First up, Please, these are here as freebies - please don't make copies to sell for profit. I promise Bad Toy Karma to any who do. Anyhow, this is a small assortment of paperbacks from Baghead's bookshelves. Missing are the complete covers I found while Googling - instead these are either scans from my own collection or pieced together from various sources online (sometimes with a custom spine added) so they're ones you probably wouldn't find anywhere else. Just download the original size file, print onto paper of your choice (it should fit onto a sheet of A4), cut out and glue around bits of card, wood etc. They're designed to be printed out at 372dpi (giving an average paperback a height of 2.718 cm or just over an inch for the Imperial folk) probably not authentically scaled, but it should give a book that doesn't look too out of place in either a doll's dainty hand or a GI Joe's big mitt. If you want to change the size remember it's best to alter the dpi resolution you're printing at rather than the actual pixel by pixel size as that way there won't be any drastic degradation in image quality. Enjoy!
There's the usual Bad Toy Karma/Don't Anger the Toy Gods warning about printing these out for sale and your own financial gain. But here's another selection of books from Baghead's shelves. culled from my own collection or stitched together from scans & photos off the interweb (often with some extra editing work to add the missing spine) Just download the original size file, print onto paper of your choice (this file *should* fit onto a sheet of A4 but best to run off a quick test draft first to make sure before you up the print quality!), cut out and glue around bits of card, wood etc. hey're designed to be printed out at 372dpi (giving an average paperback a height of 2.718 cm or just over an inch for the Imperial folk) probably not authentically scaled, but it should give a book that doesn't look too out of place in either a doll's dainty hand or a GI Joe's big mitt. If you want to change the size remember it's best to alter the dpi resolution you're printing at rather than the actual pixel by pixel size as that way there won't be any drastic degradation in image quality. Hope to have a 3rd and (for now) final set of covers uploaded a little later today. Have fun!
Yeah, I know, just what the planet needs, yet another Blog. But this one is the OFFICIAL Blog of Illustration-ist, cartoonist, humor- mongerist, greasy Stooge-Shemp Howard-enthusiast, Danny Thomas glass coffee table ponderist Drew Friedman! Happier now?
