Another update before bedtime... :D :D :D

Added Pierce and Shirley, played around with some lighting effects to bring the focus onto the characters and added some shadows from the character cutouts... I think it's getting too dark in some places, with brighten it later.

One of the three best shows on TV (Eastbound and Down, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Community).

I'm glad you added Chevy Chase.

I think this looks really cool kernie!

I like all the elements, including the hand drawn TT...

The only thing that I'm not sure about, is that the finger paper game that the characters are inside... looks odd and is hard to see, and makes the front very busy... I think the great look could still be achieved without it...

Although, I haven't seen the show, so maybe it has big significance!

Thanks for the comments, bpmford! The paper game thing is used as the main element of the opening title sequence for the show, it doesn't really factor into the individual episodes and has no significance to the plot.

That said, I kind of like the paper fortune teller element (although it might be hard to tell what it is without knowing). I also don't think it clutters things, in fact, I think it fills the empty "grass" space behind the character cutouts nicely. On a related note, I hope to add a few more tiny details on the cover, so it's probably going to get busier...

But let's see what others think... with or without the paper fortune teller thingy?

Ive never seen the show, and with the paper fortune teller thing for me as it gives the impression that the characters are coming out of it rather than just being stuck there

Is that a "yes" vote for the fortune teller?

Also, it ties into the retail DVD menus that have paper cuts of the characters popping out of the fortune teller...

Its a yes, you've certainly managed to capture the "Popping out" effect

I think folks tend to ignore giving advice to the MD's...



Actually I think it's the other way 'round - some MDs ignore advise given :bootyshake:

Really, I'm a bit sad about how the wip forum functions atm. I know for a fact that there are ppl out there, not commenting - even tho their opinions do matter. In the end - we all sometimes need help; a fresh pair of eyes....
Have we become too 'pat-on-the-back'???

Having thrown a ball up - I expect at least 3 - that's THREE - MDs to chime in on this!!!

Never really heard of this show, but I like this cover. I agree with BPM, I'd leave out the paper thingy, it's a bit too much IMO :)
