NES case art

I found some outrageous Mario art the other day and thought about doing this.  Props to the original artists for the paintings:

I actually saw a drawing of Adventure Island in the same art style just the other  day. Might be the same artist:

That artist's name is Handre de Jager.  He does tons of 8-bit parody stuff and he is awesome.

Do you know where we might be able to find the rest of his parodies? There was only a few and I didnt see the Super Mario or Adventure Island pictures on the site either.

Search for Handre de Jager in google photos (that will turn up a lot of them)

First cover made with my 80's version of my 8-bit template. The cover was made without any scans but IMO it still looks great and close to retail.

Jup this looks very nice. Especially considering the fact that you didn't use any scans.

Then how DID you get the pictures? Internet?

Impressive...most impressive. 

[BadChad]

Well considering the cover image is pixelated, this would be one of the easier covers to fix up without a scan. Good job!

The images on the back are from the net or a emulator (in GIF format) so its nice and crisp. I just realized i used an image twice for the back so i need to change that before i upload it. Since the early covers just use pixilated images for the front it makes it a lot easier to fix up a bad rez picture

Aaaahhh so the front was taken from a low res scan after all.... For that it looks really good.
