*** DONE *** SNES - Various Games - NTSC (some raws included)

[KaiserWAVE]

DONE!!!!!

I needed a boatload of covers and a lot of people helped me out! Thank you all!


All box scans in this thread were courtesy of http://npes.free.fr/
Check them out, they are great and have lots of high res and sometimes cleaned box scans. Mostly PAL games though but highly useful for custom cover makers.

[KaiserWAVE]

So that's my request. A hefty one I know. But I'm so close to finishing my collection after all these years, I thouht I'd give it a try.

I made this double post so that I can update the progress of my request without messing with the actual request thread. Yeah, I know, very optimistic


FINAL EDIT (#12)  7/04/09:

Thanks to Beastman1975 I could axe 2 covers from my request, Flashback and Indiana Jones. Thank you!
the7k did some awesome custom covers for Weapon Lord, Dead Dance, Hagane and Desert Fighter. Thank you!
Grumbleduke was kind enough to make a Super Probotector and Super Punch Out cover for me. Thank you for that mate
M47R1X to the rescue... He came , saw, and kicked some serious ass He did amazing covers for EarthWorm Jim 2, Skyblazer, Mystic Quest, Blackhawk, Magical Quest, Demon's Crest, Unirally, Metal Combat, Phalanx, Castlevania Vampire's Kiss, Space Mega Force, Super Turrican, Super Turrican 2 Rock 'N Roll Racing and Barkley Shut Up And Jam for me. Very Much appreciated!!! I can't thank you enough!

I know I sent you a PM, but just to make sure you can see the images, I'm posting it here too. Here are my alphas for EJ2

[shenske]

The cover looks great but just giving you a heads up all the spines for vertical snes covers are black and have no artwork.

[Thaddeus Grey]

Aw man... I thought it looked good with it... ah well, better stick to the guidelines.

The cover looks great but just giving you a heads up all the spines for vertical snes covers are black and have no artwork.

:/ It's not going to kill you to have one game in your collection that has an "artsy" spine.

I mean, the guy made it for you when he really didn't have to. Be thankful you got something at all.

You might want to check who the request was from, then check who the advice was from - oh, and then check who made the template and 90% of the covers for the template.

If he would like he can make an alternate version with the art going over the spine. 
There should be a version with a black spine so it is still uniform with ALL the other covers that we currently have.

I mean, the guy made it for you when he really didn't have to. Be thankful you got something at all.

You must be right ... making ~350 covers & ~10 templates for other people who i don't even know with no personal reward in my free time... i need to learn a thing or too about being thankful.  EDIT: That was kind of Jerk Comment by me

I thought i was still being respectful and just simply requesting the cover to be uniform, thats it. 

[somunny]

FYI - I'm currently working on the RNR Racing (Pal and US).

[KaiserWAVE]

Finally it's getting crowded in here. I like it

@ M47R1X
Thanks for the EWJ2 covers. I really appreciate it. If you want to make an artsy spine go ahead and do it. We can add it. But as Shenske said for the sake of uniformity please make a black spine version if you find the time. I myself am looking for a black spine version to maintain the uniform look.

@ somunny
That's great news. Thanks for that. I'm looking forward to seing the finished work!

oh, and @ lavender
3 posts and already trouncing people. Great way to introduce yourself. Have fun on the forums

[lavender]

Not entirely sure how trying to defend someone's hard work is trouncing three people, but okay?

lol internet

[sheep2001]

@ lavender - we are a friendly bunch here - but your post to shenske was pretty aggressive.  he wasn't the person who made the request, but he IS the person who made the template, and was merely offering advice on how to use it (as he himself has made a stack of covers with it, and set the standard)

oh and kaiser didn't say trouncing 3 people, he said you were trouncing people on your third post.

anyway - welcome to the forums - might be worth having a bit of a look around and getting to know us before 'defending' anyone else.
 

[Thaddeus Grey]

Really, it's fine, I just enjoy doing it and doing stuff for others. I was raised that way  . Here is a preview of a version with the original cover art (I have been using an official image by SHINY, but it's not the cover. This is JUST A GLIMPSE, I'm nowhere near done yet.

Oh, and it' a great help to me if everyone who's doing one of these announces which ones they are doing. Still working on EJ2 here, when I'm done I'll pick the next one.



EDIT!!!

Since I hate double posts, here is what I have so far. It's just a preview, but I don't think it needs any changes. But I could always be wrong. The text on the back is legible on the real version and it's ready to go. Basically this is the Euro artwork in the NTSC stylings. I believe that is what we were going for, right? After this I'm going after Mystic Quest Legends, BTW.

and one in true PAL stylings:

Is this what you were going for?

[Thaddeus Grey]

Okay, I know I'm double posting, but it's for a reason. Here's my Mystic Quest Legend Stuff! Woo!

With black bar:

And with an "artsy" side:

I'm tackling Skyblazer next. W00.

[KaiserWAVE]

Great!!! Thanky you so much!!

Could you please make a Mystic Quest Legend cover with black spine and in the NTSC template? This is how I want all my covers to look like. Oh, but be warned that this rendition of the cover would be just for me and won't be hosted because that game never existed that way. Same goes for all the other covers in my request if you feel like doing them. All black spine and in the NTSC template.
