Oh that front image is so nice quality.

I'm so stealing utilazing that so I can create Vertical English cover.

Thank you very much.

Ha ha!! No worries of course man, go right ahead.

I clone stamped the balls out of every square cm of that, after a couple of light filters and some colour boosting adjustments. The small text at the bottom was really messy, had a crease right the way through it all so had to redraw most of it and correct all the discolouration that creased had caused.

Really happy with how the cover image especially came out, so glad it will be of some use to you for another purpose too! Could just perhaps cut off the bottom Japanese text and use the rest for a PAL vert, it wouldnt look out of place losing that at all I dont think.

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.

great covers, but the one thing I hate about this template, is using the right hand spine on the front image.

Having the game name and system name twice on the front just looks a bit odd.  I know the template predates your covers, so not having a go at you, just saying....it looks odd.  ;)

No worries Sheep, although Ill be honest, I hardly use "the template" any more! ha ha. Only ones that adhere to any kind of template formula are Capcom, Konami and Nintendo 1st party ones and each of those are mostly based on my own templates and stylistic choices for each.

I just like to integrate/re-integrate as much of the original retail box as possible, whilst still having some consistency with ones where I have perhaps relied on a certain style from a template.

This Spiderman one has not got a single element taken from a template, it is ALL from the original retail box and its style is just condensed and re-integrated into larger cover areas (given the difference in size and shape between SFC boxes and UGC's) so as to not have to stretch and warp the original front image to fit the front or back of a UGC based surface area.

The last few Ive made = Super Valis, Hamelin no Violin, X-Men, Rockman and Bass, Batman Returns, Demons Blazon and pretty much all of them only have one mention or instance of "Super Famicom" and/or the game title on the front and back each.........this Spidey one was just quite cluttered on the original scan, and as I prefer to preserve and bring in as much detail and style from the original as possible, it has ended up with multiple mentions of SFC.

In the end, if the main front image, the spine or spines, and whatever framing bars I choose to use have "Super Famicom" in them originally then that is how the cookie crumbles.  ;)

First off these are awesome!  Thanks for making them and continuing to do requests on them.  It turns out I was super lucky and all of my Super Famicom games were already here except for one.  If you get a chance could you make a cover for Tetris Battle Gaiden?

Unfortunately I am pretty new to the game covers and am having trouble sourcing a good scan of the box (and since I am casing the game I don't have the box to take my own pictures). 

The largest front I found was a part of a photo (but it might be too banged up / small to work with):

There is also a pretty small image of the front on gamefaqs:

they also had a maybe decent pic of the back as well:

If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.  Thank you in advance!  These are great.  Thanks for continuing to support this design!

Ah, it appears I suck at using the search feature.  I managed to click the correct link and found some covers that someone linked that you actually took segamer.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

segamers box photos:

I think I found the cover you were referring too:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=11540.msg106375#msg106375

It seems to be a very different style from the coloring of the spine and that is less true to the original packing on the back but I will keep looking to make sure I didn't overlook anything else.  Thank you.

EDIT:  It appears the link to the cover I listed on mediafire also doesn't work.  I guess I am still coverless for now.

I do have a boxed copy of Tetris Battle Gaiden. I don't mind rescanning it need be, if someone agrees to make the cover.

Hey mcgregok,

Welcome to TCP man, glad youve been finding everything you need (eventually! ha ha) and also enjoying the fine hospitality and helpfulness of our admins........they are a fine bunch.  ;)

I am working on a request for a fella before your but now we have a great scan for all sides of Tetris Battle Gaiden, I shall make that my next one for you.

Any requests for style or inclusion of certain elements? as you can probably tell, I like to mix it up and have as much incorporation of original box elements as possible - rather than uniformity - so let me know if there is any particular style you would prefer and I will endeavour to meet those expectations.

Wont put a time frame on it as I shouldnt really be doing any of these given what I have going on in the real world but I am enjoying it like I used too so just working on them in my infrequent (but equally inconsistent) down time.

Thanks!  No special requests.  If it is true to the original box and like the general style of your super famicom titles I will be happy.  No worries if it takes a while.  I am just happy there are people who are willing to spend their time doing such nice things for the community.  Thanks again!
