Nick TMNT DVD Fan Covers!

FifthTurtles81 · 11-17-2019, 09:36 AM

Apologies if Im posting this in the wrong forum, but I just wanted to show off some custom DVD covers I did for all 5 seasons of the 2012 Nick TMNT series.

I'm brand new to the forums and brand new to making DVD covers, so any feedback, comments or queries would be appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Those are absolutely terrific. I did something very similar way, way back for the Iron Man animated series of the 90's before those ever had an official release. It's a lot of fun.

It's clear you put some effort into those covers! -thumb's up-

Thanks, man!
Oh, I wasn't able to include my cover for season 5- Tales Of The TMNT. as I could only upload 4 images at a time, so here it is:

Very nice. Would say that its a shame that they don't fit the actual DVD releases, for replacement of the commercial inserts.

Way cool, nice work on them!

Oh! They actually do fit the dvd releases, they're exact dvd template sizes, I just had to resize them to meet the maximum KB upload for pics on here.

Or, unless you're in a country where Paramount released the big thick dvd sets?
In the UK, the boxsets are just single dvd cases with all 4 discs inside!

No, my point is that here in the States, at least, they were released in multiple volumes per season, not in complete collections. You could find the original and put it in a case, but it wouldn't match up due to the point that there are like thirteen-ish different cases in the complete collection, not five.

Still like the artwork, though.

Thanks! It's based on the NES game cover from back in the day!

In turn, it is based on a Mirage cover.

Yeah, issue 7 I believe? Normally you only see the issue 1 cover get the redo with the current TMNT incarnations, so I had to use this image (I believe it was done for the Danger Of The Ooze videogame title screen?) as soon as I saw it!

I was wanting all the covers to sort of reference TMNT of the past, that's why I had the issue 1 cover for season 1, the Secret Of The Ooze cover for season 2 and the NES cover for season 3. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with anything in that vein for season 4 and with Tales Of (Season 5), I knew I had to use some of those stark silhouetted images from the intro, because I loved the look of them so much.

Funnily enough, season 4 ended up being my favourite in the end. I'm pleased I managed to get the hokey/cheesy 70's sci fi style I was hoping for.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
