Old WIP: Wrestlemania 13

This is what I almost went with for my Wrestlemania 13 custom cover, it was more like the official poster for the event, but this is how the cover ended up looking Click Here

And also the front wasn't finished, nor was the back even close to being done.

So which is better? Wrestlemania 15 VHS covers

Here are 2 covers, one is sort of rare, the other is not. One is the official WWF Wrestlemania 15 VHS cover of the PPV, the other is the WWF Wrestlemania 15 highlight video cover. IMO the highlight video has a way better front.

Highlight video:


PPV video:



Hmm...Maybe this someday could make for a nice custom cover??

Gem: NWA Great American Bash 1987

IMO one of if not the best fronts for a wrestling cover, with its drawings on the front, with the cage, but the back is about as stale as they come, though for 1987 it still offered as much on the back as any WWF video did.

Its a shame more wrestling covers aren't made like this. Least the front anyway.

Rare cover? WCW Starrcade 1998 VHS

Found this cover on Ebay early this year, its not an American cover of course, I think its from Australia? Least that's where the person was shipping from.

WWF WWE Wrestlemania 13 custom cover

Kind of a forgotten cover I made not to long ago, its one I do think turned out very good, and has a good official look to it when you compare it to the original.

You can find the full cover at the WCF

Full Cover: Survivor Series 1989 VHS

Here's a tough one to find WWF Survivor Series 1989 the VHS cover, I happened to have it, found it off ebay long ago, though I own the cover and have a HQ scan of it, this is not HQ, but better then anything else.

WIP: Royal Rumble 1990

Got quite alot done tonight on the front, to a while to find good pics of all 28 other wrestlers on the front, I think the idea I started with is turning out to look pretty good. Still a ways to go with the back, and the front isn't even finished, mainly I need to get a better font, and get the right Coliseum Video font ect..

New Project: Royal Rumble 1990 custom

Shown off here first, is my next project WWF Royal Rumble 1990. I had seen a cover of a movie, and an idea popped in my head. Its something of a cover I always wanted to do, that being a Rumble cover showing everyone or almost everyone in it on the front/back but in a good flashy looking way. I hope this was will work. Now as it shows there is Warrior/Hogan on the front, they come from the WM6 cover, I thought it would be a nice touch to use them on the front.

The cover is super early, like one hour of work type early, not everything is lined up and what not, but it shows a general idea of where the front is going.

Also coming with this cover, will be a WWF 1990 template which will be released on WCF.

Full Cover: Royal Rumble 1990 VHS

A cover VERY hard to come by or find online. I happened to scan this when I owned the video, I have no idea where the HQ scan went, but I sold the video years ago so, this is all I got. Better then nothing

Event Info: via Wikipedia
Royal Rumble (1990) was the third annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on January 21, 1990 at the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Florida.

The main event was the 1990 Royal Rumble match won by WWF Champion Hulk Hogan. Hogan last eliminated Mr. Perfect to win the match. Featured matches on the undercard were Jim Duggan versus The Big Boss Man, Ronnie Garvin versus Greg Valentine in an "I Quit" match and The Bushwhackers (Butch and Luke) versus The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques and Raymond).

Early work: Royal Rumble 1991

This is one of my most early custom covers, made some time around 2005 - early 2006, well before I knew anything about what it takes to make a cover. This was nothing more then a simple cut and paste type cover, with some cheesy effects, but I was really happy with it back then.


As for the cover and everything, I used some template I found on the net, it was crap then, and still is, someone would be nice to make a custom looking like this, just way more flashy and HQ. The idea with the cover is it was meant to look like the Royal Rumble 1990 cover. lol and a better template, like one of my own. lol

Full Cover: Wrestlemania 8 Magazine style

3d Preview


First of many full covers I will post, this isn't a large HQ cover, but still good none the less.

Full Cover

Start to finish: Backlash 2009

Here I'm going to show from the early stages to the finished product of my WWE Backlash 2009 custom cover.

This wasn't the 1st part of the cover of course, I started with my template, but this is the 1st preview, and where I started.



In preview 2 the only part I added was the gray part on the back, now I'm no wizard at photoshop quite yet, but first off the whole red part is suppose to look something like a closeup of the WWE stage used for the event, and the gray part is the round part of the stage, which was a prop.



Then I added the match card/listing



After that to make it look a little more flashy, or at least to mix it up from looking too red I added a text to it..



Once I made it look more "flashy" I added a few pics, with some borders. Of course there's Edge PSD on the front, there was no intention to put anyone on the front besides Orton, he's just there because he was to be used on the back.



After that I add some PSD's to the back above the pics just to fill in some empty spaces. Plus I put a little effects on the pics to make them flow more with the cover.



And here it is the finished product I added a few more PSD's, and touched up everything a little. Its not my best cover, nor is it my worst, but here is my Backlash 2009 custom cover finished.

WIP cover #2

Here we have Cyber Sunday 2008, I don't know for sure if I ever showed this or not, but it was a early WIP cover that I ended up not even going with, maybe I should of because I still think it looked better then what I had when I finished.

Just for show: Royal Rumble 1990

This is one of my early VHS covers I turned into a DVD cover, but it's still a cover you wont find almost anywhere in dvd form, even if it looks a little second rate. In the near future I hope to do up a cover for it.

Looking back vol.1 My first WCF cover preview

The cover here below is the first cover I previewed, or showed off, when I first joined the WCF though since then the site has moved on to its new forum, which is where the link goes to.

So anyway the cover:



A custom cover of Wrestlemania 3, it was finished later on, and will be posted here in the near future, but also it is a cover that I made well before I had any photoshop skills, in fact the cover was made using paintshop 8, a program I used to make all my covers before joining the WCF.

The cover its self is based on the Wrestlemania 6,7 & 8 back style of showing stock photo pics of the wrestlers.

It turned out to be one the covers of mine most people like, I've never really heard anything bad about it.
