Just started making covers. I started to get back into Retro gaming and loved the idea of having cases for my games.

I figured I would create a share account and share my work to see if it meets standards or not.. Im not perfect with photoshop, but I'm not bad.

so take a look and let me know what you think or what I could do to make them better : )

That's actually very good. Overall, it's clean and you can tell that you paid attention to detail.

Personally, I'm not sure how I feel about the word HOCKEY being on the spine alone, I'd either have the whole title spelled out or none at all.

There are a couple things, though:

-To the left of the main image on the front, there are some remnants (from what I'd figure is some leftover from erasing stuff)

-The Genesis logo and seal are lo-res (Look at BadChad's Genesis template for hi-res stuff)

-The 16-MEG image and ESRB stuff is lo-res too. I'd figure there's some resources out there for the ESRB, but that 16-MEG thing would have to be rebuilt.

Bring on more stuff; it's always nice to have another talented artist.

Thank you so much, I was trying to work with the highest resolution image I could get sadly without access to the actual box this was as close as I could get, and I'm no good at rebuilding things in photoshop, but the rest I should be able to manage to at least make it passable. thank your for the help : )

The skill of rebuilding stuff will come with time. Get to know the pen tool if you get a chance - it comes in quite handy.
