Has anybody come up with a decent cover for Hellboy II - deluxe.

Normally, I wouldn't ask, but Varese seems bent on hiring the least talented graphic artist they can find for their deluxe editions, vulgar, simplistic, unrefined.... these are a few of their characteristics. In contrast, I've noticed many a fine work on this thread. Perhaps, you should send your portfolios to Varese. It wouldn't hurt to try.


As much as I agree with you on Serenity and a few others like the visually offensive The Matrix phone booth cover.
I think picking Mike Mignola's strong art for Hellboy was a great idea.

He's the creator of Hellboy after all.

And I really like the minimalism of the cover.

Yeah, THE MATRIX cover was lame, I did like the SERENITY though, and I think the HELLBOY II cover is great.

I have to admit I know nothing of Hellboy, the comics, the 'artist' or the films. Nonetheless, the artwork appears kindergarten level on the face it. It's almost its if there is a deliberate effort to dumb down the arts at play these days.

Thanks for the info, though.

I've updated my previous Alternate cover for Honey I shrunk the Kids in my earlier post.

And made another variation

Yeah, great stuff. Of all the official poster art for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, this is my favorite.

I’ve been working on custom cover artwork for the James Bond series, including the films, video games, and a few special editions. Can someone advise how I can attach images to this post?

Thanks

You can only upload them somewhere else, and then link to the image directory framing the link with [ i ] and [ /i ] tags (without the spaces).

If you hit quote on any post with an image, you can see where and how they added it.

Thanks for the directions!

As mentioned, I’ve been working on some custom art for the James Bond series. While I appreciate the official artwork and many of the great custom covers created by others, I wanted to try and introduce a consistent style across the collection.

For these covers, I used the 4K Blu-Ray editions of most of the Daniel Craig films from Casino Royale to Spectre as my guide. For the earlier films in the series, I referred to the most recent Blu-Ray covers. Although some of these were less than ideal (Licence To Kill's cover did Dalton dirty...), I do have a fondness for a few, like The World Is Not Enough, which evokes a Man on Fire vibe. I also created covers for the unofficial films Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again, as their Blu-Ray covers were particularly lacking.

When it came to the video games and other specials, the resources were more limited, but I did my best. I might revisit these to create a tone more aligned with the films in the future.

I hope you enjoy the artwork. This is my first time creating covers like this, so if you spot any errors or have any feedback, please let me know!

You can't. What you have to do is host the images on some public picture or file sharing service like flickr or dropbox, and link them here using the "img" markup command.

If you click reply to any post that has done this, you'll see the syntax.

Cheers
