Welcome to Round One of The Different Competition!

In this round, the objective is to make a cover for a game the fits this theme:

Existing Prequel:
This theme requires you to make a cover for a non-existing prequel to an existing game. The prequel has to be on a platform from last-gen. (i.e. PS2, XBOX etc.) and the existing game has to be from a current-gen. platform (i.e. XBOX360, PS3 etc.)


Rules:

- No WiP threads.
- The artist can not upload the cover on to the database before their round is up on the forums.
- No advertising on user-pages (Just in case)
- No cheating. (if its possible:p)

Failure to fit the guideline will cause a penalty if you win a round (i.e. Your time limit will be shorter than the other participants)

The Match-Ups are:

SGJin vs YellowYoshi127
Brettska99 vs Stevencho
GameRoomProductions vs Eco
del337er vs Sir Tobii
Zelda152 vs Death
Jayhog vs Presscorps

If you think the matchups are unfair, then message me or leave a comment on this thread and I will sort it out.

The boxes are expected on 19th January, 2009 (which means a week and a half).

Have fun creating!

[GameRoomProductions]

OK, great. Good luck Eco ;)

[SGJin]

Can you correct my user name from SGJain to SGJin.
I also might have a few questions about the existing prequel cateegory.

[jayhog]

Awesome, Good luck PressCorps :)

[Enchanter]

I also might have a few questions about the existing prequel cateegory.

Go ahead and ask.

[stevencho]

You put me up against Brettska99? -.-

[del337er]

I'm against Sir Tobbii??? I'm gunna lose :( Lol but im still in ;)

[SGJin]

Go ahead and ask.
Nvm, the discription kinda confused me.
I thought it ment, make a prequel to a game from the xbox, ps2, or gamecube and it prequel game has to be on the current consoles.

[Eco]

GRP?! :eek:

Good luck, man!

[Sir Tobbii]

I'm against Sir Tobbii??? I'm gunna lose :( Lol but im still in ;)

I'm gonna KICK YO ASS!!!!1

:P J/K, you're a great boxartist, best of luck yo you! ^^

Now to decide on what I'll vote on.

[jayhog]

Everybody's voted now right?

Its a tie! What happens now then?

[SGJin]

Everybody's voted now right?

Its a tie! What happens now then?

Wow, a perfect tie... D:

[GameRoomProductions]

Everybody's voted now right?

Its a tie! What happens now then?
We go ahead and use the theme: Existing Prequel. ;)

[jayhog]

We go ahead and use the theme: Existing Prequel. ;)

Good idea :p

[Sir Tobbii]

alright then, let's get our prequels on!

*starts thinking and booting up PS*

[del337er]

Well i guess prequel it is :/

[jayhog]

Well i guess prequel it is :/

Enchanter has the last say ;)

[Enchanter]

Don't go around deciding the round theme... are you running this competition? Huh? No, I didn't think so.:p

Im just kindding, Go ahead with Existing Prequel.

[SGJin]

Go ahead with Existing Prequel.

I have 2 questions then.
1) Does PC count as a valid current gen platform?
2) The game I am planning to make a box for had a prequel planned one point in time on the xbox, ps2, etc. but has since been canned and therefore, it no longer exist. Will that be a valid entry or does it have to be 100% made up?

PM me if you need more details.

PM me if you need more details.

1) PC would count as last gen.
2) Well, I think that would be okay, as long as the story idea is original (i.e. made up)

Aww.. back to planning then. D:

[del337er]

I'm not really sure how to do this one...all i can think of doing is to take a 360 game and put "The Beginning" after the title. I just dont get it :/

Can we make a prequel for a game that has yet to be released?

[Enchanter]

Uhh... well you are allowed to give the game a new title like some games with different names for their sequels.

Uhh.. Yeah, sure.

[PressCorps]

Completely forgot I joined this comp. =S

Anyway, better get started then....

Good luck jayhog.

Ah, so you're having issues. That's not good, especially not since I'm done with mine! MUAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHhahahhah*cough-cough* ... Seriously though, I'm probably not done. But you never know. *smiles suspiciously*

[del337er]

[Sir Tobbii]

I can't tell if you're trying to fool me... :P Oh well, I'm actually done. Might touch something up if I find some issues, still 5 days to go after all.

[del337er]

[Sir Tobbii]

I've never though so either, after all your FF collection is one of my fav. boxarts on this site. But hey, do you think our round will start as soon as we send both or boxes in or do we still have to wait till the 19th?

I'm not sure, i just sent mine, and i hope it will start soon. Also thanks for liking my box :) I think that one is my best

[Sir Tobbii]

'right. Just sent in mine as well. Best of luck then, wow, this is the first competition where I actually do get to compete. Last time my opponent dropped out and then the competition stopped.

[SGJin]

Man you guys work fast. D:
Mine should be done in 2 days.
I just have to finish my Xbox template first >_>.

[Sir Tobbii]

Heh, I started as soon as the theme was chosen, worked for about 4 hours or so. Then the day after I just questioned my choice of game and went around trying to figure out what the hell I should do. Then I was close to surrender, then I kept on working any way and then all of a sudden today around 2 PM (It's 5 PM here for those that wonder) I was done and it looked amazingly perfect. :D

Mine went much similarly, except i never questioned my game :p Are we making presentations as well? Or just plain boxes

[Sir Tobbii]

Well I gave mine my (new) standard Imandix predentation as seen on Holmes and Duke. Although with a little twist just for this competition!;)

Damn i need to get Imandix -.-

[Sir Tobbii]

Yes. You do. Or you can custom make it all in PS.

[del337er]

Would you mind if i added a simple 2-gradient presentation to mine, and a Game Disk? You could do the same :D

[Sir Tobbii]

Ugh, Game Discs means that I have to make my image wider or else it will cover up the box itself... But you do as you want of course.

Btw, have you checked your inbox?

[del337er]

Hmm alright, thank you

[Enchanter]
