im gonna vote for kirbylore here. bretts is very original but that text on the back doesnt really give me the contra feel. the one thing i dont like on kirbys is the screen borders, but all in all, my vote goes to....

kirbylore

[E-FlowGFX]

my vote is for kirbylore, his box has more of a theme to it, brettska's box seems more like a wallpaper but the back is awesome, but on the other hand, kirbylore's box is somthing that i would most probably see on the shelves so my vote goes to




KIRBYLORE (BTW how do u guys do that color stuff to the text?)

KIRBYLORE (BTW how do u guys do that color stuff to the text?)

well, I picked a color for the text, picked the magic wand tool, selected something other than the title, clicked select > inverse, then got a sloppy brush (like.. charcoal or something) and got another color and splashed my new color onto there. that's how I got the title anyway.

My vote goes to Brett.

I fell that Kirby's is too blood heavy and that doesn't go well with me.
I also feel Brett's is more original.

lol not that, im sayin to the text here on the forums like when mm111 typed kirbylore, he typed it in orange, i wanna know how to do that

[TrevOwnz]

Why on Brettskas does it looks like the bottom image on the back was throw on there? Why didn't you fade it into the picture?

[Ladykiller]

both great boxes guys, nice job. I wish I could've joined, unfortunately, I'm putting my all on my last box :)

I'm going with Kirbylore on this one though, though I think the blood is quite overdone, the concept is still very unique and had more "WOW" for me :D

[Kirbylore]

oh, you click the capital A with the thick black line under it, pick a color, and type it in the space. :P

[Brettska99]

man i suck at boxes lately but i only had 1 hour to make it but congrats kirby theres way i can win you have like 5 votes and i have 1

[Ervo]

I like Brett's box more. It captrues the right feeling and has nice art :)

[Vengeance]

man i suck at boxes lately but i only had 1 hour to make it but congrats kirby theres way i can win you have like 5 votes and i have 1

just because you only have an hour a day, doesn't mean that's all the time you can spend. why not work on it one day, work on it more the next day and finish it the next day after that? that's what i'd do.

btw i vote for kirbylore because his is betterly (is that a word? o.O) organised and looks more attractive (kinda ironic for a horror game to look pretty, but w/e)

[frenchboy1]

Brett's : Really nice one ! The back is professional looking but I'd say it still a bit lacking. The front needs more action.

Kirby's : I faved it too. The overal is really nice and pretty creepy. The back organisation could b better though.


Really hard choice, but I go to vote for................................Brettska99

[E-FlowGFX]

oh, you click the capital A with the thick black line under it, pick a color, and type it in the space. :P

oh ok lol

i think i got it:D

[kirby22]

hard choice. i think Brett's is more original and Kirbylore's is a little busy, so i have to go with Brettska

[Kirbylore]

ooOOooh! tied at 4! who's gunna win???

[thecodemaster]

If this is the deciding vote, I'm really sorry!

I'm voting for Kirbylore. I feel that his box suits the horror genre very well, shows good organisation, and the colours are very well chosen. Well done.

That is not to say, Brettska99, that you box isn't good, because it is. It just didn't lure me as much as Kirbylore's managed too.

no no no, i only had 1 hr. and thats all i have for a week

[Kirbylore]

Ok, I'm gunna go ahead and wrap this duel up, it's officially 12:00 on the east coast, and I think you did a very excelent box brett, We both did really well. It was just a one vote win! that's pretty cool that I found someone with about the same level boxarting as me :D your a little better, and your #1 on the most popular list and I'm not even on the top 50 :D but anyway, great box, but i'm going to just close this duel up for the night. If anyone comes here and wants to vote in the next two hours and fifty minutes my time (It's 9:45 here), please feel more than welcome to vote. But yeah, congrats brett for having such a cool box, It was a pleasure dueling against you. goodnight everyone!
