I'd like to see some alternate covers for the Medal Of Honor games. I really don't like the retail art, at least not the PAL ones.

As for Legend Of Mana, we have the retail cover hosted here, if it's a matter of getting art to work with, one could easily convert our CD case to DVD.

Hope you guys enjoy this. Could have been better, but it'll do for now I suppose.

I'll start working on that MoH cover again, but I don't know of where to get MoH art from, aside from the cases and such. Even though MoH was a pretty huge game, EA never did tend to make a whole lot of supplemental materials for their games. If you know of any, though, be sure to let me in on it. Until then, I'll just be using the original cover for the US version.

Other games I plan to get to in due time are:
Threads of Fate
Tail Concerto
Um Jammer Lammy
The Unholy Wars

Why limit yourself to the art that EA had for MOH. I think it would be an interesting approach to create something entirely different.

Well, what did you have in mind? I'm not exactly the best at drawing World War II images, and doing a search for such things brings in a whole lot of unusable junk.

Since the MOH games use just random drawn images of soldiers you could pretty much use any WWII related image you could find with google's image search. Given the random art of the retail box it doesn't even have to be related to the actual missions in the game.

The unofficial image comes from Inako@deviantart's "World War II - In the Corner." Again, hopefully he won't mind my using of his image; it was truly the only suitable image I could find for a Medal of Honor cover, and it's actually damn nice.

Well, I have to go into work tomorrow, so that's where I'm sure I'll be for the next five days. Hope you guys enjoy this for now.

I recommend just putting a tiny note with all of the other legal information of who drew the art. It saves trouble later.

You can still see the perforated crease of the rear artwork from the PS1 case on the spine of your Persona 2.

I think you should replace the spine on the Persona 2 cover. You can still see that it was scanned directly from the PSX case, and i think it may be a bit crooked, because it throws the rest of the image off.

Also, do we need the "1 Disc" image? Seems kind of unneeded, especially when the back of Persona 2 says it includes a bonus disc.

Otherwise, good work on the covers, hope to see more  ;D


Edit: Oh i see what's wrong with it. I think the back was scanned in slightly crooked, so all you need to do is adjust that a few degrees then go over the crease in photoshop

I just noticed that there's already one for Persona 2 so should I still rework it? 

Also I want feedback on the Tales of Destiny one.

The other cover is actually pretty well done. Aside from  the "1 Disc" thing again and the logo being squished to fit the spine, I like it.

I know this isn't playstation 1, but I just wanted to test something.
