looks great...maybe some few motion blur effect on some slots to give a spining action effect.

Anyway le geek, i'm really fan of all your work and your inserts are really amazing !!!

Cheers,
JacKc.

I wasn't happy with the "official" artwork for Bang Bang Busters, so I made this version. This will probably replace my earlier one...

Your inserts look great.

Nice touch-ups on the V-Liner one too.

OK,

Both V-Liners, both Gunlords and the revised Bang Bang Busters are now all on my site.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Le Geek, the download link for the gunlord-ff-legeek.zip file on the site gives a 404 error.

Looks great!

Have you or anyone else made a multicart insert? It would allow to get quite creative. But then again maybe that´s not kosher.

Thanks for the praise, but yeah sorry, I am not interested in making multicart inserts...

NAM-1975 & Sengoku 3 are available for download. The Shockbox scene has slowed down quite a bit since I started making these, following in the footsteps of many prior Photoshop tinkerers, but I continue to the enjoy the process and have plans to make more. Here is my rough itinerary in no particular order…

Requests:
  • Color correct KOF 2002 inserts
  • create Double Dragon insert
  • create Street Hoops insert
  • Have a go with ST-V inserts: Die Hard Arcade, Columns 97, and Terra Diver

Redesigns:
  • The Last Blade 2
  • Neo Driftout
  • Samurai Shodown II
  • Samurai Shodown III
  • Sengoku

Minor Tweaks:
  • KOF 2000
  • The Last Blade
  • Metal Slug
  • Puzzled

These may take awhile, but I do plan on getting around to all of them, hopefully by the end of the year.

Cheers,
Ben

The Gunlord insert is a thing of beauty shame I will never own it! :(

Here are three revised inserts. I mainly wanted to fix the position of the front art work on these, but The Last Blade fix became a little more involved ;)

Here is the new Last Blade

I also FINALLY color corrected the King of Fighters 2002 inserts, so the hot pink background should stand out from the red.

Big fan LeGeek! :)
I even used your BBB background for a Euro layout. I think your work may make me regret staying away from the "full frontal"/wraparound art styles now.

In other news: Would changing the Magician Lord front to read "1 Player", be a valid minor tweak?

Nice BBB insert!

I'm not entirely happy with the Magician Lord Insert, but yeah I can go in and change it to 1 Player in my next round...

I think i may have messaged you about making a hoop insert. If it wasn't me, I'm greatly interested. The ones we have now are really pixelated, due to bad original pictures.

nice work as always.
