[quote="Fez_Head"][quote="imekitty"]It's not the layout of the covers that bothers me. It's just that Aladdin and Jasmine are off-model in all of them. They managed to make two of Disney's most attractive characters look so...ugly. Genie looks great in all of them, though. I guess he's easy? I wouldn't know, though. I ain't no artist... T.T[/quote] That makes sense. And you're absolutely right, especially for the Diamond Edition. Aladdin's eyes are massive :shock: Seriously, did he smoke something from the peddler's hooka? I don't draw either. I mean, I can draw a stick man running, but... :D The posters, especially the one where it's just the hand and the lamp, and that picture of Al and Jas are beautiful! I agree with you guys: they should have gotten whoever drew these to do the movie cover art. Or Mark Henn and Glenn Keane :D[/quote]
