So, for my little Brother's Christmas gift, I decided to offer him some retro games, since he recently acquired a used SNES. I bought two cassettes that came with no box, no booklet. I decided to create a custom box for them and I though, I might as well do some kind of custom artwork that links to my passions as well, a mash-up of the games with classic horror posters. I think they turned out pretty good so I wanted to show them to you guys who might appreciate to see that.
I've decided to design them on the vertical side, becauseI want to work on movie poster designs that are usually vertical.
For Final Fantasy 3 / 6, I remembered that monster Ultros, that comes back a few times during the game, and I thought he was perfect to put in the TENTACLES poster :
I did the drawing by myself, took maybe....15 to 20 hours ? The longest part was to color it, because I did it all from a mackbook air, with it's trackpad instead of a mouse. and I think it's one of the first time I worked colors entirely through digital painting.
For Zombies Ate My Neighbor, I couldn't do otherwise than remaking the Dawn of the Dead poster. I decided to do a photoshop montage. faster to do. I placed in my brother in, as a blood splattered zombie killer. My bro's name is Adam, and my friends know me as a guy who do a lot of puns. So, there you got. Adawn of the Dead.
I changed the blurbs too. "When there's no more room in hell. the Zombies will eat the neighbors"
I also designed the back with mostly the original games' back cover texts, and some funky credits. and for "Zombies..." on the back cover I placed 2 shots from the Dawn of the Dead movie at the mall, and 2 screenshots from the zombies... game, at the mall stage :)
Anyway I hope you guys like the concept. I enjoyed doing a bit of artwork, it's been so long since last time I drew anything. I feel like I want to do more ! Maybe for his next birthday I'll get him another game and repeat the process. I will for sure at the very least, do some custom mixtapes. So fun.
