edit: Shit, that's probably gonna be wrong on a LOT of my SNES games.  I don't think that was actually my fault (well, in that I didn't make the typo, but I obviously didn't catch it either).  I was using a scavenged recycling info graphic from some N64 game that I downloaded from this site for a while before I got off my lazy ass and just re-typed it.  I'll have to see how many games are affected...

Hope it's not too many. :(

Those LoZ case spines are looking pretty nice. Nice enough that I think I may consider switching from the gold cases to these. Perhaps. Then again, these are a little minimalistic, which I'm not a huge fan of (which is ironic when you consider my custom Golden Sun covers, but again, I digress).

Ugh, I hate finding custom covers I really like. If I had multiple copies of games, then I could use them, but I don't.

Well, I still plan on tweaking the MMX covers, when I find the time to do so. I'm really liking those background images. What are they from, originally?

So, I did a couple more MMX titles, and I thought you'd be proud that the character artwork is accurate ;)







please upload them man i like all your work.

Thanks!  I will definitely get it up, it's just a matter of when, not if ;D

Hope it's not too many. :(

If it is, I won't stress about it.  It doesn't matter so much for my collection, but I better fix 'em if I plan on upping them for you guys.

The Xtreme covers are very nice indeed. Personally, I'm not a fan of the generic title, but the added bar codes in "Xtreme" are a really neat touch. Xtreme 2's cover looks particularly good.

Thanks man!

I've just been trying to unify all the MM titles I have. There's so many different title graphics for the series and they don't all fit very neatly on the spine of a case (not to mention the headache of finding them all in equally good quality and high resolution). So, that's why I went with what I did.  It's also easy to work other graphics into the different titles (like the little barcode bits ;) ).

Also, just finished up 3 more for the old GB titles. I'll post em in a bit.

Wiggy, can you post the .psd files of your templates? They look really nice and minimalist.

Once I eventually pick up copies, yes LOL!

Although, I don't seem to be able to find any more good mosaic images like those.  I'll prolly have to make a couple of my own :/

Gladly.  Can I host PSDs on Mediafire or Box?  I haven't looked into that yet...

OK, I'll get them cleaned up (things will need to be labeled and tidied up a bit before I would want anyone to see them ;D ) and then I'll get them up ASAP.

I had to post this just because it was really fun to build and I'm really happy with how it came out  :D




Alright, I'm starting to save my covers as PNGs.  I've actually got about 145 covers now that I've gone back and looked everything over  :o  I'd completely forgotten about disc-based games that I've made covers for (about 25-30), the memory card cases (6-7), a handful of SNES games that I hadn't put on my shelf yet (stuffed in a box next to my computer under yet another box of carts that need to be cased still).  Sooooo, it's gonna take me a bit to get them a final once over to make sure there's no boo-boos (I know of a few), fix typos (definitely some of those), etc.  Also, I'll get all of my templates properly organized so that I can up them as PSDs so they remain editable.  The layers aren't labeled very clearly right now, there's redundancies from when I was building them, and some of the type isn't editable (has been rasterized for one reason or another), so I gotta fix that so the folks who are super serious about dates/barcodes/games codes/etc. can edit them without having to do a bunch of work.  I've got templates for GBA/GBC/GB, Neo Geo Pocket, Sega Saturn, PS2, PS1, SNES, N64, and the UniKeep cases that I've been using for larger items that won't fit into UGCs.

I like the Tetris cover but I think you should separate the blocks with thin gray lines and perhaps even individual pieces within the blocks with darker shade of the color used in the block.

Now the cover looks like it has "un-tetris like" big blobs.

I started off that way actually, but it just looked cluttered and messy to me.  Lemme see if I saved any part of it before moving on to what I ended up with...

I know someone (satoshi_matrix) did bead sprite work. There's a bunch of Mega Man sprites in his thread (get it? Beads/Thread?), and while I haven't seen one in the pose you're using, there are a lot of images missing, plus satoshi seems to really like Mega Man (and who could blame him), so I'm willing to wager that he'd make another in that pose, and take a picture for you. You'd have to ask him though.

As for that Tetris cover, it's neat and all, but that back is just too much for my eyes.
