Don't even worry about it! We've all got lives outside of the cover project, so it's fine. Like I said, I'm in no rush to have it. Thanks for working on it though.

"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria"..........and James finishing this cover finally.  ;D

Man, so sorry it took so long, the external intrusion and also the unanticipated difficulty of some parts of making the cover up to the standards I now have to attain just for my own OCD'ish integrity (ha ha) dragged it out.

So, heres a little summary of what went on = we have a fully re-integrated spine image so it completes part of the front cover, with colour balancing and blending up the wazoo - which was the main difficulty as the spine image from the scan I have was clearly done in a different resolution and colour shading, so that took quite a while match up and blending in so the seam does not appear.

Fully clean up all over of course, removing of moire and general fuzziness, re-drawing of a lot of the Japanese symbols as they often get blurred or ruined in the copy over from original scan process.......so the only way to sharpen and clean those up is to literally re-draw them, which by now makes me feel like I could probably learn Japanese from doing so much. ha ha.

Setting and levelling of all the grey borders and frames, creating the new spine with the proper logos and then adding in the little extra spine image of the two lovely ladies (something I usually like to add outside of the original box).

So, hope you like it man and that it was worth the wait.......I am pretty pleased with it but anything you are not liking or want added/taken away then let me know and wouldnt be any trouble at this point.

Thanks for your patience man and apologies again. Here you go! =

SFC Request: The Amazing Spider-Man: Lethal Foes

Okey doke B, I shall have a crack at it.........just wont give a time frame.  ;)

Although, that will probably mean I will be able to do it right away! I pretty much exist in this weird paradox right now where essentially everything I say and hope for........the EXACT opposite happens!  :( ;D

Dude, it looks spectacular. Thanks a lot. I know you put a lot of hard work into it and I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.  ;D I think you should be the go-to guy for all SFC covers because it really does look great. Thanks again!

Hi OhhNoYouNintenDidnt,

I hope I'm not violating any forum rules by posting my request to you directly too (just posted on the Generic Request forum before I read your post)....
Anyway; I'm looking for a horizontal cover for the SNES game Syndicate. Below some additional info. It would be awesome to be able to finalize my collection as this is the only one missing. Since I'm a photoshop noob I rely on the friendly members of this community and thank you for all the work so far!

Game: Syndicate
Platform: SNES
Version: US/EUR don't matter
Art work: by preference as 'orginal' as possible
Box Type: Horizontal

Examples:
This cover comes close but is vertical AND doesn't have the right dimension: http://circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Attachment/44192-syndicate-jpg/
Front artwork (bad resolution though): http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/9/4/9/23949_front.jpg
Back artwork (also bad resolution): http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/9/4/9/23949_back.jpg

Cheers!

Hey Draxzz,

Dont worry about asking direct, totally fine to do that with individuals like me who advertise that they take requests.

As you allude too, the horizontal scans you have there are in no way workable to make even a decent cover as the resolution is too low (oddly, the DPI is high on those but way too low a resolution) so would require literally redrawing the entire thing from scratch.

However, I have just had a look around my usual sources of high res. and DPI scans and found a nice looking 300 DPI PAL horizontal scan - here in case you wanted to have a look in the future = http://www.nintandbox.net/index.php/en/

Cant promise anything but if, in a few days, you get no response for a horizontal in your request thread in the request forum then I shall take it on.  ;)

*EDIT* - Although, I just realise the back is in French........could translate as I have the game boxed (PAL) myself, so could simply re-type it from that........would just need to find the right font.

I've kept track of my post in the official request forum but unfortunately there is noone responding. If you still have time and want to help me out I would greatly appreciate that.

I've checked the site you posted and there are 2 covers up there: 1 in french and 1 in english, see below

http://www.nintandbox.net/index.php/en/component/search/?searchword=Syndicate&searchphrase=all&Itemid=636

Is there anything I can do to help?

Cool, I am just finishing up a SFC cover for my good friend Banisher and then I will have a go at this for you Draxzz.  ;)

Well here you go my man.  ;)

Pretty happy with it my friend, hope you are too.

As always, a full clean up, sharpen and colour pop. I ended up going with the retail pink bar across the top and then utilized both the original spines on the front and back covers, then made a new spine to go in between (felt the originals were a bit busy and muddled) but added in the developer logo and a cool pic of Spidey from the same artist Mark Baguley as an extra touch.

As always, anything you dont quite like or want changed, let me know and will do that.

Thank you very much.
