How much more can you lift that image? Im thinkin you should try to get the main character a little higher up towards center of front. Looks smooth though.

The composition of the cover, spine, and back are awesome.... but the bright-white back feels somewhat non-sequitor. Have you tried a more neutral-toned color on the back to blend with the spine and cover?

Awesome work, keep it coming!

I found some more of the artwork to splice in and recreated a watermark of the texture from the japanese cover...

Thoughts?

Thanks to BIG BEAR for the source for the back, and thanks to NeoC for coming up with the full frontal look in the first place...

Comments? Or should I just upload this puppy?

Cheers,
Ben

I will probably upload both this weekend after I come up with a suitable Notice saying the inserts are for free personal use only...

Cheers,

Wow that Metal Slug illustration on the front cover is very strong(NICE)!! It almost drowns out the rear cover.
You did a nice job on the back cover of that MS5 too.

Probably hadn't been noticed but KOF94 is the only KOF that I have not messed with. I didn't know what the hell to do with the front. Do you plan on filling that space with something? At one time, I thought I would put both teams on the bottom looking up at a onimus Rugal image or something over the top but I really never sold it to myself.

It's looking good though, I'll keep my eye out for the final product!

You guys continue to amaze me with the inserts you put out. Makes me feel like I should put away my paintbrush!! Keep up the good work!

KoF 94 release candidate
kof94-legeek-copy2.jpg


Yeah NeoC, I noticed 94 was one you haven't done yet (it's also the only KoF I own so far), so it made sense to give it a go. I'm keeping the white space so far, but as you see I shifted stuff around a bit. I love the flyer copy, "Action-Packed Pugilistic Fun!"

What do you think?

Grinwing, keep at it man, practice makes perfect!
