CaptObvious42:
I was working on an article about storing old school game in Universal Game Cases and finding or creating covers for them. I've wanted to do a few custom cases (and maybe try recreating a few for games with covers I can't find,) so I figured now was a good time to do one... especially since I have some unexpected downtime.

My first cover is a custom for the NES Ducktales. I wanted a using the Ducktales Remastered art, so whipped this one up. I did take some liberties with it, though it still works for the most part. I think it still needs work though.


I'm working on a second Ducktales one, though this one is meant more of a joke. After that, I'm not sure.
Arseen:
Preview looks nice.

I'll check it when I get home to better screen.

Thank you for sharing.

And welcome to the site.
CaptObvious42:
Thank you.

The only real issues I have are the fonts and the cave image in the upper left corner on the back. I tried to keep the fonts close to what they were on the original cover. I was also worried about them not showing up very well on the background, though they looked fine when I did a test print. As for the cave, the blue-grey kinda clashes with the background. Not sure if I should worry about it.

And here's the "joke" cover. I spent a little less time on this one, though its not as complete as the first.


The images of Scrooge are fan art, so I should credit them somehow... probably somewhere on the back. The back and spine art I'll probably be changing as they were put there as placeholders. I still need to figure out what should got there.

As for the origin of the image of Scrooge on the front... the original author was inspired by a Ducktales/Live and Learn mash-up. I always had the idea of Scrooge appearing in front of the backdrop of Duckburg for this cover.
Oobgarm:
I think that first one is well done - but a change I'd make is to lighten the map background on the back and spine so the rear text shows up more clearly.
CaptObvious42:
It didn't look so bad when it was printed... though that could be my color cartridge dying.

Here's the one that should brighten up your day...


I do wonder if its maybe too bright. Not a hard fix though.

And I apologize for the bad pun.
