I can only approve :cool:

Don't fret, everyone of us made a first cover, the hard part is getting the others done. Oh bye-the-way your cover is excellent. :yessir:

I put together a quick Netflix Template for you, in case it is of use.

Welcome to the club! Nice work for your first! Although I have quite a few covers on this site, I still consider myself a newb compared to these talented artists. It is a great community who lends help whenever needed. If a cover you submit gets rejected (as I have had a few) someone details what needs changed. Mine have been low-res images. I have had some difficult covers where I needed hi-res images and couldn't find. If you do need that, just ask on the forums showing what you are needing and someone will point you in the right direction...or do it themselves.

I agree with the comment about moving the synopsis up. As far as legal stuff, I tend to leave it off. IMO, it does nothing for custom covers. I will use the logos but not the legal jargen. I know many artists here use the legal stuff and that's fine. For me, it takes away from the great artwork being used.

That is actually a very nice cover for your first! :)

And if I alter any of the PSD's provided here it messes it up and I can never seem to get it to look right again. I would LOVE some pointers on this.
Finding info for a physical release that doesn't exist (netflix) is hard :D
Netflix used to release content on bluray like this one. Maybe that helps to get an idea of a possible layout.
As for where to get info from. generally from blu-ray.com or imdb.com or the production company themselfs (netflix for you).

I understand your nervousness in sharing your first cover. But you can relax. It has been my experience (of many years) that people on this site are kind and supportive. If you post in the WIP, you will get helpful suggestions that will make your cover better. Most of my stuff on this site is better than it would have been without input from others, and I still use the WIP when I get creative block on a cover. If you submit a cover and it gets approved, people who like it will comment on it to let you know. I have never seen anyone here be unkind or disparaging about other people's work.
