To each his own, but that's precisely what I like about it. Kind of like a "black album" effect.

As I said though, I'll only be using the front and back portion of the cover within the digital realm per DVD Profiler and My Movies, all my Blu-ray discs actually stored for playback within Sony Blu-ray changers. (Feel free to hit up my gallery here if you'd like to check out my setup.) As such, any number of titles/discs will fit in this "virtual" Blu-ray case. :-) Eye candy below showing what the title looks like within the My Movies for WMC7 interface, including all the titles grouped under it which sport matching covers now as well. Gotta love it!

Holy crap, man, I didn't even know such things existed. That's a lot of expense just to get rid of cases!

Sadly Sony doesn't make their 400-disc Blu-ray changers anymore. I was just lucky I had my ear to the ground at the time when they went on closeout. Purchased 6 of them for $400 each, $2400 total which is only a $1 per disc storage cost, the equivalent of 120tb of Blu-ray storage, not to mention the fact the discs are stored in actual Sony ES Blu-ray changers, so there's value to be had there as well. The changers allow of course for all the cool automation stuff which has always been a fun hobby of mine and where the expense pays off for me. Not having every wall of my home lined from floor to ceiling with DVD and Blu-ray cases is really just the icing on the cake, solutions like DVD Profiler and My Movies still providing for enjoying the cover art despite the fact all my physical DVD and Blu-ray cases are stored away in the garage within the boxes the changers came in. :-P

It does look cool. Glad it makes you happy.

I'm doing some spring cleaning and finishing up some half-completed work from many years ago. Not all abandoned projects are golden, but I hate loose ends and I'm just throwing them out there in case someone has a need for one of them.

Here is a cover for Dawn of the Dead, available for sharing via PM.



Other covers to come.

I have the exact same opinion.

Thanks mate, the 2009 remake, i like it dark, but here's another version:

Thanks mate, glad you like it.

I've made another cover for the Friday The 13th Collection, but this time in another style and without the titles on the back.
(I know I'm posting too much about "Friday The 13th", but they are my favourite horror movies. )

Wow I really like the style of the new cover. Looking at your covers makes me want to start collecting this series

One of the most frequent complaints I have gotten about my Disney Animated Classics collection is regarding The Lion King. I've gotten tens of messages specifically pointing it out as the least favorite of the bunch and had many requests to remake it. I didn't do so for a very long time because it happens to be one of my personal favorites in the collection and I never really understood why so many people hated it, but to each their own. This is for those of you who hated the original cover and wanted another option. It is available on euphoricfx.

Awww... You sold out! :-)

Just kidding. I get similar feedback on my covers from time to time. Sometimes the artist is unable to gauge his work objectively, but I tend not to give in to such requests.
For what it's worth, I found nothing wrong with your original version.

Here's another finished cover from my "abandoned projects folder".

Elephant Man, for the Studio Canal European release.

PM me for copies.

Cool, because I have many ideas to "Friday The 13th" covers.

Fantastic cover as usual! Just got this on Blu-ray and the Studio Canal transfer is really gorgeous. I highly recommend it.

Any Chance I could get a download link to that one? That looks fantastic and I'm digging the consistency between the 2 sets.
