Well I thought I'd start a new thread to cover my progress on these babies.
These are the ones I've made most progress with.
Philosopher's Stone - front and back.
Goblet of Fire - front only
For those who saw the sneak peak a couple of weeks ago, I have now finished the ornate masthead. :wacko (oh, my eyes). It's featured on DPs in the first three films so I shall get some use out of it with a couple of Azkaban covers I have started.
The text is all accurate. I really need to spend some more time trying to identify the bit inside the "Keep your noses out" spiral. If anybody knows the font for the ornate capital letters I'd be very grateful. I assumed it would be Dover clip art, but I've bought "ornamental initials" book and they aren't there.
The back page is a ***** because my reference photo isn't so good. The bold text is exactly right, the paler text is a placeholder.
The GoF cover is tough because it has a lot of much smaller text. I know I have the top seven lines of text in exactly the right place. I need to check my references to see how much tweaking the rest needs.
If anybody can help me out with some detailed shots I shall be very grateful.
Oh yes, final note: the images are intentionally blurred and they have my logo ghosted over them to protect all the work I have done so far. I have a sense of humour failure when my work is sold on eBay by someone else.
