NES Cover Project - We need more

[palmer6strings]

Well I also notice that the only Bucky O'Hare that we have is the PAL Version. So I'll go ahead and add that unless someone already has.
So I suppose I will Start Scanning as soon as I get back home and then get to work seeing If I can make some good covers.

Do that, I think BadChad did NTSC version aswell, but I think the raws he used weren't the best.

Okay, no problem!

Just so everyone knows, it is going to take a lot of time because im scanning in 2400 dpi.
I just now got both the front and back raws scanned. lol

Don't scan at 2400 DPI, there will be too much error artifacts if you over scan and the scabns will be bad', maybe even unusable.
And my computer will choke on trying to handle that big files.
Andwere would you even upload so big files?

So please scan at 600DPI

And upload 1 scan for quality check before scanning and uploading all.
That way if there is some scan adjustments to do, we can advice  before you scan all.

Darkened it a bit and replaced 1 screeshot as a test ( I can do bit better, this was quickie).

Should I continue or, should we wait for better scans?

EDIT:
Noticed this:

Seems to be my scan, which means I can rescan when I locate the box!!!

Are you going to use the scans from that box to redo the screenshots or to redo the entire cover?  I'd think it'd be harder to clean up those creases and tears than it would be to just recolour mine to your liking. :p

[Arseen]

For me your cover is otherwise good enough after the color adjustment I did, exept the screenshots.

Do you think you can use the screenshots in the scan? or is the Moire effect too bad?
It is too bad I rescan when I find the cover.

Well, here is what I have completed so far. Just let me know I Suppose.
I still have some work to do on it but I would like to see what the comments are first.

Wow, did they really make a game based off the movie Attack of The Killer Tomatoes?

It was a cartoon series in the 90's

Bit hard to tell quality from small preview, but what I can see looks excelent.
Just that the THQ part on the spine should be where the Nntendo is (insteadof the Nintendo) And try to edit the red part away, it's so small that the whole spine could be green background.

Will do, Do you think it needs to be alittle darker?
I know the main front image needs a tad bit more adjusting too.

w00t, more NES covers being worked on!    Thanks for the contributions, palmer!

Now that you mention the colors could be bit more vibrant, not necessarily darker but stroinger.

[palmer6strings]

This is it!
I did alot of adjusting, Made the color more powerfull, Fixed up the spine (which was a pain, good thing im good with the paint brush lol)
I hope it is liked, I cant wait for the uploads to be fixed so I can finally have some of my work on here!

Hey it's no problem. I like doing this stuff. I figure I can do maybe one every couple of days and I will then have all I can offer until I am able to hit more garage sales and thrift stores
