The Comic Book Collection by Kernie

[Punisherchad]

I'm printing those CROW COVERS TODAY DAMMIT, WHAT FINE WORK! MASTERFULL! The Shadow cover may be the best cover I've ever seen, no BS. LOVE THE CROW SYMBOLS ON THE BACK COVERS!

Well I finally found a cover for judge Dredd, thank you. Excellent additions to this collection kernie, top notch as always. Keep up the great work!

I may have said "great job" four or five times in this thread already. Let me say it one last time: The Crow covers are badass.

Damn, Andrew! This collection is still so cool. Thx for the new additions! They fit perfectly into your template Keep 'em coming!

Howz the Tales of the Black Freighter covers coming along?

No progress yet.

The Black Freighter muse hasn't visited me. Hopefully the mood will strike me sometime.

Jeez... I give you guys 200 FREE covers and you never fail to say, "Yeah, but what about...?"

JR, didn't you want a Black Freighter cover that matches my non-Comic-Book-Collection Watchmen cover? To be honest, I'm not even sure how to do that and that's what has been holding me up on the whole thing... maybe some ideas of what you're thinking would help get the ball rolling?

I was in the process of reformatting my entire computer when you popped out the latest batch. I didn't express how much it means to me that you did a Crow set, they are phenomenal, I love the rain effect and the tt, I love them SO much! The Dredd cover really pops, did you have to do some work on the reflection on his helmet, I've never seen it look so good. I bought the Rocketeer the other day in anticipation for what you have coming. I only have a handful of covers left and I'll have the entire collection that I own of comic movies dressed in your AMAZING covers!

you must help me finish my collection :hypnotise:

[Kernie]

Punisherchad, which titles do you need to complete your collection?

You know how I work... I can't promise when I'll get to them, but I will get to them.

Glad you like the Crow covers! And I didn't really do much to Dredd's helmet except for some Levels and Hue/Saturation adjustments. However, if you look at the actual poster art below, you'll notice that it's just Dredd's head (and I didn't actually use the low-res example below, it's just what I grabbed off google to demonstrate), I added the shoulders/upper body from the second image because I didn't like how his head just floated on black (it made the cover look a lot less interesting). I'm actually surprised how well the two blended together, considering how one's a photo and the other is an illustration.

And I also didn't care for the original title treatment fonts (including the TT from the comic books), so I went down a different direction with the overused "Machine" font. I try not to do that too often, I like to use the actual TT's, but something just wasn't working for me this time.

[Punisherchad]

I thought you added the shoulders but it looks so good I thought "there's no way he did that" I should have known better! That is amazing! Definitely agree on using the comic tt rather than the machine font.
Listing because you asked:



Spawn
Wanted
30 Days of Night
Road to Perdition
A History of Violence
Constantine
The Rocketeer

I know you mentioned you have some of these in process, but there they are since you asked.
Thanks again for the quality covers! The Dredd cover and the Shadow cover are cover of the year for me and I don't even own the shadow!

Hi,

just wanted to let you know your covers are the main reason above all I joined this site.
They are INCREDIBLE. The ones who make the official covers for the studios are just amateur hacks compared to what you've delivered here.

I'm impressed beyond words, thank you for your hard work!!!
