BlazingStar & Pulstar Full Frontals

[Neo Si]

Hello all,

I was looking at the flyers on TAFA, and thought these might serve as a good basis for full frontal inserts maybe?

Blazing Star Is it possible to get rid of all the writing using PhotoShop?

Pulstar

Oh, and what about these for a Prehistoric Isle 2 full frontal? With just that funky background pattern stretched over the spine?

I will have a crack at the PI2, as that could be quite simple. But my Photoshop skills are below crap.

Cheers

I too would love a nice high res Blazing Star cover scan. Due to the price of the AES version though, I doubt that'll be happening any time soon.

Yeah, I'm wanting to get a full set of full frontal inserts for my collection too.. I dunno, I just don't like the look of the traditional grey boxes. ... is this a UK thing, the penchant for full artwork cases d'you think?

I've managed to find most of what I want thanks to the designs of le_geek, neocvera and loopy_eddie .. but good full frontal versions of Pulstar and Blazing Star are still to be found.

Unobstructed original artwork that will mimic the originals is pretty hard to locate for these two particular inserts.I've managed to find pieces that will mimic the original inserts but this will take some time to get done.

wow man, that blazing star front is totally awesome, motherfuckers why didnt they release this for the cd.

 

[Neo Si]

The grey cases are cool, I mean anything you guys do is better than I could manage. But after looking at my Japanese MD games, all with 'full frontal' artwork and funky spine art, I think the MVS carts deserve sprucing up a bit.

As for mimicing the original art, well, I'm not too bothered. It doesn't have to be that close to the original.

It'll be a great day when every MVS cart has a choice of Classic or FF insert.

I have plans for a full frontal Blazing Star, but it involves a shit load of photoshop touch up, so I don't know how soon I'll get to it...

I have the Blazing Star back cover down pat. I just need to figure out how to place that red planet. I try to keep the touchups I do to a minimal. The more unobstructed stuff I can find, the better..
Maybe I'll have 6-7 hundred lying around when the game (BLAZING STAR) pops up for sale
I have alot of stuff on tap for release....so much that i don't know where to begin..
I was thinking I may re-debut with RB2,something I won't prefer to use in illustrator..

thanks but that was the easy part. I'm not feeling the patience to cut through an image with care and precision to lay it on top of that foundation.

rough cut of the concept.

 

[Neo Si]

That is absolute class, man. Amazing job.

Really looking forward to printing this and the Last Resort ff. Nice one guys.

 

[Xian Xi]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

 

[2Dfan]

Looking good

 

[pellucidity]

It's people like you that make going MVS so easy.

$30-$50 for most carts...
$7 for a Shockbox
$3 to get that soon-to-be-amazing art on your Neo shelf.

Excellent!

 

[Neo Si]

How's that Blazing Star coming along NeoC? My cart's in need!

I'm wondering if any of the issues of Neo Geo Freak magazine might be a good source for Pulstar artwork?

What happened to this Chris?

Did you scrap it, or is it in limbo...

It looks great so far, and was curious as to if it would be finished.

heh, it did kinda get shuffled away into neverland but I had gotten a bit further along. Gowcaizer (forum member) re-did the title logo.

the source art as you all know is pretty rough, so this would be one of those "good from far but far from good" looking inserts.

Looks good to me - what do you mean?

once you see the actual pdf and look at the artwork, you'll see what I mean. Doesn't look bad downscaled here but printed it wont look so hot.

Here's something I started for Pulstar (thanks Neo Si for the idea).

Is that lensflare a cover up, part of the original, or just "cool"?

I added a lensflare to compensate for the one I cut out. The original artwork has it but I cut it out when I dropped the ships onto my background. The ships still have the lighting so it was one of those things I had to do in order for it to blend.

Ah.

It is a little overbearing on the artwork if you ask me.

yeah it is a bit bright, good thing thats something that can be adjusted.
