“The GAF Collection” – Weekend Photoshop Thread

[Fireflu]

Yeah I love the Bioshock one as the waves also look like clouds, depending on how you look at it, which totally juxtaposes the whole under water city aspect

[SpacePirate Ridley]

because i love this thread, i felt compelled to collect all the covers and put them up on one page. my apologies to the artist whose images i resized; i want to go for some conformity. also my apologies to those that i might have missed-- please let me know if this is the case (case or credit wise). http://www.palesky.com/misc/gaf_collection_collected/

Wow, thanks very much. That's incredible.

I really need to do more, I love ths thread.

[viciouskillersquirrel]

I'm not very good at this.. =( Another attempt:

It works pretty well though. Classical paintbrush style as opposed to cell-shaded anime.

[Foxix]

Pretty simple stuff (I suck at Photoshop ) But I had to dig through an unbelievable amount of animu to find decent fanart

Trying to go minimalistic...

Yeah I know... FILTERFILTERFILTER... I'm not very good at photoshop besides basic drawing tools. I'm not doing system shock any good. I will remake or make another one when I'm more awake! Art by Glen Fernandez.




Agh, the more I look at it the less sense it makes.

That is EXACTLY what I was going for. Anyone unfamiliar with the game would think it's just another cityscape with a plane in the clouds- but those who have played it would understand the ominous prelude to the events of Jacks return to Rapture.

Cheers!

Also, the Noby Noby Boy 'Very Hungry Caterpillar' is brilliant.

[GrandTheftAero]

this thread is brilliant!! here's some of mine





tried to put the MGS one in box mockup, looks more like a history book

[Daigoro]

[Aokage]

[MNC]

Oh fuck, quite actual and awesome as well.

I should mask more often

[Echoes]

OH. MY. GOD.

I want this HQ, please.

[beelzebozo]

these are amazing.

can someone well-versed in printing these walk me through resizing to the appropriate size for dvd cases so i can replace the shittier box art for this much better stuff?

If you are serious: The majority of contributions have stuck to the 348x490 pixel size image, and have been compressed. They will not look too great if you enlarge them. You could try pm-ing the makers of the ones you want enlarged and they may have kept the original image before resizing and compressing for web, but it is unlikely.

[beelzebozo]

oh, i'm definitely serious.

[Jocchan]

DOOD.

Shouldn't those be showing a snowfield not the desert?

[JonathanEx]

If someone made a DVD size template for the whole cover, that'd be great then.

[jetpacks was yes]

This thread is awesome. Here's my contribution:

[Yazus]

My first cover art ever. Be nice with me GAF

[Zeenbor]

I ... have no idea which game this is *cries in shame*

Afro Samurai?

[BGBW]

[mik]

Haha--nice.

(but it should be "A Ubisoft Production" ;-) )

[larvi]

What's the shadow supposed to be on the Babyz's box? It makes it look like you took a photo with you between the light source and the box.

[daCuk]

NeoGAF is full of talent.

Next time the company I work for requires designers, I will send them this thread COMPLETE.

[BGBW]

(but it should be "A Ubisoft Production" ;-) )

Oh, thanks! :)

The shadow of the main baby on the actual box art.

[Jocchan]

Oh, thanks! :)The shadow of the main baby on the actual box art.

This one?

I actually posted a link in the OP to a bunch of templates, but I guess you might have missed it: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forum...p?topic=1610.0

They have templates for all the major system boxes. They're all PSD files I think though, so if you don't have Photoshop they might not be usable. In any case, you'd need an HD source for the cover first which most people haven't posted. In retrospect I should've asked for that in the OP originally, but I didn't even think of it at the time.

Fantastic Sonic covers! There's no aliasing on the Sonic ball but there is for Tails and Knuckles. What happened there?

[GrandTheftAero]

OH. MY. GOD. I want this HQ, please.

here you go.



click on the image. i was bored so i also made the back cover (which you can crop if you don't like it )

EDIT: oh crap, i just realized there's a typo on the back cover!! fixed the typo and updated the link to the correct one, sorry for any inconvenience that i may caused :(

also made a cover for its sequel:



and here's the HQ zelda cover in case somebody wants it:

Shouldn't those be showing a snowfield not the desert?

yeah... i found this image and just paste it on photoshop and slap some title on it

[zaidr]

Thanks. I copied the Tails and Knuckles balls from the base Sonic one. That might have been the problem... donno.

[Retro]

Oh what the hell, Might as well make another one since my favorite series isn't being represented.

[Shurs]

. i was bored so i also made the back cover (which you can crop if you don't like it )

I love the back cover. These should all have back covers!

[FromTheFuture]

I just wanted you to know... this is amazing.

Meh, it's bad, but I don't think the blue bomber has had any love so far.

[Bulla564]

Some incredible talent here. Can someone do a good GOD HAND?

[beelzebozo]

here you go.

:bow :bow :bow :bow

[Shiggie]

I'm not very good at this.. =( Another attempt:

Jesus Christ!

If its okay with you FromTheFuture, can you avatar-ize this for me?

[Willeth]

And why not. Original image is here. Toying with the idea of altering the colour on the sidebar, but meh.

[Bernbaum]

Phenomenal, hats off!

[Willeth]

Thanks!

Just blurred the title a bit to make it fit with the original a bit better and changed the sidebar colour:



Also toying with the idea of changing the date to 2008

[Bernbaum]

Unfortunately, that would be the grim reality for us in PALtopia :(
