Sorry, I'm not trying to double post. However, I had to make correction because my original attempt at a Wolf quality cover failed...  :'( IT FAILED MISERABLY... Not only that but he said it wouldn't pass his test unless I made two versions.... **SIGH** So here's my second attempt.

Any thoughts from anyone about my Joshua cover. Negative or positive is accepted. I'm not quite used to photoshop quite yet.

Guess you did your best what can be done with not so good raw material.
Some what grainy and dirty.
But not by far the worst one there has been.

There was cleaned wisdom tree logo somewhere (saw it today), that you could add to better the cover a bit.

And you could do the slide tone backgrounds again from scratch (should not be that hard).

And you could reduce the grininess of the Joshua logos with Magic Tool + Paintbucket.

Ok, I couldn't figure out the exact font. So, I can correct that if someone can identify it. And maybe send me a link to the download. So, here's Super Sprint for NES!

Thanks Arseen. I'm still trying to learn photoshop. I'm not that good with it. I kinda wish there were some better tuts on YouTube but they are hard to sift through for the good ones.

Sneak got me scans of Cowboy Kid, so here's the cover I made from them.  I'm not sure if the front has a lot of moirĂ© or if the art was drawn like that and those are brush strokes.  I'm guessing it's moirĂ©, but whatever the case this should at least serve as a placeholder until better scans of the front become available.

Thanks again, Sneak! :D

No moire.
Sky is low quality artifaction, but should not print bad.

Just clean the ROMSTAR text on the front, solidify the star (with the S) on the back, ant the feathery things and that cover is excelent.

Thanks!  Not sure what you mean by solidifying, the star, though.  Someone with far more talent than me has offered to clean the front, however, so anything I do at this point would be moot anyway. ;D

And speaking of Cowboy Kid, here's Battleship (how's THAT for a smooth segue way? 8) )

Here's American Gladiators as well.

Hate to post this here, but it would be lost in the request thread.  

I realize that someone made the NES Powerpak cover, but would someone be able to make a full-size box for it?  I know it's not the casual cover, but anyone up to the task? (pic related; pretty much a template I can use to make one of these  :) )

This is Chubby; He hates Game Case Sellers who steal our artwork to profit their lazy kingdoms.

But he sure loves his Shaq Fu!

By solldify I mean this:



done with magic tool and paint bucket.

Sorry about the sloppy job but paint.net doesn't do such good job with magic tool always.

But the lininess in the star originally might be intentional, trying to make it look like brushed metal.
If that is the case the brushing should be replaced with something better looking.

I'm not sure but I believe that on the original cover the star 'shadow' had texture, like leather.
