Disney Custom Cover Sets
Here is my first custom Disney Blu-ray/DVD cover:
Imagine, if you will, that in some alternate version of history, The Black Cauldron became the blockbuster it was meant to be. Naturally, we’d be getting a Diamond Edition release eventually, and it might look something like this…
I pieced this together from stuff found on the internet. Does anyone know what release the background image is from? I found it on Google Images.

Really GREAT job !!!
What I would do as well maybe is put the horned king in the right corner down on the Blu, where you have a little empty black spot!
But stil, awesome job man

By popular demand, here is my proposed "Diamond Edition" The Black Cauldron cover, now with the Horned King...
I had a hard time finding a picture of the Horned King at a decent resolution, and settled on using a picture of what I think was a resin statue or toy. I tried to make it look like it was drawn, but not sure how convincing this will come across!

it's a little too big compared with the others, try his one ( if you want offcourse )
But without the letter and maybe a little bigger ( just a suggestion, the artist still decides )
But still GREAT JOB MJW

Love the other covers that have been shared here. I hope to see more. I have my latest update on the one I've been working on. My main question is, is the spine easier to read? Does it look good? Thanks.
I hope to work on it some more soonish.

BEST COVER EVERMJW wrote:
If only he just matched the style of the other characters more, but seriously, I thought it was going to look worse with him in there filling space, but you proved me wrong like I never thought it could be.
stitchje1981, I think it looks like the Horned King is in front of the Cauldron, closer to us, so he's bigger!
pettla77, I also like your Tangled cover a lot!
Thanks Disney Duster Yep, it's supposed to look like the Horned King is in the foreground, while Taran & Co. are "foiling his plans" in the background, lol.
I just wish I could either get a better picture of the Horned King to start with, or work this one more to look like it was drawn alongside the characters in the background. I was working at a high resolution so it was hard finding a picture of the King that wasn't tiny and/or in a really bad quality.
pettla77, you're cover is excellent! I really like your use of black, it adds mystery and intrigue.
milojthatch, your case is turning out great too. I think the spine is just fine, it comes across as easy to read. It's a cool idea to group your movies in sets, it'll be a lot easier to organize them that way!

i rate it 4/5. the horned king is mismatched with the rest and a little scary to boot. also the image of taran and the spine are mismatched in angle.Disney Duster wrote:BEST COVER EVERMJW wrote:

Wow, The Black Cauldron cover looks amazing. Looks a lot like a cover Disney would put out, and even better than the ones they do. And I agree, the black corner does look auspicious to fit in the Horned King and maybe even Creeper.MJW wrote:Here is my first custom Disney Blu-ray/DVD cover:

You should try using some screen captures from this guy:

He has a whole library of Disney HD transfers including The Black Cauldron. Could make good use as reference.
Here's some reference pictures for possible use.
