I'd love to see an 'Enemy at the Gates' redux cover since the Stalingard is very poor looking.

Also, I must be using a crappy printer because whenever I tried to print out one of these covers (Running Scared) it was pretty blurry.

And I was using glossy stocked paper.

That's easy to say with PDF files, but these are jpg's, so it is a bit more difficult to say what the correct way to print these out are. I'll try it again with the default Microsoft photo printout as an 8x10.

I'd suggest a good, free image editor/viewer like IrfanView if you don't have access to something like Photoshop.

Are there any places where I can download a cover art for MI3?

Hey, do you guys do requests?

BunnyDojo or Evangelo2 could you guys try working on a different cover for OLDBOY - the one on that site is, is just a reformated version of the original.

I'm sure you know that the biggest compliment you can get is from another artist.

You guys do great work.

Cheers,
Charlie

A question that might have gotten lost in the shuffle: Where do you get high-res art for use on your covers? I'd like to make some but don't know where to start.

The most consistent place I've found is outnow.ch, but their quality varies. Screen captures are always a possibility. The other option that can really unlock some gold is either to search for the movie title or better yet the studio, plus a word or words like "publicity" "stills" "press materials" and such. As an example, search Google for Lions Gate Publicity and you're 'In Like Flint' in regards to any new releases.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, what's the best way to print these out. I'm walking more about the type of printer/paper than actual printing instructions.

Anyone want to try their hand at a custom for Lebowski? I haven't worked on any in quite a long time, but maybe I'll give it a whirl this weekend if no one else has an available one.

Some nice additions since I last checked!

I updated the first post so that it just shows a few of the latest on my site, and also added a coupon code for SleeveTown in case anyone is looking to buy replacement cases.

Would anyone be willing to print out some covers for me and send them over? I can paypal

I would do it myself but my printer blows and I have no idea what to do if I bring it to Kinkos.

Which ones do you need? I could put some together as a .pdf and e-mail it to you. Then you could put that on a disc, take it to Kinkos and just tell them to print it on some nice paper. Won't cost you a dime. 'Til you get to Kinkos, anyway.

And it would already be formatted so that when they print it it would be the right size?

Yep. The .pdf file will have the images at the correct size, and that's how they will print. They'll have rulers there at Kinkos in case you'd like to measure; I'll add some crop marks at the edges to make them easier both to measure and to cut out.

Kudos to you OP. I haven't upgraded to HDDVD, but if I had, I'd get these in a heartbeat. Great work on everything, including the site and the instructions included on it.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Since this thread got moved up, I'll add that I've upped my latest cover for Transformers. Since the retail on this is so horrible (at least in my eyes) and the movie seems to be a "biggie" I figured I'd try my hand at providing another option.

Full-size available at/near the bottom of the page on bunnydojo.com/HD

I think you should move the "E" down just a tad.

I'm really liking these custom covers. Appreciated and keep up the good work!

Any chance that a Mallrats cover is on the horizon?
