You did a really killer job on that insert man, for real. Hats off to you and the countless hours of photoshop patience it must have taken to clean that up.

BUT....

If I can make one small suggestion, take it or leave it, I would left justify that title centered above the other text that is left justified. Either that or shrink it so its not hanging over the edge defined by the screenshots.

Still man, totally killer work.

Good call which do you prefer?

Looks good but what I would do is adjust the contrast to make the colors more vibrant and the black darker at the same time. Not too dark though.

Other than that it looks awesome.

Agreed with the contrast comment (as there's very little actual 100% black on the insert, it looks washed out or faded). Also, there's no blue stripes on the back!

 

[le geek]

Yeah I need to adjust my monitor at home. It looks fine there but the star background is too washed out here at work...

But... No blue stripes for you!

Ben

 

[JammaGuy]

Le Geek, you are a truely amazing insert creator.. you should make posters as well!

 

[Lime2K]

But... No blue stripes for you!

I Have Photoshop. There Will Be Blue Stripes On My Insert, Even If You Don't Put Them There.

Thank you, that is all.

(Oh, by the way, there are blue stripes on my Metal Slug inserts ^___^)

Dumbass, you said "Thank you, that is all." then you continued on about some other rubbish........

Is that bottom front point on the main ship on the right supposed to be ghost-like?

Got better artwork for the Slug Gunner on the front so I'm passing it along to you, the consumer...

Fixed the placement of the front art...

Perfect.

I still don't understand what is going on with the dark, ghost-like part of the ship right here:

 

[themisterfalcon]

It kinda looks like the magic wand tool grabbed too much?

 

[Xian Xi]

I still don't understand what is going on with the dark, ghost-like part of the ship right here:

Its probably shadowing dude. If the light source is coming from 12 o'clock it wouldn't be illuminating the left wing.

I guess.

Like Xian Xi said, it's the shadowing from the artwork

It might be more prominent since I knocked out the stars and rotated the scorpion boss.

I'm not sure what to do about it, but it doesn't bother me. What do you guys think?
