They're all great. Really, I couldn't decide which one looks best as they're all awesome.

Good job and interesting, but I don't think simply placing a different Megaman infront of the visible old boxart is the best idea, espically with the clash of art styles as your MM1, 3 and 4 are by Inafune, 2 and 6 are from the Megaman comic and 5 is from one of the various Rockman mangas.
I much more like the idea eightcell had to create English versions of the vastly superior Rockman complete works covers. All that would need to be done is replace Rockman with Megaman and a little resizing and boarder art. Then for the back, a complete rewrite of the boxes.
I think that's the best way to go, personally. What do you think lumberjack? I dont mean to crap on your work I mean I can tell it must've taken some time and effort, but I just think there are better ways of doing the set. Oh, and as discussed a few months ago: make sure when your doing the spines that they match. The idea is to make Megaman 1-6 like a box set of DVDs or something...so they all fit together. How do you like the idea of working togehter on this? If I did the backs for each and had you do the fronts and possibly the spines and then we add the two togehter? I just want to try to modernize the covers for the Megaman games as they evolved in artstyle and such.

If you want to try and finish eightcell's idea, go ahead. I won't bogart someones work, I would rather wait and see what eightcell has up their sleeve. I'm just going to finish my idea for a custom cover and then get back to scanning and cleaning up the boxes i have at home.
BTW, I've found it's just too much work to use the PS1 covers at such a low resolution. As to the disparagy in artwork, there is, unfortunately , not a lot to work with on the internet and I don't have any Mega Man art books to scan from.

I can appricate what your saying, but I think eightcell has anadoned the project. Haven't seen him on in months. As for megaman artwork, did you try atomicfire?
