Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of "black" covers. Here some variations based on comments.

from what edulopez asked for. UK

wow! u r getting killed with suggestions, hehe I had some myself, but not worthy, I'd like to know the thought behind the split block that Vin's pic is in.
and I guess I think it could benefit from matching the black levels between the two pics.

Haha that's dangerous Chef asking about my thought process. For this one I guess it's got nothing to do with the movie. The resources out there are like a hand full of crappy posters and screenshots so I thought I'd find the coolest image of Vin and put a contemporary spin on it and keep it simple. or not

I was originally hoping to incorporate one of the creatures on the front as well (because of the tagline) but I couldn't really do anything I liked, plus the creature images I found weren't so good.

I tend to do wips quickly so they don't drag on so when I think everyone is happy I go back and basically redo the cover so hopefully it will look better than the previews..!

Well Chef got me thinking about the front so I had an idea here on my lunch break. Maybe I can incorporate the eclipse from the movie on the front?

This is a 5 minute job, I don't even know if I'm going to use this eclipse but you get the idea.

I like the idea of the eclipse, but I think you have the order wrong.
Maybe have 'vin diesel' where the TT is, and the TT over the eclipse?

love the new front, its brilliant. I like the back on the first cover in post #11 the best.

great work mate
