Sonic Xtreme cover contest

I think Jon's makes a nice Joke cover



and i made an animated version of his...



HOLoGRAM! If Space Channel 5 can have one why not sonic?! xD

 

On a personal level I'm not overly keen on the 'Xtreme' the font especially, but other than that you've done a really great job there.

I would have liked to contribute as my ability to use photoshop isn't too bad, but as I'm not really too great at illustration I don't feel I could make anything particularly worth making since I could only use an image of Sonic that's already been seen so many times.

 

Cleaned up euro cover

I finally had some minutes to spare and work on my cover a bit and clean it up, i have no idea what to write on the back yet

I went with this rather dull image for the front cover because it has a SX look (not sure if its really a SX image or not) and because IMHO looks like the type of image used in PAL covers. Im trying to make mine look as oficial as possible.
I would like to think that if the game was released back then it would have a very similar cover to the one Im making.

Once again let me know hot it looks! :nod:

There have been lots of cool covers submited but I think most of them have too much of a 2007 Sonic look(ie Johnny's) or plain Sonic 1 look (ie NaOnak's).


As for the new submissions I liked Taucia's US insert but I think it could still use more tweaking, and I also liked negora's PAL cover but you should remove that +6 logo,PAL games at that time didnt have those, and I also think you should try some other fonts for the 'Xtreme' bit.

edit: for the Joke cover's I think Jamtex's cover rocks!

 

Negora your design is by far the best, a couple more details and it should look like a pro work.:thumbsup:

Try to make a US and JPN covers

I'm getting a seizure nowh:h:

 

Really digging this, it takes the "official" design and goes with it. Id say this one gets my vote!

 

Not sure if this matters any more, but here's mine:

 

looks very nice. sorry for the noob question but is that all your own idea or is it based on something? i like the "ring of saturn" thing.

 

ASSEMbler: You're referring to the text to the right of the "compact disc" logo, I assume? That came from a Japanese cover that I scanned. I only have 2 Japanese games, but they both have that text. I assume it's kanji.

cez: I tried to fit Sonic to the style of the 15th anniversary Sonic, and the logo was based on the original Sonic the Hedgehog cover, but besides that it's all original.

 

the text is indeed japanese and means "instruction manual". as you know (almost) all japanese single CD games only have that stuck into the jewel case serving also as a front cover.

other than that great idea! only the logo doesn't look that japanese to me. maybe change that.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. I was thinking of adding some katatana, though I'm not sure what sort of design it should be (font, color, etc.). Also, what katatana would you use for "extreme?" エクステリモ？

 

Codeman =>cannot say anything for the german text,

but there's errors in the French text

 

Hey guys and gals, inspired by the whole Sonic Xtreme event that took place over the past week, I decided to finish a little something that I had worked on but never quite finished. Below are pictures of a Sonic piñata that I had worked on some years ago but never really finished. I had a picture under my topic "Phantasy Star Collection" but it was just a one side shot. Anyways, I hope you enjoy ;P.

 

PhantasyStar: Woah! It looks like very cute . Great job, I like it much.

 

now make a mario one.

 

ok, in all honesty: my cover is the crappiest piece of crap ever. i feel like i would somehow be polluting the files if the that pile of poopy was included. so for the sake of purity and for the love of all that is sacred and holy on this earth, don't include my design as a "joke cover." thank you.

 

It's handmade, based on the Sonic 2 us cover
