Hmm, it's well edited, and that's the only good thing's I have to say about it. When I look at it I see the Genie and not really the ones who actually are in the starring role, but the idea is good though. The colours are way too dark for a film which shines and has a more yellowish feeling in it, so lighter colours in the next versions if you don't mind. :)

I have seen, somewhere, a cover/picture/something for "The Little Mermaid" with Ariel seated in silohette (I can't spell that, sorry) against a moon. Was this a cover or a promotional thing? Or have I made it up?

:pooh:

You don't need photoshop to make covers. I don't have it either. Now I use Fireworks.
That Ariel picture is one of the original movie posters. If you search "The Little Mermaid" with Google, you'll find it right away.

Well I like much better darker covers myself so I like to do them that way. As I think it: more dark - more adult!
I have to say that I like my Aladdin better than recent 2-disc original cover. :)

Personally, the only thing that needs changing to that cover is the titles; the bright magenta box seems to clash with the dark colours. Still, great work! :thumb:

I saw either a promotional picture or cover of Sleeping Beauty, where Prince Philip is leaning over to kiss the sleeping Rose, and she is wearing the pink dress.

That always annoys me because she is wearing blue at that point. It's a small thing, but it gets on my nerves.

And the next one. Here's my first version of Sleeping Beauty. I'd prefer this simply a test, but I think it turned out quite nice, don't you think?
Still this is very traditional Disney cover and I will soon make more artsy cover for Sleeping Beauty.

It's a bright covr! :)
Hmm..still good. You got the "essence" of the movie on the cover. ;)
(Of course, your colors are a too sharpened on Aurora and Phillip, but it's fine.)

You see? In this picture she's wearing pink when at that point in the movie she's wearing blue.

I guess I shouldn't let it bother me so much. The cover is great, I love Maleficent :)

Which cover you want me to do next? It's been a while since my last cover and I can't decide myself...

I love 'em both! I think though that if Hercules would have a night sky background it would work much better!

I don't like the Lady and the Tramp nor the Cinderella one. I just don't like the design. I really liked the Black Cauldron and Hercules though
