My first one in this thread. That's the basic idea, I might do a full one later.

Looks great. Continue it. But I'd suggest you remove the "Remastered in HD" and "3D Compatible Game" bits.
 
I didn't read through the whole thread, so this might already exist. I've been working on recreating the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection steelbook cover art that comes with one of the Limited Editions.

Shouldn't be long until it's finished and printable :)

Looking good! Its cool to see a WIP on here. There is so much MGS art out there, you would think there would be more covers for the HD collection in here.

Though personally i like them as clean and simplistic as possible, without all the barcodes and ESRB all that extra "stuff". Maybe you could make two versions? The three colors are really awesome, Raiden especially!

I would love an Orange Box PS3 box art that doesn't suck.

I'd love the PC cover to be on the front and back, but be adjusted to look like a PS3 game, and it to have a spine similar to Portal 2.
But instead of it having a blue guy exiting the portal, have an orange guy entering the Portal.

Anyone up to the task?

Don't worry, that back cover is just a place holder. The real back cover on the steelbook is completely free of barcodes or any text even; just those three coloured stripes and MGS art.

id love to help out but im not clear on what you are looking for exactly..

I want to have it look like the Portal 2 PS3 cover. I want the spine to say Portal 1 with the logo showing the orange guy entering the portal(since 2 has the blue guy exiting the portal).
I want the rest of the art to look like the Portal PC cover, but tweaked to reflect PS3 standard covers. I don't really like the minimalist look, just want it to look like the rest of my PS3 games.

If you could do this, I would absolutely love you. I will print it out put it with my game and take pictures for you to see. Thanks in advance if so.

so you want your retail copy of orange box for ps3 to look like a portal1 to match your retail portal2 for ps3? Do you want the number "1" on there? or just "Portal"?

this plan doesnt leave much love for Freeman, but i'll see what i can do.

and if you REALLY want the spines to match, i altered the spines for both 1 and 2. Looks better than a website printed down a spine IMO.

For anyone having trouble with my covers : all fixed! No more bandwidth issues.

This old NES style looks really cool for WII games!


Oh and speaking of old games.. has anyone made a 3dbox script for gamecube or ps2? I really want to start tackling my old games. Thanks
 
I don't suppose anyone has the hi-res artwork for the original Morrowind/Oblivion and Skyrim covers stored somewhere? I'm trying to create some 'tome-like' custom covers, without any console logos or ratings (so basically, just the art).

Basically, this:

But much higher-res (and in Morrowind's case, without the logos). I haven't found anything, but I figure it can't hurt to ask. I wouldn't mind the game logo's still being on the cover, as long as all the rest wasn't there.

here's one for Skyrim. Just like dead island, everytime I see the map it makes me want to play it so the old map seemed fitting for coverart. Plus a little wax stamp. :) Maybe i should make one like this for Red Dead?

Upload your downloadable files to MediaFire.

Upload the previews (for thread use) to Abload.de.

http://minus.com/ Super easy to use, nice interface, does not compress images at all when uploading them, and there is a 10GB limit.

Is minus better than imageshack? seems like imageshack doesnt have a bandwidth cap either. Thanks,

Upload your downloadable files to MediaFire.

Upload the previews (for thread use) to Abload.de.

Thanks for the tip, im currently using mediafire and didn't even know you could link with thumbnails!

Can I please get someone to make me a Metroid Prime Trilogy box art that looks like an official Wii one, so I can get rid of this stupid tin case it's in?

Found this but the back seems to be of crappier quality than the front. Can someone fix the blurriness on the back or scan their copy and touch it up, or whatever. I'd be so grateful. I could care less for this dumb tin.

Hey fellow noise, most of these are very good but please put some thought into making these :D Sure even this works nice as a wallpaper, but when put on a game, as a single cover?

falloutcover.jpg


Doesnt translate too well ;D Take this as constructive feedback :)

I hear you sir, this one was kind of a guilty pleasure for me, and once printed out it works, makes you want to flip it around and see what the back looks like. Thought others might enjoy it as well. But thanks for the advice, I know this thread is more than just a wallpaper copy pasta, and im glad to be a part of it.
