Looks great, but maybe lower the head on the back just a little to get ride of that part of his top lip?

[invisigoth]

Head gone.
Smaller Spine TT.
Nightrider, I actually went back and forth with the lip when I first did it. I changed it for the new preview, no lip. not sure if it makes that much difference?

Old lip?

Actually now I'm sitting here looking at the middle back (syn, scrs, SF) and I'm thinking no. Hmmm back to the drawing board. :chin:

[bpmford]

Cool, looks good!

I say no lip, put the focus on the upper face (eyes).

[invisigoth]

Newer Back...

Still need to work on SF and not sure if I'll use the creature in the screens..

Better?

I miss some sort of connection between the front and back. While I like both, I think the front would benefit if you could use soe of the blue on the back.

[venome]

Are you able to put a hint of blue into the background art? it could make all the difference.
I dont know where it could fit in, but i remember that cool tagline... 'There's a new reason to be afraid of the dark' Possibly i'd lose the other names and just have Vin Diesel's name.

Um am I missing something here mate or isn't there already a fair amount of blue on the back?

Inivis, I'm with ford, think no lip is better and the focus on Vin's upper head is a good way to go.
You've probably tried, or don't want to But, what would it look like if Vin on the back was in color but you keep the blue in the SF area and over the screens?

Agree with V that tag line would be cool

Yeah Nightrider you misunderstood JR. Maybe it would have sounded better if he said "from the back".
As far as the back pic goes I'd rather not colorize.(It's originally blue) All this blue is from the movie as you probably know. The movie is in blue, orange and dark/night. My original thought with the front pic was to contrast all the blue, but that isn't too popular..


The lip thing is no big deal to me, are you saying I didn't crop out enough? or it's ok now.

Yeah Vman I may change the front texts as you mentioned. Keep in mind, at the start of this thread I switched to a "UK" version for the requester. He's happy with his version so I've gone back to the regular US release like I started originally. (the basic difference being Unrated directors cut) I probably should have explained all that better along the way. Since the original B/W background, per Clints suggestion I've put some blue into the background and added a blue lens flare under the planet. I'll probably attempt something more dramatic with the blue..

So I'll take all the above suggestions and hopefully get back with a more integrated front and back.
