HiResCovers.net

I started this the other night not realizing how many similar covers are already out there. Oh well, right? No harm in one more...

Another Gladiator cover? Oh God, me likes this one
Love the simplicity Tim, front looks done to me!

I agree with Felipe, loving the simplicity Tim. I don't think i have anything to add... apart from keep up the good work ;-)

Very nice! Love the colors!

I like the simplicity but Idk Bunny it almost looks too white maybe it's just me, can you come up with another front just to see if there could be something better?

Nice job as always

Not sure I dig the cut off head. (there it is again! )

Call me simplistic or simply crazy but how would it look without the picture of Crowe, and just the colosseum as the standalone image?

I like how you cropped to get in close so its less about his gear and more about the man under it. Im drawn to his eyes, which is a cool artistic choice. Love how you desaturated everything but flesh. Might i suggest turning up opacity of the colloseum just a wee bit, maybe by 2 points?

Thanks for all of the comments, guys! I was a little borderline on moving forward with this one, but I'm going to have to keep going.

I can't disagree with you there. I'm afraid that in the process of trying to do something apart from my DVD cover and the nice sepia-toned versions out there, I've ended up moving pretty far -- probably too far -- from the style of the movie. It's starting to grow on me the more I stare at it, though.

Very nice thought, it actually looked a lot better than I would have thought, but I've poured too much time into the Crowe image to let myself go for it. Here's a peek, though, just to quell your curiosity.



So, all sorts of adjustments, additions, and subtractions, and it ends up looking pretty much the same. I was really hoping to get the confetti to work in the foreground with a few pieces in front of Crowe, but it ended up looking like he was in a little kid's birthday party.

Perhaps make the TT a little more golden?
