My Gaming Inspired Artwork & Custom GBA Boxes

Hah yeah ... If you dont want to, you dont have to. Its tough to find translations for things like that.

That map is amazing looking.

Didn't mean that...it's good practice. Just very slow going. (Especially with as rusty as I am!)

[scott]

Btw, the first couple pages look like warning info. You can skip those. I'll just take the same stuff from an English manual ha.

[soera]

Oh, heh, yeah dont worry about how long it takes. You going slow is still faster than either of us trying to do it! Im just glad you are willing.

Yeah...I'm still trying to figure out how you two got ME involved. 

And that map looks GREAT, by the way.

I guess it's the price you pay for saying you can read Japanese.

This is why I have no useful skills, I never get asked to do anything

I can't wait to see the finished product.

That and we are stuck until Soera can finish his homework and get me names of all the towns in the game.

[soera]

I need to get started on it today. Ill probably load it up in a few minutes.

Loving the art in this thread so far. The NES and SNES controllers in the OP post could make great wallpapers with some tampering

Dude -

I love your Umberlla stuff. Also, that SNES controller is going to be my avatar for 99% of the gaming forums im part of. Only with your permission, of course.

Let me know! Nice work!

[scott]

Thanks, and ya you can use the SNES controller as your avatar.

Currently working on one for Castlevania - Classic NES Series. I decided to follow in the steps of the FFVI box and go with the look of the original release's box. I'm just not sure if it needs a little something on the back or not. What do you think?

That looks great!  The text for the game's name on the side is a bit small, esp with the potion bottle kinda enlarged there.  And as for the back, I've always been a fan of the screenshots that are usually on the back of the box.  For folks who dig the front cover art but still want to know what the *actual* game looks like

You know, I was thinking about this the other day. The Caravan Heart project had me debating on going the full on retail mock up route and doing blurbs/screens on the back. One of the hardest parts of doing these covers has been what to do about the back of the boxes and the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of mimicking a retail box completely.

Just finished this tonight. It's the map for Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart, which is almost the exact same map as Dragon Warrior II. I painted this with watercolor over the last 2.5 nights, took me a little bit to get used to watercolors again, but I think it turned out pretty alright. It's part of the giant art project that has snowballed from making that DS cover. More to come later, this is actually turning into a really fun project.

That is awesome!

You should put a Sonic - Mario Olympic Games on an SNES cart hehe
