Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Covers

[Paris]

Come on guys show Keno some love :arms:

The color of Rahzar is really bugging me, I'll have to make more color adjustments on the characters...

It's nice to see someone putting so much work into creating wonderful, complex compositions for unexpected films like the Turtles series.

The left 'num nums' guy would probably blend more with the design if you were to manually bring his green skin up in vibrancy to match closer to the turtles'.

I'm tempted to say that it would be nice to have Raphael and Keno looking at either of the bad guys. Maybe you could have a shining green light or a hint of Shredder hand on the far left just so their expressions make more sense? And I know it's going to get very crowded, but perhaps having Leonardo fly in from the left would balance things out?

Also, could you add your latest preview of Turtles 3 in here too, just so we can get an idea of the series?

Great work, I'm a big fan of the effort and am looking forward to seeing where you take things from here.

Thanks Bunny, but I currently have nothing for Turtles III (back to square one but will start soon). I started on the first movie today and think the back layout could apply to all three movies :arms:

Still iffy on what to put under the synopsis...

I like the new back, not sure what to suggest under the synopsis yet but the rest looks great

I like everything except for the stills, it looks like you're still figuring out what to do there, but I don't think the three angled photo frames works. A still strip might be better in this case? Or add a fourth photo and overlap them?

[Paris]

Thanks for the input guys! I think the box will just contain text; synopsis, quote, and special features. The top compositions should make up for the lack of images on the back. I'm replacing Mickey with a livelier promo shot. Almost finished with the credits.

I'm wide open for suggestions on the front, layout and composition

Looks good... I love the top composition! Very nice arrangement, background color and texture!

The front could include all four turtles, possibly full body shots, arranged in some sort of cool "action" pose, with a background that's either in a New York City street, alley, rooftop, or sewer? Maybe some ooze, pizza, trash cans, skateboards, or weapons included somehow? Just trying to offer some ideas for imagery...

The back is really cool so far!!

My only tiny suggestion is to move Donatello over just a bit so the bar code doesn't go into his head or reduce the size of the bar code.

Reduce the size of the barcode? How can i explain this (again)... if you decide to go for a retail look for your custom cover, using a template with all the logos, spec box and barcode, you need to do it respecting all the elements. You can't reduce a barcode with the purpose of avoid having an image covered by part of the barcode. In this case Donatello's head looks fine and i can't see any problem with that small part of the barcode covering his head. If he decides he wants his head totally visible he should remove the barcode, not reduce it's size.

Oh... and this isn't nothing against you RRJR84. But this theme is soooooooooooo old and i'm tired to see people claiming by the use of barcodes.
Best advice to all who dislike the use of barcodes: start doing your own covers!!

Sorry for the off-topic Paris.

Its okay Ark, I really don't mind as long as feedback goes with the complaint
