ST-V case art, Genesis-style

[the7k]

Hey. Started working on ST-V case art in the style of Genesis/Megadrive covers from ye goode ole days. Hoping to make covers for all of the games that aren't dedicated, mahjong, etc.

Goes on EA Sports Genesis cases that have spines 1.25 inches wide. Otherwise, the cart just won't fit.

Pics of 'em in action

Downloads for you... that I hope work.

Those look great, man!

 

[LuKaUK]

Those look incredible, excellent job.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Hopefully will make more soon.

I don't own or have never considered owning an ST-V (I'm a console gamer tbh).

However, these look so good, it makes me tempted to buy a consolised unit, just so I can utilise your artwork!

Very nice. I look forward to seeing the Golden Axe & RSG one's next, eh?

 

[loegan43]

Those looks outstanding. Great job.

 

[Cyclops]

Looks great! I see some Atomiswave ones too in the pics.

 

[Chempop]

Very nice! My understanding is that some of the tabs on the inside of the EA cases need modification for the cart to fit, right?

 

[wataru330]

That AJPW featuring Virtua needs fixed, mang. None of those 'wrasslers are in the game!

Finding high res art for that game is a crap-shoot. I would have loved to use that image I used on the spine for the front cover, but all the images I found were far from 300dpi. If I can find a good quality image of the Saturn cover, I could attempt to re purpose it.

Yeah, you will need to do some cutting, bending, etc. I wrote something up about that here. http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/th...om-crap-py-genesis-sports-games--276614.phtml

I haven't come up with an interesting theme for Atomiswave yet, currently those are just using basic art using flyers and such. I'll do something more interesting for them eventually.

 

[ahcmetal]

Those are pretty slick, I dig the retro look they've got!

 

[K1ngArth3r]

I cannot believe my eyes! These are fantastic!

Just when I though creative people had given up creating ST-V covers what with the multi cart and all!

I would love to see the whole set get done (especially Golden Axe The Dual and Final Fight Revenge )

Thanks for the great work so far!

The two worst games on the platform

The two worst games on the platform

Golden Axe TD is an awesome game you swine Final Fight TR is shocking I agree but I paid so much for it I want it to look sexy!

You just made the sig with that statement, long live shelf queens!

 

[K1ngArth3r]

I know I shouldn't LOL at that because it's sad to be a shelf queen but I had to smile at least guilty as charged with regards to this game!

 

[the7k]

Added Radiant Silvergun and edited AJPWFV

 

[skinny503]

looking forward to seeing more!

 

[ggallegos1]

Love the look, keep them coming!

 

[Rob Black]

Nice man!

 

[the7k]

Added Golden Axe: The Duel. (I like Frank Frazetta.)

 

[the7k]

Added Final Fight Revenge. (Yeah, I didn't WANT to do yet another Poison cover, but the Haggar art I really wanted to use was just too dark. The bright pink just popped so much more.)

Not a prob, glad to help.

Uploaded Suiko Enbu. Man, that took me a lot more work than I thought it would. Can't believe I spent so long on such a "no one is picking up an ST-V just to play this game" sort of title.

Also uploaded Astra Superstars.

Added Cotton 2.

Added Elan Doree.

 

[KalessinDB]

Oh wow. I was thinking about trying to make something like these myself, but I could have never held a candle to what you've done here. Thank you very much.
