Re: Tutorial: Designing Boxart
Okay. How about now? It looks a lot better, yes? I kept Bobs hair like that because I feel that it makes the art look cooler and more dynamic, and I didn't fix Apollo's anatomy problem because it's too much work.

Re: Tutorial: Designing Boxart
It's nothing like dynamic and nothing like much work. 3_3
Just take whichever artwork you used and resize it so that the head is in the same proportions as its neighbours'.
By the way Wesley is cut 2px under the top of the box, if you don't want to bother re-placing the artwork, just raise it. \o/

Re: Tutorial: Designing Boxart
Well...I may have kind of sorta deleted the Gimp file. So...I can't really do much more editing.
Re: Tutorial: Designing Boxart
You could make it from scratch?

Re: Tutorial: Designing Boxart
The link to the psd isn't working. Could you fix it, please?

I don't have the time to upload a file now, so if you can wait until I'm back from class in six hours, I'll have it for you!VirtAnderson wrote:The link to the psd isn't working. Could you fix it, please?

8:00-ish? Sounds good to me. I can wait.
...but if it's any later...
Just kidding. I can wait.

If you can't find character art of the character in one of their poses, would HD sprites work?

Tap wrote:For your character art to place on the boxart, I recommend the use of Creative Uncut's art gallery along with the Media Art file on Court-Records... you can find plenty of scans from the various artbooks on the latter, and official art with transparency in the former. Alternatively, you can also use HD sprites which work rather well, actually.

Re: Tutorial: Designing Boxart
Oops, didn't notice that. Thanks for that, as it was an epic fail on my part. By the way, I'm having a hard time cropping the character art to fit in the character boxes.
