New Nightmare in the Dark Classic Shock

This is almost identical to my old insert, except the artwork and logo are much higher quality (thanks Lithy!). I've also added the Gavaking logo on the back.

I'll work up a full frontal as well soon...

Cheers,
Ben

This is NeoC's excellent insert I just shoehorned the AES front image in as a variant...

The back cover illustration is awsome but needs to be faded out imo. RIght now it overshadows the MDIII content abit imo. The background on the front looks nice.

WOW.

All I can say is, if you just stuck the words "Last Resort" on the spine, I'd print that insert up just the way it is...

Yeah, that Last Resort insert is amazing.

I really like the full frontal style with the artwork covering the whole insert. I'm sure Pulstar and Blazing Star (and maybe even PI2) are games worthy of your ff efforts, please?

I'm currently working on a Sengoku Lengends 2001 insert. But my photoshop skills are crap. So it'll probably just be a rework of one of the current ones, with the S3 logos swapped out for SL2001.

Actually, I think the back could be tweaked a little by playing with the sizes and going down to three screenshots. I'll play with it tomorrow (file is at work)

Just a suggestion, but how about making the ships on the front a little larger to fill the front more, and have the orb from the smaller ship go over onto the spine?

Yes. I was actually thinking about suggesting to enlarge the ship on the front but I thought that this would minimize the landscape affect.
