Custom Spines - 3DS Cases Edition

[TyrannicalFascist]

I thought I'd start up a separate thread for custom spines for any covers designed for 3DS cases. I wanted to keep it separate from the existing Custom Spines thread because of the different cases.

Please feel free to share any custom spines or spine sets you've created!

3DS Cases for Handheld Game Carts Thread

If anyone has used any, I'd love to see pictures of them on your shelf!

Nice ones as always

Do you use Photoshop? Because if you do, there's a tool that helps bring out the original color of a cover. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I took the spine you made for Mario vs DK and added a color curve. The color curve is a REALLY helpful tool and can make the color of a washed-out scan the original color!



Other than that, awesome work! I kind of want to try these so I'll add some if I do.

[TyrannicalFascist]

Yeah I use curves all the time. I guess I forgot to on that particular one though. Thanks for the tip anyways!

The characters on the Star Wars spine look like they are going to jump at you because they look so realistic. I like how Darth Vader's lightsaber goes through the right side of the LucasArts logo.

Alas, LucasArts, your glory days are no more. I loved the Monkey Island games and Full Throttle from them.

@Arseen - Thanks, glad you like them!

Thanks! Most of those images come from the New Essential Guide to Characters, which had some great realistic art, particularly of EU characters. There's supposed to be a new version coming, since that was from before Episode III, but they keep pushing it back...

Yeah, I'll miss the old LucasArts. Speaking of, if you haven't, you should check out my series of custom Star Wars PC game covers for New Poly Cases. I kind of took the look of the old game boxes from the TIE Fighter/Dark Forces 2 Jedi Knight days and mixed it with what I've been doing for handheld games. They also use some of the great art from the essential guides. http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=10479.0

UPDATES: I've added Shenske's Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, BlueSea hack, ShinyGold hack, Crystal Shards hack and updated Pokémon FireRed with the Charizard on the spine color corrected to match the front. Just need to do "Frigo Returns" to complete all the covers he's done so far (which Pokémon is on the front? I'm not familiar with a lot of the newer ones).

I'm also going to be doing some cleaning house in my Box folder to better reorganize things, so if anyone finds any of my links in any thread to be broken, please let me know.

Its a fake Pokemon. Frigo is a fake pokemon the creator "hacked" into Pokemon ruby. From what i can tell there are no differences from 'Frigo Returns' and 'Ruby' except for the weird ice Pokemon Frigo.

I thought it was fitting to put Frigo on the front but he looks really stupid (and never evolves). I googled fake Pokemon, found one i liked and made look like an ice pokemon. If you would like i can send you the image i used for the pokemon or you can just cut it out from the front of the cover.

UPDATE 5/22: Added Pokémon Frigo Returns - thanks Shenske!

I'll continue to do spines for Shenske's other GBA hack covers as he does them, though I'm considering doing the DS entries if there's enough interest. My next project is a spine for Sonic Battle, and a series for the Super Mario/Wario Land series.

UPDATE 2: Added Sonic Battle and Sonic Pinball Party spines. Here's the GBA lineup:

[TyrannicalFascist]

Started a new series for Mario & Related games, featuring a character on each. These are similar to what I've done with my Sonic and Pokémon spines. So far, I have available: Donkey Kong '94, Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2, Wario Land and Wario Land 2 GB (both "II" and "2" versions available).



I also added a spine for Pokémon Trading Card game. One option matches the other spines, and the other is more stand-alone. Decided to feature Mewtwo, since he isn't featured on any of the games.
