I'm trying to create my own JAPANESE Ganryu insert.

As you know, this game was never actually released in Japan, so a Japanese flyer or MVS art never popped out.

I think I accomplished one of the most difficult tasks: re-creating the Japanese main logo for the cover, starting from schratch and using a title screenshot from the game as a reference.

Another difficult task is to get some offical art bits. As for the starring (Musashi) image, that's badly cutted in the MVS english art. But I know an English flyer does exist, showing the main character illustration in full, just with few writings on it (thus quite possible to polish with Photoshop). That one flyer would be suitable for the cover, I think. I found a low-quality scan of it at a site called Arcade Flyer Depot or something.

Does anyone have this flyer? It would be critical for me to get a high quality scan of it.

As for the back, I would try to rewrite the Japanese story, and also to translate into Japanese the MVS-art basic instruction...

Any help would be appreciated!

I just sent you a jpeg. Original file is vectorial graphic. Must be upgraded a bit in term of innner shading, actually.

As you may see, the grey 'metal' shading in the interior parts of the kanji has to be put in diagonal to perfectly match the original logo pattern.

Also, a special font has to be used to write 'Musashi Ganryuuki' just below the kanji writing (that romaji writing is part of the original logo itself).

But I'm satisfied as the thing is vectorial, thus can be scaled up to any priting dimension without losing quality.

I only have the MVS kit flyers. I've never seen the promo flyer anywhere with the exception of that online archive. I'm thinking that character would have to be re created,vector style as well.
