Custom Spines - Requests Welcome
TyrannicalFascist:
Here's what I got for an alternate Obi-Wan's Adventures featuring Episode I Obi-Wan. It's fan art, but the style is close. I also made a double-width spine for Episode I: Racer featuring Anakin and Sebulba's pods. I put up 2 versions - with and without Lucasarts logos.
And while I was at it I also made a matching spine set for the 3 Star Trek games for Game Boy, using a similar style to my Star Trek PC/DOS covers.
They're all up in US case size on my Box.net, linked in my signature. EDIT: Also uploaded the Banjo-Kazooie set in EU case size.

The mega man spines printed, which I think turned out fantastic. Thank you TyrannicalFascist, heres proof that your work is being used and appreciated :)

that looks hot!
Seraph Man:
Wow. Now I want to go back and do something extra to the Xtreme covers, so they can be just as sick. Those Mega Man spines are damn sweet.
TyrannicalFascist:
Wow! I think I might have to buy me some Megaman games now...
Seraph Man, if you want to make a similar background for your Xtreme spines, what I did was find a sprite background of Wily Castle, vectorized it with VectorMagic.com at medium detail level, and saved the jpeg version. Then in the background of the spines, I put it there and then made it partially transparent (maybe 60% opacity?) over a blue background. I'm sure you could do that with Sigma's Fortress or whatever goes with the Xtreme series.
I'm still confused about the Castlevania series, particularly if it were to be grouped by console, would each of those games still be in release order, or chronological order? From what I've read the proper chronological order is: Castlevania Legends, Castlevania: The Adventure, Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, Classic NES Series: Castlevania, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
If someone could tell me specifically what character they want on each, I could try making a spanning spine for all games. I could make 2 versions - 1 in the release order (GB, GBA, DS) and 1 in chronological order. I could also make a combined option for Double Pack, and I could tack Kid Dracula at the very beginning (so if people don't want to include that, it won't really affect the spanning spine). I won't be doing Japanese versions however. Sorry. I only do English versions of games.
Since that'll be a while before that's done, what other series could I tackle in the mean time? Aren't there other Megaman series for GBA & DS, like Battle Network, Zero, ZX and Star Force? If I could get character suggestions for each and suggestions for what should go in the background of each set, maybe I could work towards completing the entire Megaman series on Nintendo handhelds that Seraph Man and I started.
Also, does anyone else use DS cases for their Game Gear games? I was thinking about doing the Sonic games in a similar matching set to what I did for GBA/DS. Here's what I'm thinking so far:
Sonic 1 - Sonic
Sonic 2 - Dr. Robotnik
Sonic Chaos - Tails
Sonic Triple Trouble - Fang/Nack
Sonic Blast - Knuckles
Sonic Drift - Amy
Sonic Drift 2 - Metal Sonic
Sonic Labyrinth - ??
Sonic Spinball - ??
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - Scratch & Grounder
Tails' Adventure - Grand Battle Kuku 15th
Tails' Sky Patrol - Wendy Witchcart?
EDIT: Here's a preview of what I'm thinking, using my own personal custom EU-case-sized Game Gear spines (GG logo is same size as GB/GBA/DS now). So far I've knocked out all but Spinball, Labyrinth, Mean Bean Machine and Sky Patrol.
