Some of my previous sets:

 Your TPM and AOTC designs are ver similar to the ones i have designed just few days ago, obviously you did them first so feel really depressed now lmao

They are a re-hash of what I did quite a while back...

Im strongly suspecting that was my origanal template used there. A load of e-bay sellers used it after i uploaded it here. Although you can get the backing cards in high rez on the net if u know where to look. No worries.

Thin pack though double 0?

Do you still have me rapidshare link for the concept art?

I found the template I used at the Forgotten Force Ultimate Resource Guide.  It's pretty low res, which is why I wanted to start again.  Do you have templates at a higher res?

Yes, originally my ANHR was in a thin pack (they were cheap and take up less space on my shelf), so I figured there was some demand there.  Then I got a 4 DVD box and put all 4 versions in one box (DVD9, DVD5, PURIST, XVID).

I don't still have it, its floating around on the ESB & ROTJ Thread I believe.

Vincent, there's a copy of that McQuarrie book on ebay right now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350270989355&ssPageName=ADME:B:ONA:US:1123

It's around $50.

Dammit! Haven't checked back in a while... too busy at the mo and missed that ebay item. Not that I can afford it at all right now anyway... but cheers for the heads up. Really, really wanna get that item!

oh and yeah... will be posting more covers soon. An alternate ROTJ, and an edited ANH... people can take their pick if anyone wants to download hi-rez ones. Have begun work on a more retrofied PT cover lot. Also will be posting some alternate covers soon...

I'm looking for higher quality versions of these images for a DVD cover set I'm starting to work on. Anyone know of a site?

I love that Hoth pic... had it on my wall as a kid, torn out of a magazine. Thanks all.

try these

Is it just me, or does Han's head look incredibly big in that last Hoth one?

Perhaps you're thinking of:

Yeah, maybe they modeled that head after that photo..

Okay... here we go. You've seen some of this before, but there's some new stuff here... all these covers are available for anyone that wants them. Just message me your email address and which ones you want and I'll mail 'em on over! Peace.

1. Star Wars - A New Hope : REVISITED (Cover Version 1)

2. Star Wars - A New Hope : REVISITED (Cover Version 2)

[This one was modifyed to fit the theme running through each cover set by The Empire Strikes Back poster used, and a theme that will run into the prequels too. This one may yet still get modifyed more if I can figure out how to make the Death Star and Vader a little bigger but in proportion to the rest of the cover]

3. Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back : REVISITED

4. Star Wars - Return Of The Jedi : REVISITED (Cover Version 1)

5. Star Wars - Return Of The Jedi : REVISITED (Cover Version 2)

[Just an alternate version to keep with the theme of the retro poster look. Also a colour change. If I can find a better version of the poster used this will be smarted up sometime... as it displays a crease across the pic... booo!!!!]

Now, the following covers use a great series of retro-style artwork by a guy named Tom Whalen... you may have seen his artwork before, I love it and fancied using it for a cover collection. It may not be to everyone's taste, but to me it makes it all feel very cool indeed... enjoy!

6. Star Wars - A New Hope : REVISITED (COMIC-STYLE)

7. Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back : REVISITED (COMIC-STYLE)

8. Star Wars - Return Of The Jedi : REVISITED (COMIC-STYLE)

That's all folks!!!

I must stress, like with anything on this thread... I have used this artwork currently without permission. Bad, bad me. That's why we all know that no money is changing hands over any of this. I would hate for Tom Whalen to hunt me down and gut me like a fish! I think of it as a design project only... at least that's what I'm gonna say in court.

It's a design project of course :)

Those are pretty awesome btw.

Pretty awesome... except that the Comic Return of the Jedi says Empire Strikes Back on the spine.

Do I get partial credit now?  ;)

Good call my young Padawan! :)

Ha ha haaa!!!! Good spot! I seemed to have uploaded the wrong JPEG! Whoops! Be rest assured... it does actually say Return Of The Jedi on the spine!

Ah... that's better!

Another good spot. Laziness crept in there me thinks! Then again I did all three in about 2 hours... so I'm kinda not surprised... shit like that always passes me by! Bah!

Yes, a very nice set of covers by ChainsawAsh, xhonzi and (to some degree) VincentSmalls.

Vincent - I PM'ed you my email address.

Also, here's a quick-n-dirty edit of how to do the larger image with the frame.  I just overlayed one on top of the other and cut out the parts I didn't need.  Obviously you can do the proper version, this is just proof of concept.

(shhhh!  We're taking credit for most of Vinnie's work since we pointed out a few minor details.  Don't be too noisy about it or you'll throw the whole game!)

Busted! Actually Ziz... that's pretty good! What I wanted to do originally was a scaling thing so that the main characters were smaller in the picture and then have Vader and Death Star that actual size... but it was a bit of a headache. Might give it a whirl today though. Guess we'll have to credit you too!

Also... aware of email addresses sent... however there are a few minor details I want to correct myself... and I'm actually waiting to hear back from the guy who did the art I used on the front of the comicbook-style covers. These ones may not be available in full rez, as I don't want to piss the guy off as my production group might be commissioning him for some work in the near future!
