Video Gamerips Cover Art Thread

I finally got sick of all my gamerips without proper cover arts, so I decided to try my hand at some basic GIMP and whip some up. Too often it seems like such album covers are impossible to come by, so I figured someone should make a thread as a repository of sorts for people to post any cover art they have created for their own collection of gamerips. Here are a couple of mine:

Animal Crossing: City Folk

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Luigi’s Mansion

This is one of my favorites.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Pikmin 2

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue & Red Rescue Team

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness

I couldn’t really find any good way to splice the artwork together, so I eventually settled on this.

Pokemon Ranger

This one was actually way harder than it seems, since you can’t simply crop the game cover without hitting the ESRB symbol, so I actually scanned in my strategy guide and touched up the blemishes on it (since the Rangers are in foil) and used that.

Pokemon Rumble

Pokemon Trozei!

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

Super Mario Sunshine

Super Smash Bros. Melee

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Feel free to critique, but I may have to ask you how to do some of the things you mention. 😀 And please post your own. I figure people here are always helping each other out by posting soundtracks, but since I have no idea how to rip music, I’d be useful in another way.

Remember, sometimes it’s as simple as finding a good piece of official artwork, cropping it, and slapping the logo on it. (Be sure to blur the edges if you had to cut it out of a picture, though. And shadows make for a nice effect.)

I settled on 400×400 for the album arts since it gave me a range of options of original pictures to use, rather than opting for bigger sizes.

Here’s a bonus bit of artwork for all the K.K. Slider fans out there:

Special thanks goes to Angela, whose website is here (http://websitetaylor.com). With her permission, I used the background and "K.K. Slider" text from a desktop background she made and posted on her blog.

Here’s also a couple albums I made for the Emerald and Platinum extra tracks. I tried to make them look like the official soundtracks up to Diamond and Pearl’s. I did not add the "Music Super Complete/Collection" text since they are not. You may add it if you wish.

Pokemon Emerald

Pokemon Platinum

I know these two don’t look great all blown up, but they look fine in iTunes or similar programs, lol

How do you cut out logos?
