[Jonathan_1605]

I pretty much only use covers I've made myself, although I've only been making them for about 6 months here are some I've wound up using...

[bob0mb]

Jonathan_1605, those are some badass covers you've got there . i'd be intereseted in using some of those for my collection . any way to get the JPG file??

[Crimson_Kahuna]

For my bootleg of the theatrical version:

7033

Someone else made most of it, and then customed it with a few little things.

[lilant2248]

That cover of no country for old men looks nice.

[X-Nightcrawler]

The only custom DVD cover I have is the one I made myself today for my fan-edit.

[X-Nightcrawler]

By the way, Weapon X, that "The Fountain" cover is too.Fucking.Pretty.

[NathanRomano]

Check your PM X-Night

[X-Nightcrawler]

Already did, replied; thanks for the interest.

[Lady Stardust]

The only custom DVD cover I have is the one I made myself today for my fan-edit.

That is Pretty fucking amazing man :cool:

[Cronos]

The only custom DVD cover I have is the one I made myself today for my fan-edit.
Very nice cover, still need to find the time to watch your edit though.

I don't use any custom covers for my DVD's, I've tried making my own for fun a couple of times but they've never ended up being any good.

[X-Nightcrawler]

That is Pretty fucking amazing man :cool:

Very nice cover, still need to find the time to watch your edit though.

Thanks a lot. If you, or anyone else, would rather download the DVD video_ts file, tell me. Someone was nice enough to author the DVD for "Full Circle" since I don't know the first thing about it.

[bob0mb]

X-Nightcrawler . i'd be interested in viewing your edit of The Lion King . it's one of my favorite Disney movies....

[X-Nightcrawler]

Godammit, I'm sorry for hijacking this thread, tyler. I'd put all this shit elsewhere, but . . . there really isn't anywhere to put it on JoBlo.

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhQu1uGnJU)'s the trailer for the fan-edit. And here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFMHKv5qSFs)'s a promo. There are instructions for downloading the full 200 minute long, 4GB MPG file in the promo video info. If anyone is interested in downloading the Video_TS file, PM me so I can give you the RapidShare links.

[NathanRomano]

Godammit, I'm sorry for hijacking this thread, tyler. I'd put all this shit elsewhere, but . . . there really isn't .

it's cool

[zzz179]

How do you made theis cover's they are great

[JCPhoenix]

By the way, Weapon X, that "The Fountain" cover is too.Fucking.Pretty.

Agreed. Blows the normal one out of the water. I also really dig your Inside Man cover, Weapon X, but all of your covers are ace.

[adamjohnson]

I miss dvdcoverart.com. They had GREAT ones. But they got sued by pretty much every film studio there was, so yeah.

I had these
Batman 89 (These two were matching and were exactly the same as the 4-disc boxset artwork)
Batman Returns
One Hour Photo (made to look like the envelope you get photos in at the drugstore)
Matrix (green fountain-y image)
Matrix Revolutions (worst cover art EVER?) (just used the Neo image instead of the four crappy ones snamshed together)
Army of Darkness (the 'buff ash' poster work)
The Others (kidman holding acandle, much creepier)
Blade 1 & 2 (just cooler work)
Adaptation (made to look like the script for adaptation, paper clips and coffee stains included!)
Beetlejuice (the name beetlejuice)
Identity (the superior "hand' artwork, as opposed to the floating head syndrome)


UnfortunatelyI cant post them as they no longer exist.

The reason for most of this is that I moved the DVD over from the snapper case to a real case, and needed some nifty cover art.

[electriclite]

These are already listed in my profile.

I also once made one for Evil Dead 2 with just Ash's evil hand flipping you off.

[JCPhoenix]

I miss dvdcoverart.com. They had GREAT ones. But they got sued by pretty much every film studio there was, so yeah.

Agreed. DVDCoverArt was one of my favorite sites. The thing about that site was, it challenged me to make my covers better to fit their (very tough) standards. And I liked that. The credit system was fantastic too, in my opinion. By submitting covers, I saved up credits to download other awesome covers. Unfortunately, I saved my credits thinking to use them later and the site went down :(

I had a few covers up there...I don't remember exactly which ones but I'm pretty sure I had my Malena, Cruel Intentions, and Ocean's 11 covers up there...don't remember which others I had.

They weren't on the level that some of these are, mind you (I only started learning to use textures and brushes towards the end and the covers I did with them weren't too great) but they were fun to make. I haven't made any dvd covers since high school as once DVDCoverArt went down and the "fake criterion" thread here died out, I lost a bunch of interest. I may try to do some this summer though and get my working on my skills again.

One of the things that frustrated me most at the time was the inability to find any high-resolution artwork to use. Which meant, some of my ideas for covers I couldn't do as most of the images I found were only large enough to be used for like half of a front or back of a dvd cover (keeping in mind that the resolution of a DVD cover is pretty big compared with images you can find online). Oh well.

Anyway, here are a few below...I posted these a long time ago in the fake criterion art thread (which lasted impressively over a 2 year span) linked here: http://joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65188&highlight=criterion but they're mostly buried in the thread somewhere. The Eternal Sunshine one wasn't finished, it was one of the last ones I was working on (and the Special Features listed are not the correct ones as I started working on it before the dvd features were announced).

[OpT!Mu5]

Pretty much EVERY SINGLE DVD release has better cover art for the region 2 releases...kinda sucks to live in the USA....;)

I wish there was a web site to download those or something. (Jonathan 1605, those are amazing)

[SchiezaInc08]

Hey, anyone know where I can find a nice cover for Twister?

I want to buy the upcoming special release of the flim, but the cover looks like shit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[bob0mb]

JCPhoenix . i am very impressed with your covers . i would love to use the Oceans 11 (trying to replace the snapper) and Cruel Intentions in my collection . any way you could send me a larger image to print out??

[superpchan]

This thread sounds fun. I've been trying to work on my graphic design skills and have been doing some custom DVD covers, mostly for unreleased stuff (so far). Still very new at this.

Ok so I never make any custom Covers, but yesterday I decided to try to do some.

I mostly Mixed pictures in with the original covers, and used parts from other Cutom covers.

I just spent around 3 hours working on this Sin City one, I used paint because I haven't gotten around to buying Photoshop yet.

What do you think.

It looks better in full size. Here: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/7466/sincitywv6.jpg

I didn't make every little part, I circled the parts I didn't make, mostly the Synopsis, Special Features, and Credits, I only moved them around.
