I made a Minecraft box art, and I'd like to share it. - Games

Blah blah imitating Skyrim's cover. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5187584/Craftmine/cover.png[/IMG] I guess i could scatter some ore blocks around.

Found this on a website : [img]http://download.gameblog.fr/images/jeux/j/7102.jpg[/img] It's small but the idea is very good imo.

[QUOTE=Antdawg;32448803]That's a lot better than the OP's one, however the only problem I have with it is that it makes the Minecraft world look "small", when it is actually a very large world, and I believe a Minecraft box art should emphasise that.[/QUOTE] You're right about that.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;32449179]Found this on a website : [img]http://download.gameblog.fr/images/jeux/j/7102.jpg[/img] It's small but the idea is very good imo.[/QUOTE] Outdated Minecraft logo, outdated Mojang logo, and the character looks shopped in. He doesnt match the photo at all.

Alright, here's the back cover art I mentioned earlier: [img]http://i.imgur.com/otHC6.png[/img]

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;32450507]What the fuck am I looking at???[/QUOTE] A picture of Jimi Hendrix overlaid over a picture of smoke that has been color swapped to purple.

[QUOTE=slimd1995;32450818]I don't think it really fits the simplicity of the front.[/QUOTE] That's the beauty of it. The consumers will see the simplicity of the front cover and might want to see more, so they turn the case around only to get a blown load of content all over their faces.

you guys are total dickheads when it comes to not appreciating someone elses work, you dont just him its crap and to stop making things you give him advice on how to improve his future work and how he can make it look better

Also, there's been plenty said that he can improve on. Like making it more simple to draw the buyer's eye, or make it unique.

The idea of of game case is to pull you in with simple, pretty artwork(not in game) and then hook you with a decent amount of information about gameplay on the back. This does neither.

It could work like Animal Crossing but a bit bigger.

Sorry OP, your work is bad and you should feel bad for making those bad box arts.

[img]http://i56.tinypic.com/33xhc48.png[/img] still the best box art

OP, I feel like you're getting the box art idea all wrong, judging from your posts, also what the fuck is the purple one is it an album cover or something it looks like a guy in a bunch of purple drugs on weed.

[QUOTE=slimd1995;32445924]There's 4 screenshots, each with a vignette filter on them, after I messed around with the brightness and contrast, they're all under a custom template, I downloaded the font used on the back, give it a drop shadow, and cut the logo out myself. Then I created the presentation from scratch. Including the time I took in Minecraft creating the lake of lava, burning down the village, and taking the screenshots, it's taken about [B]5 hours[/B] total.[/QUOTE] hah

adding a bunch of filters doesn't make it look nice instantly really. what you did is just silly.

[QUOTE=MedicWine;32449851]Outdated Minecraft logo, outdated Mojang logo, and the character looks shopped in. He doesnt match the photo at all.[/QUOTE] I said I liked the idea, doesn't mean it has to be taken exactly that way and put into cover.

Honestly, if I were to make some Minecraft box art, I would use ingame screenshots. Just of the landscape. Specifically of some of the crazier stuff, like the fuck-huge mountain arches and giant caves and shit. If I still had my old world, it'd be a screenshot from my cabin roof, looking under a mountain arch into the sunset over the ocean. On the back, some screenshots of monsters down in a cave, the new nether structures, and 'Bert' aka TESTIFICATE.

front should be simple, back should contain info and some in-game pictures I guess.

[QUOTE=mchapra;32458173]Wow, I am flattered someone likes that thing.[/QUOTE] Apparently 48 people like it, and that was enough to get it in to the Hall of Fame.
