I think the cover drawings look fine. Mulan does look kind of depressed though but it still looks good.

I agree. This is a little depressing pic of Mulan but I believe it fits the movie! Keep up the good work! :thumb:

Will you be doing a 'Little Mermiad' cover? Or I would love to see a cover for '101 Dalmatians'! Just a suggestion. :)

The Mulan cover looks terriffic so far! The comb in the puddle is very good and adds a nice touch. Also Shang's stick looks like its pointing right at me! Great job!

:) Thank you very much JohnSmith for the links and providing hi res covers! I now have the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful Sleeping Beauty cover. The official Disney cover is horrendous.

Here's what it looks like in a case:
Image
This was a bad quality picture, but the cover is actually just as crystal clear and unpixelated as seen on the previous pages. I saved the high res picture and used ArcSoft PhotoStudio to print it out. I used the program to set the printer to print a high resolution picture. I should've printed out on glossy paper, but I didn't have any so I used thin cardstock. Also, a tip: cut very very slowly unless you have one of them super accurate slide cutting thing that scrapbookers use.

Something I noticed.

The Disney logo on the side of the case is supposed to be at the top not at the bottom.

Not much of a big deal but I thought i'd just let ya know :)

I have to say that I liked the original idea you are using in your first picture here, JohnSmith. I mean that simplyfied but stunnig coverarts with pencil sketches & yellow/brown backgroud. BUT to use that same idea to all Disney classics, the idea just is not that fresh anymore. That idea worked great once and maybe twice, but that's it. I personally want to see that every Disney film gets its original idea for the cover. If all are the same, they just seem dull, although they look stunning. Do you know what I mean?

That colorful Beauty and the Beast -cover is awesome! Want more like that one!

Thanks everyone! And it looks great Kram! thanks for printing it.

I know the covers might get alittle repetitive after a little while, but I have had many request to create the whole set, so I will.

But I will be making more "individual" covers. Look for a very oriental "Mulan" comming soon :wink:

Krystal, you might want to edit that post and put another bracket around that first "b." :thumb:

JohnSmith, your covers are gorgeous. But on the Sleeping Beauty one, the Beauty isn't sleeping. I don't know about anyone else, but I hardly recognize her in that pose. Maybe that's just because I've hardly ever watched Sleeping Beauty, though.

The "Sleeping Beauty" cover looks stunning, but I think you should add some color to it.

I get your point, however if you watch the movie again you'll realize how overrated the scenes with Aurora asleep are. She's only asleep for what five minutes???

She's actually asleep for quite awhile during the movie. Also, the movie mostly revolves around that because of the spell Maleficient put on her when she was born.

So I wouldn't say it's overrated, afterall the movie is called Sleeping Beauty.

Five minutes? She was snoozing for a hundred years! :lol:
Or at least long enough for the castle to become completely inaccessible on account of the forest of vines, which is an extremely lengthy period of time. How fast do most plants grow, like an inch a year? :lol:

Perhaps you haven't seen the film and are basing your opinion on the original fairy tale, but Aurora really isn't asleep for that long at all. Literally, I'd say she's asleep for about 15 minutes. Story-wise, I'd say she's asleep for a couple of hours. All of those thorn branches that grow over the castle grow in the span of 5 seconds since in Disney's version, Maleficent uses them as a last minute way to stop Phillip.
