@Seraph Man: Wow, that turned out great! glad I could help. I'm self-taught in Photoshop over the last 12 or so years, though I did take a print design class in my bachelor's degree program. So I've learned a few "cheats" here and there... :P Can't wait to see the Zero and ZX series. Is it bad that the completionist in me now wants to buy these games just to print the spines out? (and play the games of course) :D Just out of curiosity, from what I've read the Zero series is a sort of continuation/spinoff of the X series. You used Zero in Xtreme 2, but maybe it would be cool if you extended the rest of his picture (his arm and hair) into the first spine of Z1 with the other character on top? So even though the background would change, it'd look like one continuous cast shot for Xtreme and Zero, since he's the common connection. You could always have it as an alternate for Z1 and it wouldn't affect your other spines either way. @soundwave925: Sounds doable I think. I'll just have to take a look at the corresponding covers, and I'll take a stab at it. |

Sorry to double post, but I wanted to show what I have. Here's how it's looking so far with the spines for DW3-DQ9. I'm working on cleaning up the DW 1&2 logo as best I can right now, so that'll be included later. It was very hard to read the subtitles on the first 3 Dragon Quest games, particularly IV, so I recreated the subtitles in a similar font with colored stroke to what was used in Dragon Quest IX so it would match. Unfortunately the Dragon Quest IV and V logos will have to be cut off, either at the top or bottom. They're both cut off at the top now, so I'd like your ideas on if I should center them and cut some of the roman numeral off or what. I think it would be nice to have something in the background, maybe a sky that has the opacity really far down so it's barely visible behind the color backgrounds? It's your call. Also tell me if you want the colors changed, and if you can provide color samples that's even better. I'm also starting to think about the main platforming Kirby games for my next spine set. Since the order is debatable, I think I'll do it like my Sonic spines again. Here's my idea so far: -Kirby's Dreamland - Kirby -Kirby's Dreamland 2 - Rick the Hamster -Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland - King Dedede -Kirby & the Amazing Mirror - Dark Meta Knight or Dark Mind or Master Hand or colored Kirbys? -Kirby: Canvas Curse - Drawcia -Kirby: Squeak Squad - Daroach -Kirby: Super Star Ultra - Meta Knight -Kirby: Mass Attack - Necrodeus or multiple Kirbys Suggestions appreciated! |

I definately like the idea of the colored Kirbys maybe bunched up together for Amazing Mirror, and a dog pile of Kirbys for Mass Attack. Of course, you'd have to find the images that match what it looks like in my head, which may or may not exist. :P |

While I'd personally prefer different characters to represent each game like I did for Sonic, I do like the idea of an all-Kirby set too. He certainly has enough forms/abilities that it could be done. I'll probably make two sets to choose from then, since I like making alternates! How about: -Kirby's Dreamland - Kirby -Kirby's Dreamland 2 - Kirby on Rick or Ice Kirby? -Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland - Sword Kirby or Fire Kirby? -Kirby & the Amazing Mirror - Colored Kirbys -Kirby: Canvas Curse - Ball Kirby (with rainbow track somewhat visible below) -Kirby: Squeak Squad - Kirby & Treasure Chest or Spark Kirby? -Kirby: Super Star Ultra - Beam Kirby -Kirby: Mass Attack - Multiple Kirbys |

Or if the roman numerals were lined up similar to the style of Shenske's Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary covers. |
