Hey all, my first time here, and before anything I just wanted to say this is a really awesome project you guys have here. So I have a bit of a weird request for a custom 3ds cover I want. Wasn't sure if I should post here or in requests but w/e.

So It's not actually for a game, I want to use it as a way to propose to my girlfriend. Basically I wrote a cheesy as hell "game description" for the back, and the front would just say "Will you marry me?" on it, maybe with a pic of a ring behind it or something. I don't know if this is something you guys could do, or maybe if someone had some suggestions for how I could do it myself that would be great too. I thought about just typing it up and formatting it to fit the case, but I want a little bit of production value because I'd like to hold onto afterwards as a keepsake, and I only get to do this once. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

My first thoughts are that you should leave the front cover a bit less direct. Instead you could put Will You Marry Me? as the finale. Like as a note inside, or a custom cartridge label. Maybe the cover could say something simple and title-ish like Together Forever or something more poetic.

If you have an idea of the look you’re after, might be good to provide some examples of other cover art/design you are hoping for.

I’m sure somebody here will help

here is my attempt.


the words on the back are Shakespeare's sonnet 116 about marriage.

Shouldn't it be rated at least M for Mature?

That's a good idea, initially I was going to try to have her read the back first and then flip it, but this makes more sense.

That's Awesome! I think I'd just be looking for something simpler for the front, maybe like an 8bit style heart or something. Been having trouble finding an image that I really like. The sonnet is beautiful also, but I actually wrote some stuff I wanted to use for the back. I'm kind of embarrassed so I'd rather not post it in the forum, but I could pm you if you wanted.

If you do use any part of his cover, make sure you correct the spelling of "Forr" in the ESRB rating on the back.
