The Bash 09: start to finish

Here I'll show what I started with all the way to the finished cover for my Bash 09 retro style cover.

Here is the original Bash 88 cover that this cover is based on:


Now I didn't follow suit and use the same logo, so I edited another classic logo one in which was used for this Bash 86' cover:


I didn't create my own logo or anything, went with this one from psdprotolcol



Then I started...


My first idea was to have Rey on the front, because it looked best in terms of how the original looked, because I wanted a pic with ropes and what not like the original.

But that to me just did look right, so I went with this..


So after adding Orton and HHH (psd came from again psdprotolcol) I had to get the font looking right, that wasn't to easy.

From there it was on to the spine, and getting it to look like the real thing, color wise anyway.


Then I added another PSD to the back, I did that cut my self.


Now the real back bone IMO to making this cover look good at all is the overlay I used, in other words the texture. You can find it here at deviantART CLICK HERE for the texture.

After all that it was on to adding the match card, doing thats never fun, like getting it all lined up and looking good. And placement, its never fun.


Not much done here just some small tweaks..



And here it is the finished cover in all its glory, you can find a link to the full cover on the WCF forums.

WIP: The Bash 2009 custom

As I said I would show off my Bash custom cover here first.

SO anyway just started on this late last night, one day before the PPV, unless I work real hard on it tonight, and I don't think I will, it just wont get done until some time next week, I'd like to say well before the weekend, but who knows. Check back for many more previews for this cover.

Delaying one to start another...

Instead f starting my Bash 2009 cover like I had planned instead I'll be starting on a Summerslam 1989 custom cover.

Coming soon...

By this time next week on about June 16th, I will be showing off an early preview of my WWE "the Bash" custom cover, unlike where I post all of my covers, I will be showing off the cover in a more detailed progress here, then I would there, where as in WCF I might only show off the preview once it gets looking good, or just when its has a front made, I don't really care to show off many in my progress to finishing my cover, but I do always keep many previews.
