Had a couple ideas for the back but decided to go with conventional images. Hope it works with the front..? (and isn't too boring)

Pics IMO working, but the JR drop shadow you do not forgive.

I think it will be posted:
"So many times I repeat, lose drop shadow :bottom:

"

Very nice for me

Personally i tend to prefer without drop shadows, i hardly ever use them. Like the way it's shaping up

Update:

Decided to remove the dark back bars and removed the SF drop shadow..

Also someone suggested colorizing Leon, I like the original above.

Would be good to have some of the vector work put onto the back as well?

I'm very impressed with how Natalie Portman's vector turned out on the front. I dont think people know how much work goes into that. I prefer the black and white ones over the colour and agree about loosing the drop shadow

A fast chip in.

PersonallyI think the drop shadow worx :P -perhaps drop the opacity even further tho

The version without drop-shadow looks great as well IMO. I much prefer the lines in the background layout without the humongous bevel tho

I'd lose it on the front as well

How about just desaturating Reno some more (don't go all b/w at first)? could look cool.

I totally agree with LCD about the Portman vector looks! Great!

Well I changed quite a bit..

Toned down Reno and changed all coloring to match, screens, TT, etc..

Got rid of the humongous bevel and added the background texture to the divider bars.

Added a slight drop shadow to features.

I decided to leave the back as is, I felt to make it work I would have to make a new back not just add illustrated ones.

So I'll wait a while for some comments but I think this is complete..... :whistle:
