Haven't been doing these for too long and never tried for free access anywhere before so thought I'd offer these to count for when my contribution runs out











Do you count "White Label" versions?

If these are OK shall I just upload to the gallery?

[donobieus]

These look pretty good, done any covers?

[Raiderviking]

2 of those will not be allowed as they have holes in them.... and as Don said... Covers??

Hi Donobieus
Thanks, No custom covers but plenty of scans which should be up to par but scans can be a real b*tch to get right.
I should mention before someone asks "are these yours" that these are up at Gen under HelloShaun (hence the HS part), why I have a diff username here I can't answer, just fancied a change I suppose.


This scan was using the box cover so had to cover it with black cloth to shut out extra light and scan in its 3 parts (keeping the spine upright is so much fun!), then reworked to a standard case size, correction was awkward as the original has that pressed 3d effect.

2 of those will not be allowed as they have holes in them.... and as Don said... Covers??

That's no problem I can repost without the holes.


Edit: I've just noticed that that cover is not the finished item, a few minutes to find the correct one.
Edit: That's better.

HS - can you please read the 'prove yourself' rules. Thanks

[HS114]

A quick pm session and the confusion is sorted

I've replaced those 2 that had centre holes.

A few more:

labels look good,but unable to comment on the scan,can you upload it full size 3240x2175 to image shack(or the like-will need to be under 1.5 mb)and post a forum thumbnail here?
can get a closer look then thanks.

let me just say firstly that this advice comes from getting a lot of scans past filmboy!! (he's as bad as HVB )
pretty good,personally i would have lined up the spine with the front(where the rivets follow through)and on a cover like that i would have made a inverted selection around the ratings area..to keep the writing sharp while adding the gausian blur.theres also some 'white' spots/blurs in the black which should be cloned out.
the biggest problem is the credit block..its a pain in the arse when they intrude into an image.personally i would select around it and try a 'unsharp mask',but if it didn't help i would leave it.if filmboy rejects it then i would clone/paint the credit block out and type in the credits by hand ....sometimes its the only way,as you cant read the bloody things.
hope this advice helps.but your labels definately get my vote.

[HS114]

Ta for that MHD, I did say scans are a real pain to get right and the nature of this box made life even tougher but I'm learning and no-one suggested that method before - now there's a good subject for a tutorial.

[drastija]

really nice labels..

[GlobalCinema]

Labels are nicely done. The scan is pretty good but I have to agree with the dogs previous comments.

[Bazzah]

How many of those labels are actualy your own work?

[HS114]

How many of those labels are actualy your own work?

That wording is very challenging Bazzah.

I have the original psp files for all of these and the nearest any come to not being "mine" is where I have used artwork generally available, or on the odd occasion where I have adapted a cover made by someone else such as the 7 Mummies one which was made by Cockney Rebel (from artwork he found) but on those occasions I put a post with the cover thread to say that I have done so.

[Bazzah]

Just curious - that Machinist label looks very familiar!

[HS114]

If it looks familiar to anyone it should to you.

Yes, that was an adapted one and I played with the face that was on the back of the cover and played with the front also to get the label I wanted.

And if you look at your thread for it over at Gen you will see my thanks for a brill cover and that I made a label from it, with the last words being
"Hope you don't mind"

That was on the 23rd March this year and in the absence of any reply to the contrary I accepted that my work was ok.

[Stuie]

The labels do not look round, they look very elliptical.

[Bazzah]

Hey Stuie, do you have a widescreen monitor? I think you need to check your resolution!

[HS114]

Jeez, it's starting to feel like a pick holes in me day!

Stuie, those are perfectly round 1500x1500 and 400x400 for previews, or are you suffering the effects of being the Worlds Greatest Lesbian
