Just messing around with one. I'm looking forward to this release, so I thought I would start toying with ideas now....



Here's a second version, which is a bit more standard for a cover.

what can I say.. you are the master

Looks like you found a good project to use the background I send you But why does the cover has a slight red hue to it?

Yep, I used it as an overlay to add some scratches and imperfections to the inital concrete texture I created, The concrete I made had gouges in it, but it wasnt as dirty and beat up as I wouldve liked it. So your scan helped add some other imperfections.

As for the red hue, I really dont have any idea. Must just be a combination of filters. I do know when I created the initial concrete texture, I added noise, but I had the monochrome unchecked, so that would be the only way red would have gotten in there. If it's strictly monochrome it comes off more like steel. I can easily change the hue of it though....I have a whole month to tweak here and there.

looks GREAT!

I've gotten some email about the Special Features box. It is modeled after Snake's wrist countdown timer from the film.

Very nice, Darth! You are king of the textures! BTW, I can't wait for this DVD, it's been a long time coming.

Added 2nd Version to the top post. It still needs some tweaking.

that second version looks awsome

second one will be the one i'll download. but i think the red time indicator from the first one should be on the second one. that would make it perfect.

Good Job Darth!!!!!!!!!!!

looks very nice...

but just a suggestion:
i think for the front cover, the #1 pic works best BUT if you can use the RED titles from the #2 pic, it would be allot better... or maker it glowing red (like burning/hot)
& use dark gray or engraved look for the "special edition" instead of red
that way, the title will look more contrast & the SE won't stick up from the title

for the back cover, #2 works better (with original snake's poster)
BUT if you can (might be hard to do), you can the back cover as if it was a thorn old poster on the wall... like those old western "wanted: dead or alive" poster with the #1 pic's background texture
that way, the cover (both front & back) will looks like a bright/concrete look... it reminds me of Robocop: CC

hope u got the idea

just my 2 cent



great job BTW

I actually did have an old torn one-sheet on the back of the concrete one when I was originally making it...scary! haha. I'm tweaking both of these at the moment. I was happy with them, but they didnt come out exactly as planned.
Look for updates soon (I'm a little under the weather at the moment...) The Robocop: CC was my inspiration for the concrete cover, I love that look of it.
