Hey guys, the DVD Cover News here has been moved and integrated in with my site, Virtual Aftershock
Because of this, no more new news will be posted here. All new news will appear on the homepage of Virtual Aftershock
You can read up daily on the newest news the custom cover hobby there! Plus, you can check out the major changes that I have made to Virtual Aftershock, it’s a new look and feel!
Enjoy the new site and this for visiting this site while it was active!
Everyone has a COTM, it’s trendy now a days (remember where the concept started?).
Over at RTC, it’s Jaldomar who takes the cake. And here’s the prized cover:
Subject line say’s it all! Here’s the proof:
Ace has been making a splash in the cover scene as of late. This is one of his many great covers. Congratulations and way to go Ace!
So it looks like there have been some renovations over at R1DB: a new look (web 2.0ish), ability to subscribe to an rss feed, you can see the lates covers now without actually having to go to the covers section of the site, and it looks like they’re bringing back the voting system for covers.
The real question is…is this too little too late? With other cover sites having opened shop many long time R1DB users have left seeking added features and higher quality covers.
Haven’t had much of a chance to really dive deep into the site, but, just on first glance, the homepage looks similar (feature wise) to what RTC used to look like before Dagon’s recent upgrades.
Been a busy month. Graduate school and new internship has been crazy demanding as of late. Not to worry. Will get some new interviews and reviews up soon!

Check it out, it’s a pretty impressive “new” site Dagon has got up and running there. A very streamlined look, easy to navigate and pretty slick and sexy. I believe the first “cover” site to implement some web 2.0 elements. Replace The Case continues to innovate.
If you’ve been noticing odd changes or differences to R1DB then you may want to take a look at R1DB admin & founder, Jayhawk’s, official statement:
“OK! so, now that we’ve got the cover area working again…
here’s some small things that have changed, things we are still working on and aware of, and a general overview of what happened:
WHAT HAPPENED?!?!
well, basically we upgraded the kernel on the box (security) and support for PHP4 with the new kernel was dropped. We had to move to php5, which most of the scripts on the cover section didnt like (session info was broken). We’ve upgraded most of that, but almost all of our old scripts… no longer work.
Things we are still working on:
1. display credits under statistics in the cover profile
2. display credits on your posts in the cover section
3. display number of downloads on the coverThings that changed:
1. we are no longer hiding who uploaded what. I don’t think this is really a big deal anymore. you can still give credit to the artist, and if they ever want to participate on the site, it will be easier for them to know that they dont own it.
2. no longer sorting by “most popular” on the index. given we dont vote… didn’t make sense. I may add one for “most viewed”
Things that need to be corrected or errors you see:
(well, im getting sql errors emailed to me by the boat load still, but that doesn’t affect you)
Post what problems you see, or features that need to be reinstated. Errors… etc.
Thanks!”
Sort of. Looks like the old owner of DVDCoverart.com recently stopped by RTC to upload a cover. To no surprise, it’s a cover for the Zinema Bond Series. Looks like this is all he has been up to, cover wise. Anyway, we wish you all the best mattd. And if you ever want to do that interview…….
For those of you wanting a stunning set of covers for the Heroes series in HD, well, I really don’t think that you need to look any further. Here’s BunnyDojo’s vision:
*BTW, what did you guys think of the season 2 premier?
