sheep2001:
They look Fantastic! You forgot Sonic 2 in 1 though.
TyrannicalFascist:
Ah, so I did! Any character suggestions for 2-in-1, or should it just be an alternate for Sonic 2, with Dr. Robotnik?
Seraph Man:

Yes. Yes you should.
--- Quote from: TyrannicalFascist on September 20, 2011, 05:42:38 PM ---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.

Sweet. Sounds like a plan. I think I can dig up a couple of images of Sigma's Fortress (and if not, I'll rip the sprite from the ending of Mega Man X1 myself. It'll take a half hour tops)
--- Quote from: TyrannicalFascist on September 20, 2011, 05:42:38 PM ---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.

The only problem with the Battle Network and Star Force series is that after Battle Network 2, each game had multiple version (BN3 had 2, BN4 had 2, BN5 had 3, BN6 had 2, SF1 had 3, SF2 had 2, and SF3 has 3). Plus there's at least 1 japanese exclusive (BN4.5). If spines are going to be made, it would be best not to have a central image blending in the background as (almost) no one is going to have every last game (Granted, I'm saying this owning every version of Battle Network myself minus 4.5, but I doubt most people would be interested in collecting them as I am).
The Zero and Zx series would be fine to do. I have a plan for the Zero series which will include the 4 Guardians, but I have to find the right pictures for it. For the Zx series, I would suggest the Models, but it would be very different-looking compared to the other Mega Man covers. So maybe Zx1 could be Aile and Vent together and Zx2 could be Ashe and Gray together?
Just throwing ideas out there.
Belmont86:
for the castlevania spines it would look nice the castle on the back and each character of the games on each spine. well its just an idea.

I don't know if I could do that. To be honest, Castlevania is a series I don't know much about, so I wouldn't really know what to put for said spines.
Very cool, Seraph Man! I like the matching golden texture on all of them.

Hero on the first, Dracula on the last, small enemies on the covers in between.
Whip extending from first to last cover.
Nice nightly castle in the background.
