PepsiOtaku, thank you for the instructions.

And I want to say it's always nice to see customs for the Special Editions because there aren't nearly as many for them as there are for the OOT - on this forum that makes sense, but you know what I mean.

In case you didn't know, that image is in fact only half. The right hand side features characters from the prequels. Given that, if there was a scan of that second half of the image it would allow someone like yourself to create a similar cover to the SE one you've shown, that would feature the prequels. Not asking for one, just letting you know. Though it would make for a neat join-up on the spines.

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!

Pepsi, is there an easy way to highlight what you don't want desaturated in black? Or do you have to paint it out manually in black?

I actually like the washed-out one, Pepsi. How did you acheive that effect? With the background desaturated and the characters in full color?

Hey pepsi, what printer do you use? I'm assuming those are printed on the dvd and not stuck on labels? I've used the R300 when doing my printing to discs (the R series seems to be a popular choice). But i noticed you had the printing right up to the edge and ive noticed (depending on the design) that sometimes im left with a small unprinted border around the edge (outer mostly, sometimes inner). I've gotten the settings pretty good, sometimes when the holes are already in the image it still gets problems, i think it works best to leave the image as a square.

anyway, starting to ramble. was wondering what your printing method for the discs was. maybe see if theres a better program out there than the one that came with the epson, or better settings for the size within the epson printer.

The simplicity of my work not only is a preference of mine and a few others in here... but because there are SOOOO many transfers, edits, etc. that the creators can just take what I have done, and slap whatever the heck they want to on the back. Anyone who feels my work is incomplete looking because of simplicity, complete it to how you see fit. I don't get paid for this, and I would keep doing them if there was no one to share them with. It is all in fun.

Well, first you attack one of the most respected and appreciated members of this forum, completely unprovoked. Then, you refuse to provide a box template when asked. What exactly did you come here for, PepsiOtaku? To contribute to the forum? Or to get your dick sucked over your design? Because truth be told, I find your design lackluster and unoriginal, we've seen it a thousand times over. Too bad it took you "a year" to figure it out. Its only redeeming value (which is a mild novelty, at best) is that it's plastered onto the side of a box, which opens up the possibility for other (better) artists to come along and create something worth using. But the real issue here is not your shoddy, re-hashed design, as we would've politely given some constructive criticism to a new forum member who was polite to everyone else...

But, the fact is, you don't have a right (in your THIRD POST) to trash Coov's work based solely on the fact that he gets a lot of praise. Especially when you haven't earned ANY respect for yourself. It might not be your cup of tea, but for me, Coov's streamlined designs, (free from being bogged down by plot synopsis', lists of bonus features, credits, etc, etc) are both unique and elegant. His work is bold and consistently good, in my opinion. He gets praise obviously because his work appeals to people. Personally, it's all I want on my shelf.

Not to mention the fact that Coov is a heck of a nice guy who is always contributing to this forum, and helping the people on it. What he doesn't do is show up waving something in your face saying "look what I did", while dumping all over other forum members.

I'm embarrassed for you.

Aw c'mon- don't hate. You did a REALLY good job at being a dick in your third post. Kudos!
