@Steffromuk That Star Wars Anthology cover is masterful!  I've seen that Tom Jung art as a b&w sketch.  Did you color it, or did you find a color source?  I love it.

Thanks! I found a color source but it was in bad shape and I had to do some heavy restauration work on it and some AI upscale too, since the image was quite small, as you can see below.

I think the only thing I can't really get behind is the overlay dark, over-sharpened Struzan painting. In case you  need a better source, here you go:

That's great work, although I did love the inclusion of Joel McM's signature on the original version... agh, decisions!

Here is my complete cover set for Ramin Djawadi's 3 Body Problem S1: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBibLE

 

I really like the show and thought that the art designs for the promotional material, including the character posters (which are often dull) were inventive so I tackled most of the available material. To access the covers click the Flickr link!

The Rare Breed - I really like that, though feel some additional text is necessary - original soundtrack or somesuch?

 

 

 

Thank you. I've left it simple and ambiguous as I plan to use it for the Nic Raine conducted suite. But here is a version with 'Original Soundtrack'.

Wow, where do you keep getting these incredible source images from?

 

I think it's great, the only thing that bothers me is that the "Pete" at the bottom right is hard to read. In such cases I always edit the source image so that the font stands out more and a certain distance to similar colors in the background is maintained. I try to avoid drop shadows as much as possible.

Thanks @heidl,

it's been corrected.

 

This visual is actually a collector action figure I found online. it looks better than the alien in the movie I think

Do you have the covers for the Thrawn Trilogy with art by Tom Jung?
