If I get my computer fixed and get enough time off from my non-internet life, I'm game.

Be good to see some older covers IMO.

I'd recommend 70s classics for anyone wanting a theme etc.

[Demonology]

I understand the rules of the comp but i think it would have been wiser to suggest a main title,with this title making sure there's not enough hi-res material around for it.......... then you get the best out of the artists who's ideas really shine.......like the comp over at euphoric not so long ago they chose the lord of the flies and there was some amazing styles and variations of dvd covers that turned up from that comp.

When stating it must be a dvd title pre 2000 you may end up with designs which are thrown together because of the hi-res material available for them,the whole object of a competition is to make the artists think and come up with something very origional.

Just my piont of view.

But count me in anyways

Well imo, if you class yourself as one of the better artists, then choose an older title, it you are a relative newbie and not very confident then choose a newer title, that way it will tax everybody's expertise. The judges that do the judging will be aware of everybody's limitations, so I feel this might be an idea to consider

Demon. I agree with what you are saying, but I was doing this particular competition for all levels. Next, I am planning on doing a contest just for artists, with a public vote. Then we will have a particular title, as you are more skilled. I didn't want to make it too difficult for some of the lesser skilled members. As it is though, it is pretty tough. You can't use any poster image larger than 640x435, which limits cut and pasting. If we get a cover that is lots of small images thrown together, the judges aren't going to rate it. Judging will be based on creativity, imagination, skill etc.

[Krafty]

You must have been reading my mind.
I thought about starting a comp last week (IMG:http://www.hirescovers.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/lol.gif)

Who's not eligible to enter?

[Bazzah]

EVERYONE can enter this one! (IMG:http://www.hirescovers.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/8824.gif)

[Demonology]

I agree Bazzah didn't really think of the less skilled but then again i wouldn't say i'm that skilled either i just try not to use poster-art at all.
Even then it takes me awhile to finish cover because i like to try different things with each cover and look for tutorials on the web for effects i may wanna plan.

[Bazzah]

Best way of learning Demon. I didn't even know how to fill a square 2 years ago, but after searching the new, and a lot of experimenting, I know it pretty well!

And I would have to disagree about you not being skilled. You wouldn't have been so welcomed into the artist group if you weren't skilled.

And hopefully, you will start posting more here now, and get into the Resident artist group! (IMG:http://www.hirescovers.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/8824.gif)

You must have me mistaken for someone else or maybe a year for 2 weeks. (IMG:http://www.hirescovers.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/8834.gif)

The crash of my master harddrive is the first problem in many years, as far as I recall.
