Something I whipped up in short order.

Not completely satisfied with it yet though. And the source image is by our very own and very amazing Orioto.

Thx, i don't need to participate in this thread to be there now
The thread is cool by the way but less than this other board's thread with book cover with videogames !

Better I think (#2)

Just some ghetto fast Final Fantasy ones. Having a harder time with FF6 since it's my favorite as with the latter ones since I haven't had much experience with them. FF2 was a bit too easy, but I suppose for such an alright game, it needed a cover to make it look better than it played.

 

[HK-47]

Holy balls, please do the whole series

 

[McBacon]

Those are real nice Darwin

I looked at this and thought "Co? What game is that?"

Then I thought "Ueda? Didn't he do... oh."

Neat idea. This thread is awesome. I give it a thumbs up.

 

[Bernbaum]

god damn.... so awesome

is the design original? very cool concept. the whole premise of the game in a single picture.

Yes, I designed it all in Photoshop. The plane is adapted from a stock image.

The cover nails both the game and this thread's aim of encouraging subtly indirect references to gameplay/story elements.

I haven't seen this linked elsewhere in the thread, but someone took the time to collect every posted cover and host them on their own site: http://www.palesky.com/misc/gaf_collection_collected/

Not too happy with Halo 3 here. If I were less lazy I'd have snapped Arbiter and Chief in a different pose to the one in Halo 2.

Still, I'm sure there are far better for Halo to come from the rest of the community!

 

[The Librarian]

Who's the guy of Halo 3 one suppose to be?

Who's the guy of Halo 3 one suppose to be?

Not a guy, it's Cortana.

Who's the guy of Halo 3 one suppose to be?

Guess that doesn't work then...

 

[Fuu]

It does work. I like them.

 

[theJwac]

Liked the concept, tried to improve the execution....

Good lord! That is outstanding.

 

[MirageDwarf]

My compliments to the chief!

 

[Mark D]

This thread melts my fucking face off.

Really draws light to the fact that 99% of game covers are juvenile pieces of crap.

My compliments to the chief!

Everyone amazing work, these are awesome not to mention they fit almost perfectly as a wallpaper for my ipod touch. Keep it up! I wish I had Photoshop again, but I need a job.

lol, + for awesome, - for not posting it here

 

[HK-47]

Nice that the thread is getting recognized

[Ourobolus]

Goddamn, I wish I were artistic enough to create some of these. Please, keep this thread going!

Anyone up for trying Nocturne?
Or Chrono Trigger?
EDIT: Yes, I see the Frog one. I like it, but...

 

[somnific]

while i've been off on other photoshop adventures, holy cow, the thread has blown up!

well, give me a little bit and i'll have the collected collection up to date.

EDIT: an awesome thing is that since the thread has been making the rounds, even people not registered on neogaf have been submitting some entries:

from Krypter:

from -VIP0R-:

pretty neat! thanks guys!

 

[Totz]

Or Chrono Trigger?
EDIT: Yes, I see the Frog one. I like it, but...

How about this one?

 

[Ourobolus]

How about this one?

Nice - simple. I like it.
Well, tried my hand at one. Based on the Criterion covers I've seen, they like to go with simple, and...I'm not artistic, so...

 

[HK-47]

For Torment, I recommend the theme of circularity, since its was the main theme of the game

 

[Zeep]

I'm not the most creative person or the best at photoshop, but...

 

[Stealth]

Pretty happy with how this one turned out. Can't take much credit for anything but cleaning up the image, though.

 

[neojubei]

Usually I hate Halo art, but this is quite good.


Here are 2 of mine

 

[Nheco]

Guys, you´re on hard news:
http://screwattack.com/HardNews/041309

The last one.

 

[Sfida]

I had made one for Persona, but it wound up looking too convoluted, so here's one for Skies of Arcadia, instead.

 

[FromTheFuture]

Oh my god, we should have a G in the top left corner the way Criterion Collection has a C. I don't know what it is about it, but it looks awesome when it's there.

Hey neo, think you could do a ME one with the dual planet eclipse from the beacon vision.
