Your original link yielded a message that said something like, "you must have a premium membership to use custom search". Your updated link results in this:

You convinced me. I just bought 200 credits:

Although, I may never use them. I very rarely download custom covers (there are only 2 in my blu-ray collection). I just enjoy following the threads and seeing the creative works of the contributors.

So, I just viewed the purchase of credits on customaniacs as a donation. Initially, I kept seeing it as a purchase of something I'll likely never use. Just had to change my point of view. Your comment, somehow, made me come to that realization.

Going back a couple pages now...but those disney covers are on point. Love the criterion style of them. Artwork, colours, everything is fantastic!

I enjoy checking out customs as well whether it be here or on other websites, subscription based or not. Subscribe to several cover art websites myself, Customaniacs being my favorite by far. There's a lot of very high quality custom cover art available there, including in most cases high quality scans of the retail cover art or rebuilds of the retail cover art which is what I actually download most frequently if available, something many other cover art websites don't offer that much off. RobertM is one of my favorite contributors over at Customaniacs. Definitely check out the cover art contributions Robert has done. Very high quality stuff.

Will note as well that I don't even print the cover art that I download. The cover art I download is used exclusively within the digital realm. I catalog my DVD collection in a program called DVD Profiler and my Blu-ray collection in a program called My Movies, both of which in addition to their PC based applications offer mobile apps, My Movies also including a plugin for My Movies for WMC7. Every time I add a new title to my collection within DVD Profiler or My Movies I replace the front and back covers that come down with my own if I find the quality lacking or just don't happen to like the particular cover art that comes down. (Just make sure to never contribute your own covers to the DVD Profiler or My Movies servers if they aren't the original unaltered retail covers with matching barcode. They should also be covers you've scanned yourself per having the rights to distribute them.) Can generally always find much higher quality cover art to use instead per one of the cover art websites that I subscribe to and if not there I scan the original cover art myself or work up my own customs. Nothing like being able to check out the front and back portions of your collections cover art within the digital realm and within the digital realm of course I can change up the cover art I'm using for a given title on a whim if I feel like it. It's not like I'm wasting paper and ink to do so. :-P I especially enjoy browsing my Blu-ray collection within My Movies for WMC7 up on my 10ft front projector screen. The front and back covers are so huge at that size I can still read the smallest of text even from 12 feet away. Pretty awesome. An example of what it looks like to browse one of my titles within My Movies for WMC7 can be found here for those interested in checking it out. There are better looking interfaces out there to be sure, but it still gets the job done nicely.

I wanted to ask if you would make me a cover for a Scooby-Doo Movie Collection?

I hate fooling with the cardboard cases, I'd like the same covers that came with the set in regular Blu-ray cases... Anyone done that yet?

Would like to see this as well. I've not found anything for this yet. I've tried making custom covers myself, they look very amateurish and I'm never happy with them. I've used some of them but this set deserves better than I have the talent to pull off.

There's a really cool set of Blu-ray covers which can be downloaded from HiResCovers.net here. (Subscription required to download.) Well worth the price of admission if you ask me. Prior the author had only worked up DVD covers for each season. Great to see that they now offer Blu-ray versions of the covers as well. Lovin' it! Have since downloaded the covers and updated My Movies for WMC7 per the below. For the series as a whole I'm actually using the front portion of the Blu-ray cover they did for "Batman: The Movie". (Click on the preview image below to take a closer look.) I just Photoshop'd out the title treatment, i.e. "The Movie" in addition to replacing the banner at the bottom. :-P

Batman: The Complete Television Series (1966)

(Click here to download the backdrop I created per the above.)

Batman: Season One (Title Selection / Details / Front Cover / Back Cover)
Batman: Season Two (Title Selection / Details / Front Cover / Back Cover)
Batman: Season Three (Title Selection / Details / Front Cover / Back Cover)

Is this one ok? It was very difficult considering you get more cartoon images than movie images.

I made a custom cover for the Region Free Studio Canal release of King Kong 1976. If anyone wants a copy of the full resolution file, PM me. The resolution in the file below is significantly reduced.

Thanks,

Small nit: you only have Region A & B there (not the "ABC" logo of region free discs).


PS: This has been bugging me ever since I was a kid: did anyone figure out what is broken and burning in Kong's hand? I've seen a variation where he's holding a jet but it looks nothing like what he's holding in this one.
