Here is a great idea by our good friend Bunny Dojo. All you have to do, is pick your favourite cover by the member that last posted. So whoever posts in reply to this, should post a preview of one of my covers, with maybe a brief description of why they like that cover. If the previous member does not have a cover in the gallery, then you may pick any cover from the gallery.

Please post your covers with a link (the same as Guess The Cover). If you are unsure how to do that, have a look at the Guess The Cover Rules.

I will start with an example of one of Bunny's covers, as this thread is his idea.

Rebecca by Bunny Dojo


Why this cover? Probably because of following the WIP and getting to really appreciate what Tim does when making these old movies look so vibrant and modern. And the finished article still makes me say wow whenever I see it.

With so many amazing covers, it's really hard to just choose one, hopefully I will get a chance to pick some more of your covers later on. I've gone trough your gallery and found out that there were 7 covers that I really liked and now I might as well pick one at random, but I went for:

Simply because everything about it seems to be so perfect. I really like what you did with the TT, the SF with the background and ss coming together real nice, well the whole cover tbh. For me it's one of your very best (if not your best) so far. Not sure if I should mention other "nominees", but for the fun of it, I also really like these: Maleficent, Hunger Games - Catching Fire, The Lookout, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Divergent & We Own the Night.

Edit: Also, what a brilliant idea, props to you for thinking of it :cheers:

Great idea! I hope this thread is getting as interesting and big as "Guess the cover"! :cheers:

To reply speeds post I've choosen his Suicide Squad:



You're not doing too many WIPs but when you do you always listen to advices and you always try to implement them. When I have a look to your covers I really think by constantly using the WIP section you've improved your skills a lot and in my personal opinion your Suicide Squad is a good example (really nice layout, matching colours on the images and characters, choice of fonts etc.) to emphazise that!

So many to choose from but I'll gof with your Taken Collection.



The whole cover fits the movies perfectly! All the colours used work really well together, the work on the TT is great and both the collages (front and back) are really well done.

PS. Really like the idea of this and sorry for whoever has to do mine, I know I've not got many to choose from and majority of them aren't that great.

Thank you for your really kind words Speedzor. This game was Bunny Dojo's idea though, so I cannot take the credit for it :)

I still remember the WIP from this, and it was 10 years ago! It's a fine example of how WIP helps to make great covers :)

ctaulbee / The Hateful Eight



I remember you mentioning this as your 1000th upload, and then it was also your first Cover of the Month win here and received tremendous download numbers. Getting to see you take a couple of well-earned victory laps on this one added to the enjoyment of an already top-rate ctaulbee cover.

When it comes to choose a cover from my fav cover designer, it's hard to pick just one... however, this is one of my top 3 and the reason i selected this one is mainly because it's amazing what Bunny did with so litle. Using only screencaps from the movie, this cover represents perfectly the movie. It show us a splendid typography with some funny stills but it's the vibrancy of the cover that made me pick this as one of my top 3 from Bunny.
