Originally posted by: casualimpDon't get me wrong, if I were in the same position Falle and Jupiter Prime were in regarding their cover sites I'd go with the donation route myself. I think the pay access POV is to limit the spread of an artists content in the internet. I see this in a lot of the pay cover forums. Many of the artists would prefer those seeking out their work to go straight to the source. Now, in Coov's and Rik's case (correct me if I'm wrong) they only create Star Wars content and this is the source to showcase their work. OT.com isn't a pay site, but if it were I'm sure they'd want others to go straight to the source for their covers (ie here). I'm sure when Sith Angel gets his site online, he'll go the pay or donate route too. I think it's our nature to want a little compinsation for our efforts even if they come from copyrighed material. What if you commisioned a local artist to draw a picture of Spider-man for example. So what I tell you is true, from a certain point of view.
Drawing spider-man yourself would be different from using official licenced spider-man material, wouldn't it? Rik has (correct me if I'm wrong) requested that people repost his covers if needed - isn't that right Rik?
Thanks Rik for posting some of JP's covers... I second the motion to upload more of his covers.
Originally posted by: tellanthese were the covers I made for a poxy malaysian set two or three years ago. this is long before I ever started doing my capture from the DE LD's.
it was a crappy constant bit rate capture, too dark, horrible colours etc but I was quite proud of the covers at the time. I could do a lot better now and will once I get my set finished but this is just to let people see them.
star warsempirejedi also, here are some smallish shots of some of my static menus.
each movie has 48 chapter stops and has 7 menus. one main screen that leads to six chapter menu pages and all of them have different looping music tracks taken from the appropriate movies soundtrack.
the extras discs have one or two pages each but I designed them to flow from one disc to the other, see attached montage.
these are all anamorphic menus but I am showing them here as they would appear on a TV screen.
