Coov is of course respected here because he does great work consistently, and he's done a lot of it. He's been prolific, and everything he's done has been well thought out and original. I particularly like his use of textures, which has forced a lot of us to rethink the way we're doing our covers! I've learned a lot from studying his concepts. The few covers I've done have been Coov ripoffs. =) There is a hell of a lot of great work being done in this thread, a hell of a lot of great covers, and I always like seeing what everyone is coming up with.
What I hate is people who respond badly to positivity. You're annoyed because people are complimenting someone? I mean, it's not as if every post here is people insulting each other and then Coov gets all the respect - no, there's a lot of complimenting going on here for everyone, and all of it is deserved.
It's a positive atmosphere. Deal with that.
Speaking of positive, I like your work Pepsi, minus the attitude. All your disc art is really good, but your choice on Deleted Magic - I know I have a personal stake in this disc, but it's the same as your ANH disc! Deleted Magic needs to be different - either minimalist, or having deleted scenes images on it. Check out my own official cover for example.

Okay anyway, a little while back I posted some big scans from a certain book, of some of the common Star Wars posters and a few more obscure ones.

Hey somebody, do some covers with these scans! I DARE YA!
