the covers look great to me. All of the artists on this site are fantastic. cheers.gif

Hey lulubelle. The artist involved did apologise via PM for their comments. I hold no grudge against him/her. SteelTongs !!! I've never heard of that one :O I've been most recently been using SteelFish. /me heads off to find that. <---- IRC whore too. LOL.

TropicalStorm. Nice legs 8824.gif

GlobalCinema. Point me to that access to more hi-res materials. eg. 10th & Wolf.

Everyone who has posted positive comments. Thanks Very Much. 8824.gif

Cheers

Edit. Grabbed that font & in the read me is a "distributed by ........." a site I've always posted my covers at. I guess I should look there more in-depth. I've never been one for long seaches for stuff. I'd rather work it out for myself or ask someone who knows. Thx lulubelle. 8824.gif I'll give it a try on my next cover.

Tropical Storm. I'm a bit of a post whore so yes to that question. As for posting my opinions on other covers, I've done that here already a few weeks ago & gotten my head bitten off by one of the residents. I've never let that deter me before though.

HS114. You might want to read why I said the covers may be a little blurry again. The RV cover is centered. What you think isn't centred is an optical illusion. If I was to post a 3d render of it you would see that. I do see that small block you are talking about. Glad I could teach you something. 8834.gif

lulubelle. I agree with you on the credit blocks. I can never quite decide what to leave out & most of it ends up in there. If someone could show me how to make the job tile eg. "director of photography" sit perfectly on 2 lines, the same height as the "name" the way it does on a retail cover I'd be enternally grateful.

I never professed to be the best, which is why I don't go out of my way to make covers for the big hitters such as Superman or Tokyo Slide. I'm happy to download the great work others do for these.

I take the time to make covers for the ones no-one else does. I've done about half an hour of a tutorial 12 months ago & from there have taught myself by seeing what I like about other artists covers, trial & error and feedback received. I learn something new from every cover I make.

Well that's all from me for now.

Cheers

ps. told ya I'm a post whore winking.gif love me or hate me. i'm me.

I agree with Lulubelle on the spec boxes and credits, but apart from that these are nice covers...

by GlobalCinema » Fri Jul 07, 2006 9:28 am

Technically you are growing with the design of your covers. I agree with all points raised above.

The points about pixellation are probable through elements of low res materials being used. The same problems are on the proof cover. However this can be sorted with access to more hi res materials.

In principle I have no problem with acceptance.

What have blurry images got to do with a PC running an encode whilst upping them?

And why would say, the RV cover be more blurred than others?
What causes that pixellation effect around some of the text and images like the bus atop the mountain on the front?

BTW, RV title is not centred vertically (to far to right) on the spine, is this intentional? And at the bottom of the spine left is a section of the dark grey intruding onto the light of the back which can't be intentional.

Hope you don't mind the comments, this helps me learn as much as being critical.


Not seeing any of that stuff here maybe my monitor though but looks ok from here, might be because it's in low res mind you.....
