Do you even remember where you found the art for this cover? I can't find good Metal Gear Rising art assets anywhere. I can't even find a cleaned-up logo for the game, much less any Shinkawa art.

picked this up recently, time to playso I made a cover
Gah! You make all these wonderful covers but not for XBOX ):
Exactly! Thank you!
50 cases are a little bit too much but the information will help me find other shops which sell these in lower stacks in think.

I don't know the legitimacy of the page, but they sell packs of 10 for $5.50.
Would love to see a lot of these broken links fixed, especially the covers to 3D Dot Game Heroes, FFXIII, Forza 4, Last Story, Rhythm Heaven Fever and Xenoblade.The work here is amazing and led to me messing around with Gimp and trying to figure some of this stuff out. Also would love to see the Wii template back up. Fantastic job to everyone, hope this thread continues to thrive!
Any of those broken links mine? If they're the TinyPic links, then only the image links are broken. The actual download links should still work.
Yeah, mostly MediaFire links to the actual download. An example is the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus image on the first page. Unless there is something real obvious I am missing or doing wrong.
Well damn. Seems like a shitload of old ones are gone. No one's asked us to rehost so we're not really finding out about this till now.
Can't be a size limit thing because I'm at barely 1% capacity on my MediaFire account.
Edit: I think what happened was MediaFire changed their URL system, killing all the old links. I'm finding some of my old files still up there but with different URLs. Might give me an opportunity to make slight changes to old covers anyway.
Cool, appreciate you checking it out.
First, here's a slightly adjusted new version of my Ico & Shadow of the Colossus cover: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?pclwjmb985zm9k8

Gorgeous!
Public service message to all, it looks like the magic formula to getting a lot of these bad MediaFire links to work is to change a link like this...

Anybody else like to see DVD-sized cases for PS1 games? A while ago (before the current gen was in full swing) a lot of people did this to make them fit more in line with PS2 games. Here you go:
Metal Gear Solid
I did a lot of messing around trying to find good art for an MGS1 cover but ultimately I decided to do something reminiscent of the original Japanese and US covers for the game. I'm thinking of starting to put developer logos on all my covers now. It at least makes sense to give props to the guys who actually made the game.
*
*
*
*
For the subsequent MGS games one thing I decided to do was leave out the subtitles so as to make the covers compatible with either edition of each game.
Metal Gear Solid 2
*
*
*
*
MGS3 is one of those games where it's hard to out-do the official box art (unless you're talking about the original US Snake Eater cover). So, I just went with the old PAL cover since it isn't seen as often.
Metal Gear Solid 3
*
*
*
*
What you see below is almost all of the usable Metal Gear Rising art that I could find. There really is a dearth of it out there. The front is almost the only Shinkawa render of Raiden from Rising that I know of. And I have no idea where to find a picture of the logo that doesn't have that lightning crap all over it.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengenace: 360/PS3

These look very good! Will definitly use your MGS 2 Cover!
Except the MG Rising cover. Sorry, but I think it does look a little bit thrown together. Not a criticism of your work, as you said it was hard to find material. I dont know if its the contrast of the white front to the dark back (which doesn't really matter anymore if its printed out as you will only see one site at a time then) or its just because I don't the like the game too much, I have no idea.
I am constantly changing my opinion about so much stuff, brands etc. ... but I also thought about the developer logos. Just the logo on the bottom of the spine like you did maybe. But for me, not on the front, i will edit that.
Didn't print most of my covers for these very reasons, will print them all together with a consistent look.
My next Project (on the weekend maybe) will also be a Ps1 Dvd Cover, all three Crash Bandicoot games on one Cover.
Question: Is Demostenes (Thread-Starter) still active here? He did great work here, hope he is able to integrate the new pictures.

I was looking for the Wii template as well, but nobody seemed to have it, or be willing to upload it for me.
So I made my own. (I'll probably make more changes later)
It doesn't seem like the OP is still updating this thread, which is strange because they're still posting elsewhere. It's a pity, because I have some ideas for improvements for the thread. It seems like it'd make more sense to have thumbnail style representations of the covers instead of just text links, since in order to decide if you want a cover you'd have to click through a fairly large number of large images.
Edit: Unless there's a max number of images that can be contained per post. Is there?

This thread makes me realize how hideous the electric green Xbox cases really are, and how awesome the clear/black PS2/PS3 cases are for these custom covers.

Amano still making Square's artists look like amateurs.
And the funniest part is, all of this stuff I'm using is FROM Square's artists.
Good think you can just buy some empty DVD cases and put the Xbox games in there. They're the same size.
Not much effort and I dont like the Logo too much (so no printable Version) but I wanted to practice something:
Found a step-for-step youtube-Tutorial HOW TO DO the 3D and Shadow-Effects, check it out! Couldnt use the script from the first Post because I have CS6, maybe someone else has a similiar problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRNlJnkx2ZU&feature=channel_video_title
I also moved and edited the Xbox 360 Logos on the spine and the Front. It looks more like the Ps3-Design now and I like it much better!

You should fix that image link to http://www.mediafire.com/view/?z6kp1gclac11um8
Also, as a sidenote, starting today I might try to make a boxart for every game I finish, unless someone in this thread has already made one that I really like. (that means no Skyward Sword cover from me, since this one is great)

Has anyone posted a cover for PS All-Stars?
Also has anyone made a template for the Wii U?

I had one before Wii U came out, so I think it's a little outdated. I can work on updating it though.

whoah, i wanna print that one, but it won't let me...balls
i'm assuming you've checked the cover project? that's where i get all my saturn/DC ones
One fellow GAFfer made a cover, it looks like this (download link here). If I remember correctly there was a blue/white version of it (looked better), but I can't find the links.
How's this?
I don't actually have a Wii U so I'm not 100% sure that's the exact size (I based it on other images I found). It's a little bigger than the Wii covers at 27.42cm x 18.35cm.
Someone else might have a better one.

Rock Band 3
Beautiful work on these!
I hope you don't mind, but I saw that all you had were PS3 covers, but I have Rock Band on the 360. I blatantly stole your idea and ran with it, converting it to the X-Box 360. I added art for the first Rock Band while I was at it. Just uploading the 3D preview right now,
please go ahead
feel free to convert them for 360. that goes for any of the covers i put up here.kitsunisan

Virtue's Last Reward
The actual image shouldn't have the white stripe on the front. I think it was only because I ran it through the regular DS 3D box template.
Tron Evolution
Lego Batman
Also made a few for 999 and Gears of War Triple Pack, may post them later.
Nice, although Rock Band 1 and 2 shouldn't have the multi mic icon.

Tried taking a few pictures from my art book to make a back that fit a bit better with the rest of your Metal Gear covers. Best I could do with how the pictures came out. I'll try and scan the book when I get the chance and re do it or I could send them to you, as it is your cover.

Dreweyes did a Playstation All Stars cover a few pages back, but all links seem to be dead, I don't konw what he did. So I went ahead and threw my own together, hope he didn't use the same art.
And here's a lazy GTA V cover-

I used to do these for fun, and I was never able to post them because I was in account verification hell. I've since looked back on the old ones, and they look like garbage, so they'll stay there.
But here's a really simple job on Destiny, if you need to keep your Pre-Order Receipt in it.
Enjoy.

Here's my first attempt at a crappy minimalist cover - going by the assumption that PS4 boxes will retain the same Blu-ray boxes!
i mentioned this before, but i think my question fell on deaf ears. but i'll try again, for the ps3 cover that you reuploaded, could you fix the subtitles, they aren't centered with it's respective art, unlike the 360 cover.
i really like the cover, but the off-placement of the subtitle is throwing me off
thank you for your great work though, they're great stuff

Not really satisfied with this Tomb Raider cover because it has Lara drawing with her left hand, but there's no other way to use it. It wouldn't look right with her on the back imo. But, need something to put my game in, I bought the steelbook from Target and don't want that damaged.
