Only as a suggestion. The Rey front cover art is terrific. Thank you so much. This thread inspired me to try this out, so I'm happy that these are decent. I can get the technical credits off the web and do a whole package, so yes I now understand what you mean about the throne room cover. The Rey cover art is my favorite too. That one was fun. I'm working on a SOLO cover as well, using that early art with the yellowish backing and Han, Lando, Qi'ra, and Chewie, as well as the Falcon. The formatting on that one is a bit tricky.

Popular Post The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted August 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2018 I decided to spend my free time this week literally drawing and designing my own cover art for Rogue One. Everything from front covers, to back covers, to spines. I made two, one with Jedha as the main focus and the other with Scarif as the main focus. They are for my eventual burn of a OST FYC edit. What do you think of the good old hand made covers? The Jedha set is my personal favorite and I don't quite like how Scarif turned out scale-wise. pete, Taikomochi, Pieter Boelen and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My soulless Photoshop creations could never compete with hand-made work like that. Haha! Yes! I was going through some of yours on hqcovers and I absolutely love them. They just weren't quite what I was looking for. I was looking for something much too precise and tailored for me. The only way I could do that was to draw them myself. I traced the logo but the drawings are original. It took me four hours but heck it was fun! I never posted them but I did back covers and spines as well. Thanks for the appreciation. Now that Solo is out on Blu Ray and people are doing rips and edits and what not, do we have some fan made Solo covers coming in? I'm going to get busy on one in hope for an FYC in December or something. Then I can whip up a quick combo playlist and get drawing! Anyone started thinking of things yet?
