Super Mario Galaxy 2 WiP

[The90sKid]

Spent the whole day working on this.
Inspired by YoshiStar's stunning SMG2 box.
The Mario/Yoshi render is custom made (pasted different heads).
The rating will be changed of course.
As always, please leave critique.

You should try making the transition from grass to galaxy less abrupt.

Can anyone tell me how you make custom renders? Never really understood just combining parts from different renders since there all so different.

The way I did it is I found a render here and changed parts of it to suit.
It's actually my first successful attempt.

That's the hard part
It takes a lot of hard work

I think it's pretty good, Mario looks a little weird to me, but make sure to change the T logo to E @_@

Okay, here's an update, pretty much done with the front now:

[stevencho]

Yeah add some people on his right side. This looks nice.

[The90sKid]

Oh yeah, forgot I was gonna add more renders.
Here's an update:

Edit Rosalina a bit more to make her look like the Cosmic spirit. My suggestion would be darkening her into a dark blusih color, taking out her pupils, and overlaying or color/linear burning a star field over her.
Also, thei nner glow on Luigi is a bit overwhelming. Other than that, I love where this is going.

The empty space next to peach needs to be filled to balance Blubba.
Also, Luigi's L is backwards.
Also, I still don't like how the ground changes to sky. Maybe you could flip the top and the bottom so that it looks like one big image?

[Sentroavium]

Now that I look at it again, the cut off to the top really kills the front, I'm very sorry, however he top of the front looks very good. The bottom and top just don't flow, the technique is better used when the conditions are right.

[The90sKid]

OK, the good news is that I finally got Rosalina to look like Cosmic Spirit:



The bad news is that it looks like I'm gonna have to flip it.

[RAiDeN-209]

Looks great, but Rosalina looks too black, maybe you should make her just blue...

[Mariolee]

I feel like you're taking too many cues from Yoshistar's boxart. What with the custom renders, the color scheme, and the swirl around the logo. But it's fine that way. Just a little note.

That's exactly what I was afraid of.

Update:


Eh, don't think I'll continue with this.

[YoshiStar]

Looks good! I don't like the inner glows or outerglows you have going on though .. It doesn't make them look Galaxy-ish like you wanted them to. It just makes them look like they're renders completely separated from their environment. They look like they don't belong. I suggest removing all the glows you have on the characters.

[stevencho]

I liked your first versions with the characters above the logo.
