your remakes are looking soooo good! :)
if i may make a request, (if you have a second) would you be willing to try your hand at Disney Princess and Spongebob Lights Camera Pants for the GBA plz :)

Thank you for the kind words, Octobun! I'm very happy you requested some covers. I do have a copy of SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! for Game Boy Advance together with many other SpongeBob SquarePants games that are waiting to be made into covers. I am always up for making a cover for anyone. I am willing to try my hand at making the cover for Disney Princess. The site needs a better, higher quality cover of Disney Princess, especially a full retail version. I'm working on more than two of Thugsta4Life's Game Boy cover requests right now. I can't wait to post the new covers. They are going to take some time because I don't cut corners or do half of a job. I feel so good when I make a cover for someone that requested it. Stay tuned!

Rockabilly1983 strikes back with two more new covers for your collections! Get ready, guys! Here are my first two wrestling video game covers. This year makes it the 10th year I have been making covers. In those 10 years, I have never made any covers for the wrestling video games. I have made covers for side scrollers, puzzle games, sports games, shooters, board games, and fighting games, just to name a few. These covers were requested by Thugsta4Life. I feel best when I make covers for someone that requested them. Here are some mistakes I fixed on these two covers:

WWF War Zone
There was no space between the words "Animated Violence" and , "rating, please" on the back for the ESRB rating information. I had to slightly shrink the words "Mild Animated Violence" so I could put a space between "Animated Violence" so all three words "Mild Animated Violence" could fit in the box. The other mistake was fixed by adding a space after the comma.
"Information" was misspelled. It had a lower-case L at the beginning and two lower-case N's at the end. This mistake blew my mind. Surprisingly, "gameplay" was correctly spelled as one word.

ECW Hardcore Revolution
"Gameplay" was incorrectly spelled as two words. I eliminated the space after retyping the text.
"Rating" had an upper-case R on the ESRB rating information on the back. I changed it to a lower-case r so it looks proper.
"Barbed wire" had a dash between the words. I found out that "barbed wire" isn't spelled with a dash. The dash has been removed.

The most fun I had working on ECW Hardcore Revolution was recreating the torn up letters "E-C-W!!!" All I had to do was retype the letters with Impact LT Std Roman, save the text layer as a PNG image, paste the image layer in, and select different areas of the letters to cut with the polygonal lasso tool. When it was done, I auto traced the letters into a vector. I'm going to make some more wrestling video game covers Thugsta4Life requested. They are coming soon. Happy gaming!

Hello, everyone! I'm back once again with another cover. It's WWF WrestleMania 2000. The copy I bought for scanning purposes came with a 2-sided poster. I had to scan this poster because The Cover Project needs more posters. Side 1 was pretty easy. Side 2 was very challenging and I love a challenge. The hardest part on the poster was typing the text in different sizes where it's tilted at an angle. The letters start out small on the left and get slightly bigger to the right. WWF WrestleMania 2000 was requested by Thugsta4Life. How do you like that? Knocking another cover off his request list. I had a great time making this cover and the poster. The hardest and most challenging part with the cover was the yellow text on the back. The yellow text used on the back is not an actual font. It couldn't be identified on MyFonts.com or Identifont.com. I had to manually trace every letter in the different sizes, apply the color overlay, and paste in each subtitle as a layer, including the headliner. It took less than two minutes to trace each letter. Restoring the box art and posters for WWF WrestleMania 2000 took a long time. Restoring anything takes time and a lot of patience.

As a little something extra, I restored another Yahtzee score card. This one is for the 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition. I was able to find a seller that had an original unused pad of 20 score cards on eBay. It took me a few hours to restore the score card because it's very simple. This particular score card only has one side. It is slightly smaller than the first score card from 1956. I guess Milton Bradley decided to do away with 2-sided score cards and make 1-sided score cards starting in the '70s. When I traced the Yahtzee 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition logo into a vector, I made another vector of the logo with an Italian translation. You might be wondering why I did that. I did that just for fun. While I was at it, I also translated the score card to Italian. I don't think Italy ever got the Yahtzee 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition. I also put two score cards together on one big image for printing. This will allow you to print two Yahtzee score cards on one sheet of letter size paper. The score cards on the printing sheet also have a black stroke around each one so you can see where the edges are when you cut them out. Hope everyone enjoys the new cover, posters, and Yahtzee score card. I'm working hard to make more covers Thugsta4Life requested. I will be back soon with another cover or two. Happy gaming!

Hello and welcome, everyone! I have another wrestling cover and two posters that came with it. The new cover is WWF Attitude for Game Boy Color. This one was quite a challenge to restore. It was requested by Thugsta4Life. I have been enjoying helping him case up his games. I would like to give a shout-out to Octobun. Thank you, Octobun, for posting the link to the raw scan of Disney Princess on The Internet Archive. I took a look and noticed the raw scan is 600 dpi. Ever since I got my Canon Pixma TR-7520 all-in-one printer back in late 2018, I can only use scans that are 1,200 dpi or higher. Going from 600 dpi to 1,200 dpi makes a huge difference. After I make some more covers for Thugsta4Life, I will try to make the two covers you requested.

Hope everyone had a fun Independence Day last week! It sounded like a war zone with all the booms and fireworks going off that day. I enjoyed making the WWF Attitude cover and the two-sided poster that came with it. One side of the poster had artwork for WWF Attitude. The other side had artwork for All-Star Baseball 2000. More covers are coming soon! Until the next time, take care!

What's up, everybody? I'm back once again with two more video game covers for your collections. I have WWF Superstars and WWF Superstars 2. When I discovered by accident that a sequel exists, I had to make both covers. The Cover Project doesn't have these and needs them. WWF Superstars was requested by Thugsta4Life. If he decides to buy the sequel and needs the box art, I have him covered (no pun intended). When I was working on WWF Superstars, I saw no barcode on the back of the box. The barcode is on the spine. Not the left spine; the right spine. This is the first original Game Boy game I have come across where the barcode is not on the back. When I was putting the WWF Superstars cover together, I decided to make two versions of the cover by making both retail spines. It's important that the cover has the barcode too. I used the right spine to make Version 1. I used the left spine to make Version 2. Version 1 has the barcode on the spine; Version 2 does not. You can use whichever cover you like.

When I worked on WWF Superstars 2, I didn't have to make two spines because the barcode is on the back of the box. At least LJN got the sequel right when they designed the box for this game. Be sure to check back often. I am working hard to make more covers for everyone, including Thugsta4Life. Happy gaming!
