Support NeoGAF

[JWong]

This would definitely hit some violation with that PS logo blending in with the gun!

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

First attempt at this, but needed it for my own collection (no Darksiders love on GAF?) and figured I'd put it up here as well. It's "ultra-clean" (small PSN logo, title on spine only).

Man...if you could make this for the 360...I'd kiss you right on the mouth.

Hmmm...or...maybe it would be more effective to tell you I WON'T kiss you right on the mouth if you make a 360 version.

Gorgeous work.

Shouldn't be too hard since the artwork is already there. People should make sure they include both versions for GAF.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

I'd do it myself but...I'm a complete idiot when it comes to doing stuff like this. I've been on a complete tear with my colour printer this weekend.

My wife doesn't get it.

Which tells me printing these alt covers are definitely the way to go.

 

[brandonh83]

Can't wait until we get a high res enough version of the Silent Hill HD collection; it's begging to be done without the game covers on the front.

 

[Beats]

I see what you did there.

Edit: Just a thought, but it might look good in pink.

I added a sort of pink version. Let me know if it's okay.

Someone did Silent Hill 2 covers... maybe they didn't care about SH3?

 

[heavyness]

so much sex in those box arts.

OH, yes! That's perfect.

 

[brandonh83]

yeah but it will all be on one disc, so....

 

[Zombie James]

Anyone know a good place to print these in Toronto?

 

[Penguin nerd]

Oh yeah that pinkish Kirby's Epic Yarn boxart is much better.

@brandonh83 - Agreed, the Silent Hill collection boxart looks really nice actually but the boxarts in the corner kind of kill it.

[A Twisty Fluken]

One game that could really use a redone cover: Orange Box. Can't believe such awesomeness was saddled with such ugliness.

 

[TheCongressman1]

Thread = Stretch out concept art

Almost all of these boxes look ten times better than the originals. It doesn't matter how they are made.

 

[Borman]

Thread = Stretch out concept art

Not always. Most of mine aren't stretched anyway. Digging up old press kits is hard work PSDs of logos aren't always the easiest to find either.

Here ya go:





I'm glad you asked, since fitting it to the 360 template made me see some changes worth making to the PS3 version before I print it out.

While what I did isn't anything extraordinary, there are some people in these threads doing nice work, and it's pretty rude to just shit all over it.

 

[Penguin nerd]

Thread = Stretch out concept art

Yeah, I mean for the couple I've done I don't feel like I'm doing anything amazing as it's really not my work I'm just putting it on a box. But they look nice and much better than the boxarts we have.

AWESOME!

Thank you SO much.

He's thrown a kettle over a pub. What have you ever done?

 

[tsurugi no mai]

Where do you guys find the hi-res art to design with?

 

[mik]

 

[brandonh83]

I hate sports games but I would consider buying that one just for that cover. I do like sports and I used to collect baseball cards, just not a big fan of sports videogames. Fantastic cover, inspired.

 

[Penguin nerd]

I don't plan on getting NBA 2k12 but if I did I would totally use that boxart. Great job mik.

 

[Beats]

I use Google image search. I usually just put in "game name" + concept art, and set it to only show large images. Sometimes you have to dig a bit though. I also look at the CoverGalaxy forums for the spine logo if they have it.

edit: The "Larger than..." option also works, and is probably better sometimes.

 

[neojubei]

Is there a place i can download the boxarts that is not mediafire? Everytime I download from there the artwork gets cut off. It is soo frustrating.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

:O

I'm actually considering going out to buy this game just to support your work.

Darksiders

The file size is huuuuuuggee, can you upload it as JPEG or PNG/

 

[neojubei]

Could anyone upload Ico & SotC Collection (Rengoku) art thats not on mediafire?

 

[Vire]

Fantastic!

Thank you!

Also, I wanted to ask you if you could please upload a PS3 .PSD version of your blue Wii covers like this one.

You mean like a PS3 template without anything on it except the spine logo? You can use the PS3 combo template in the OP. Just take out all the layers except the spine, and any one of the background layers.

 

[AniHawk]

finally another chance to see mik shine.

 

[tsurugi no mai]

Killzone 2

http://www.mediafire.com/?wn09ecp3frmcx7d

This one still has the bars. Could you re-up the clean one?

Yeah, but with that blue color in the background. I suppose I could change the color of the blue layer in the .PSD, though...

How do you get the white icons to look like that on your covers?

Aaaand here are some PS3 requests in case anyone gets bored. (Minimal style, please)

- CoD 4: Modern Warfare
- CoD: World at War
- CoD: Modern Warfare 2
- Dead Rising 2
- The two GTA IVs
- Resident Evil 5
- Tekken 6

I did two minimal GTA4 but only did PS3; I could be persuaded to go back and port them to 360 cases if you liked either of them... unless you're looking for the Stories from Liberty City... I didn't do those. Check the 2nd post.

Whoops, forgot to add PS3 in my post.

I've seen those, and I don't want to use 'em without having a EFLC one too, ya know?

I see -- you want a matching set or something?
That's cool... I'll add it to the list of things to work on someday if someone doesn't beat me to it.

 

[gillty]

Thank you!

The Master-List on Post #2 is more up to date than Post #2 itself. Make sure to check there as well!

Hey could you amend my SSF4 cover link, the one in the database is the WIP version.
I posted the final one here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30482333&postcount=98

Great job with the OP!

Here's my first attempt. It's taken me ages to vector everything, and I'm still working on the last couple of bits of art for RB 1-2. For now, you can have these

All done by hand, tracing everything... there has to be an easier way, lol.

If anyone wants the SVG's of any of the assets (logos, icons, etc) lemme know. I made them all in Inkscape, so specify a format if you want any.[/QUOTE]
Good job with these, fit the style and look great.

 

[Beats]

How do you get the white icons to look like that on your covers?

You mean the logos? Just lock the transparent pixels (should be the first thing to click next to the "Lock:" part in the layers window), and paint over it in white. Sometimes you have to erase some stuff depending on the logo so that it doesn't look like a white blob.

 

[Borman]

Working on something fun:

Obviously, lots to change and finish. Wish I could find some nice 8-bit Galaxy stuff, maybe Ill just make it myself later. Need food though, so this is as far as it goes for now. (Used the 360 3d template, so its a bit off)

 

[Slayer-33]

Wow awesome idea ^! IMO keep the retro look but get rectangular shot boxes instead of tube tv ones. It'll be modern but retro at the same time! GOGOGO U SOB! Also look for some abstract space backgrounds and paste them on the background area

Thread = Stretch out concept art

Not having unseen source material sucks son.


Unless you are a master graphic artist or some shit you won't be able to produce original unseen work.

There's so much one can do.

 

[PerZona]

Printed these box arts over the weekend:

 

[Slayer-33]

I just went over page 1, 2, 3


In-fucking-credible


Jesus fucking Christ man.


PEOPLE NEED TO SEE ALL OF THIS SHIT MAN.

This is BEAUTIFUL work.

WOW THAT IS AMAZING!

I really like these ones! Can you do SMG2 as well?

 

[brandonh83]

A retro cover for Skyward Sword would be like totally awesome.

 

[Jintor]

This shit is fucking amazing. Bookmarking for later use.

 

[Penguin nerd]

Those look really great PerZona.

That retro style Mario Galaxy cover is neat.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Wow, they're all amazing, would love to print them out for my games. Only problem is I would have to do it for ALL of them. I need homogeneity.

 

[Persona7]

Are their any Persona 4 covers floating around? PS2 games in general really...I would love a socom3 and combined assault cover.

 

[Borman]

Ill be working on a few other titles, currently nailing down some details on this first one, then it should be quicker. Need to look at some more boxes for little stuff.
