anybody

Edit: You're right, there seems to be something off with your colours. You're not making them in CMYK or something, are you? What's your workflow?

PM me with an e-mail address. I have the original scan of the Blu-ray cover.

It's in the upload to a web host. The images look great once saved as jpg from photoshop and no problems when they are printed (so long as the emulsion in the machines is changed properly).

Feel free to borrow as that's what I've done with a lot of my ideas. I'm not at the point of being 100% original so I take inspiration from other works and meld them into my own designs.

Still brainstorming ideas for my Star Wars bonus discs but as I've just ordered a bunch of 4 disc cases I should get working on that. I've also got another huge project (poster) in the works that will need to be completed by the end of November, if not sooner. Usually I think up ideas and play around with things in photoshop until one day, well usualy night at 2am, it all just starts to meld together and the project takes off. That's what happened with Star Wars and JP last night till the wee hours. Also makes it easy to miss simple little things but thankfully it's all digital and can be corrected easy enough.

OK, I know some of you are probably sick of Conan The Barbarian covers lol, but I have a request for any of you great artists here, would any of you be interested in making just 1 more CTB cover? but this one would have different specs than the retail, I would need it to be 126 minutes run time, with DTS-HD MA 5.1, Original PCM mono 2.0(from Laserdisc), DTS-HD MA 2.0 Isolated Score, and I was hoping you could follow the original Theatrical DVD design, but obviously with all the Blu-ray goodness.

If there are any takers for this, I am sure we could work something out for your hard work, Thanks.

Here is the basic design I am after.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Something like this?

That looks really good. It's much less distracting from the film itself. Now get to work on the rest of your collection!

I've been doing several commissions lately. Like this set for a 14mm saga cover and 12,5mm extras set:

I'm happy to announce that the commissioner has generously agreed to let everyone have a copy of these.

They will be distributed by me by PM as usual.

Beautiful!!!
Could I send you a PM to get it?


And I also wanted to congratulate Rusty for his Blu Ray cover art of Drive.
As always: great job!

Why are there 2 pictures of Resurrection and one picture of the 2007 remake on the back?
