I'm a little stuck with these covers, as I can't seem to be able to find ANY good art for them. I need covers for:

Gunbird 2 (here are some lo res covers from Mobygames.com) (And from this site)
Plasma Sword/Star Gladiator 2 (Mobygames lo res covers), lo res Japan cover art, looks pretty nice; (And from this site: front, back)
Record of Lodoss War I got it, thanks for the raws, Beastman. I'd be more than happy to accept any submissions, tho. (some raws, fairly low quality tho:) Front, Back
     Some GOOD raws thanks to Beastman: back, front
Triggerheart Excelica (J) I must have read over it...
Space Channel 5 part 2 (J) (Here is someone elses attempt to make an English version of the cover. I'd prefer a J version) I converted one to my liking, but if anyone has one better, I'm open for it
     The ONE raw I found (lo res): Front and back

And possibly, although I think I can do these myself, as there is art,

Dino Crisis I took care of this one
Expendable (Okay, the art available sucks, but I saw a cover done in the DC cover forum that looked excellent, but I can't seem to download. I PMed the artist on that one.) Raws: front, back, and the inlay.

Small list, right? It's just a pain in my butt. I only have the discs on these ones, too. Stupid breakable jewel cases....
BTW, that's lumberjacks/Shenske's template with the ORANGE/WHITE spine (the most commonly used one 'round her'). Thank you to whomever takes this up very much!

EDIT

If you want to do either the black Dreamcast design or the all white one, that's fine too. I just need the media code with it (it's on the spine on the orange/white covers, but not the all white version). Really, anything goes as I haven't printed ANY Dreamcast covers, but it's less of a pain in the butt to do the orange/white than to convert the ones without an alternate available. And since the console itself is white with orange accents, the orange/white or all white would be preferred. Thanky much.

Another Edit

I can't believe it, but I was retarded enough to not look through the raw database before (x.X). I've added the raws for Expendable, Plasma Sword (PAL, but whatever; I WOULD prefer NTSC) and Gunbird 2, but I'll be attempting them as well. Thanks to anyone who helps!

Final edit

Well, they're all done. Thanks for the interest and I would love to see any competing covers (especially for Record of Lodoss War... still not really liking how that one came out...)

I might do a Record of Lodoss War cover at some point, as that is actually a game I have that I currently do not have a cover for. Just as with all of my more recent DC covers, I'll make a white, black, and orange spine/black back version.

Great, thank you very much. I would like to point out that I made a typo when I made the original post, sorry. Lodoss War is NTSC-U (but I'll take a J cover). Trigerheart Excelica was supposed to go there with the J, but I don't know what happened. Must have clicked or something accidentally. But it doesn't really matter anymore as I found it on site. Must've read over it or something.

Great, thank you all for helping me with this. I'm workin on the Dino Crisis cover as we speak, so don't worry about it.

EDIT

Here it is! In three flavors. I'm going to post this over in the DC cover forum as well.

Thanks a bunch! Here are a few mock-ups of a Space Channel 5 cover I CONVERTED from comradesnarky's cover over at SNESorama. Since this is just a conversion, I'm not uploading them. UNLESS someone asks me specifically, but I ain't takin no credit, if'n you know what I mean.






Those last 3 go great with the English conversion available.

EDIT

And to prevent 2x posting, here are my Record of Lodoss War covers. Couldn't copy the cover art exactly, but I tried. So there is the ugly pink-ish versions, like the background in the original cover, or the much better IMHO reddish background versions. Enjoy!

Black spine:

EDIT

And in an attempt to further thwart double posting, here are my expendable covers. They received MUCH inspiration from Lumberjack42's, but I DID make them myself. I only copied from raws and company logos. I recreated the logo on the spine from the front cover, applied a gradient, embossed, contoured, and added a subtle glow, instead of taking it from the game's logo on the spine of the jewel case. I figured it'd add continuity.

Alright, this is part bump, part closure. Woo. Here are my Plasma Sword covers. So much effort for such a "meh" game. I created the red moon, combined the star field with the lines, made Hayato all white and line-ey, pretty much absolutely everything. The illustrations of Hayato may be from MvC 2, but they work. And they're pretty much the only good ones I could find. Thanks again, beastman for the raws. And I encourage everyone to make even better covers. If you can  ;). I don't think it would be too hard to make a better Record of Lodoss War cover, tho...
