2nd Art Contest

[Suyo]

THIS MONTH'S TOPIC:

WII COVERS
Sometimes, custom covers are better than official ones. Sometimes, you need covers for WiiWare. We care about that.


RULES

Can be any Wii, WiiWare or Virtual Console game.
Use the Wii Cover Template.
Can be saved in any filetype except jpg.
No transparency.
Multiple entries are allowed.


HOW THE JURY RATES
Same standard as all the previous contests. You can get a max of 20 points.

10 points: Eye-Catching Appeal
Simply, does it look good? Are we drawn to it? Are we interested in it?
5 points: Game "Distance"
Does it describe the game well or does it make a happy game look rated Mature?
5 points: Effort
Did you just google random pics and insert them or did you draw it completly on your own?

The calculated average of all ratings is your final score.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
After you finished your cover, upload it to imageshack and post the link here. Please do not use [img] tags since they will stretch the page extremly.

Let's-a-go!

Hints:
- Use some image editor with layer functions, like GIMP. Then you can jsut overlay your pic with the cover easily.
- If you really use M$ Paint, draw your cover image first with the original size (1024px × 680px) And then copy the cover template over it, but with black as the transparent color.
- (add your own ones here)

You can make your own game up, right? Or do we have to use already made games?

Can be any Wii, WiiWare or Virtual Console game.

No made up ones, sorry. But if there's enough demand, I'll add this too. Though I would have to change the judging criteria.

[Megar]

Im gonna end up with SM64, Mega Man 3 or Super Mario Bros.
Also, Can I have a an extension to the 20th of August¿

[Newgeneration]

I was going to make a Wii cover of SMG2, but that ain't working out for me, I guess I'll try Super mario world.

Did you just google random pics and insert them or did you draw it completly on your own?

...I can't draw worth crap, and that means both drawing on paper, and on ms paint.

Just one question before I start.Can we make the cover based off of a flash game?

[Newgeneration]

Can be any Wii, WiiWare or Virtual Console game.

Has to be a Wii game, WiiWare, or a Virtual console game. Though...

No made up ones, sorry. But if there's enough demand, I'll add this too. Though I would have to change the judging criteria.

Also, speaking of custom cover art, I'll probably make ones for my other favorite games too. But just to pass the time.

Wow... I thought this would be more popular. Meh, oh well. I would have submitted something if could actually access a computer where I could do something... but I can't. I can be online here to see updates and stuff, but I can't do this, I wantz to!

[Buff_]

Double post means... yes OMG someone submitted!

Yeah, I kinda changed some things to get the images to fix.. and I seem to be the only one entering.. yay. I kinda just whipped it up out of nowhere after seeing something about this game. Anyways, look at how badly I've done this one http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4404/68518769.png !
