Sure. I'm gonna be out most of the day, but later tonight or tomorrow, I'll see what I can grab.

Got it on the second one, but can you give me an episode number for the first? I'm a little fuzzy on that.
As for the third season, the only screencap I have in mind is when Freeza does his final blast at Goku before Goku just blasts it right back at him. I'm open for any other screencaps for the other two.
Got it, and I'll find something cool for the other two.
For season four, I figured I'd just take something from each saga. So, just get anything cool looking from the Garlic Jr. Saga.
Okey doke. I'll get a menacing shot of Garlic himself, or something.
...though if you have anything else in mind for any of the season sets, feel free to bring 'em up. I haven't seen a good part of the series, so I might be missing out on something.
A'ight, I'll keep an eye out.

I personally think a cover like this would look pretty badass.

With a few edits, of course.

^ I might if I'll end up using the Toei ("Toei-esque"?) images instead of the kanzenban ones. Though from the looks of things, I'll probably stck with the kanzenban images because they're easier to "set up" on the page.

Are you going do the Sayain Saga cover in the kanzenban style to match all the other ones??? Also are you going to add the Androids to the season 4/trunks cover?

I'm trying to design a SSJ5 Goku wearing the clothes from Toyble's manga on Adobe Illustrator and do a Dragon Ball AF Season 1 box. :lol:

Well I've already got my Season 1 set re-done with SelMod's cover, but I might redo it with the kanzenban images for anyone who wants me to.

(facepalms) Eh, keep the rumor strong, I guess...

Now that I'm getting a bit further in these covers, I've been wondering how I should put these sets up for download. Should I do something like megaupload or will making a full res jpeg version available on my deviantart do the trick?

The latter should be fine.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

That would be good that way they are all the same style, To have all seasons like selmods design with kanzeban images would be awesome.

Well, for full size DVD covers the best bet is to either WinZip or WinRAR them and then upload 'em to Megaupload.

I went and attempted a cover of what the Dragon Ball GT "Remastered" Season 1 set might look like:

Image

I got the SSJ4 Goku picture from Toei's DBGT site.

I would use the Japanese logo... But I know FUNimation would never use it.
Plus, I couldn't find a decent picture of the Japanese Logo.

Yes. I got it specifically off the characters section:

This link will send you to the characters section.

For those of you who really enjoyed the 'Ultimate Uncut' line of DVD covers (I know I did), I've decided to create custom covers for the Season Sets with the same style, in the same light as or good friend DaemonCorps (who's emulating the style of the Dragonball covers). It features unreleased artwork from the cancelled 'Ultimate Uncut' series (I think), and Krillin + Vegeta that I drew and coloured. It's only about 50% complete, and displayed at about 20% of it's original size (estimate). Expect the finished version to be of a high quality. So, tell me what you think:

Any suggestions/critique? I wanna make this look OFFICIAL. I don't want anyone to expect this is fan-made. No inside-jokes. No bull.

I think it looks great, my only issue (which is minor) is that you're not using a picture of Saiyan saga Vegeta. :P

Wow man that looks wonderful. How do you get the same font that they use, like where you wrote "Season One"?

And also, do you have the pictures of the 3 cancelled covers? I'd really like to have them. Thanks and great job.
