The Last Galerians: Ash x Rion - PS2/DVD [WIP]

[D_Nikolaos]

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I was on here, and as I stated in my FMA: Brotherhood PSP WIP, my computer died recently and I've been having difficulty getting everything back up and running. As of now I'm running my computer on an old 8Gb IDE HDD, I was able to salvage what I could from my old HDD but for now I'm running at low specs till I can rebuild.

Alright, so I got this Idea because I'm getting a physical copy of Galerians: Rion soon, and I found that there was once a bundle of these two in Japan at one time.

I found the box online and decided to make my own version of it, it took me a while to find my bearings on this piece, because I wanted to go all over the place, but I soon found my groove and kept on it.

I initially wanted to make the entire thing from scratch but I found a stock image of the "Last Galerians" Version or the Cover and decided to work from there. I rendered the image of Rion on the back, made the PS2 header, and all of the dev logos on this box. With the exception of the general PS2 information on the rear of the box, that was copied from qwerty334's PS2 Template.

Btw just to clarify, I'm going to fill in the rest of the strip of film along the side with screenshots from the game, I know that I still need to put the title on the spine, and it's not meant to be a "player's Choice" Version it's just based on the "Last Galerians" Version I saw. http://image.com.com/gamespot/images...8656_front.jpg

If anyone has any thoughts on how to make this box better or if I should just stay the course, then please feel free to say so, this is a WIP and as such any and all input is always welcome and appreciated.

Wow! you have improved a lot from your last box , As of right now I would recommend re-sizing the bottom logo on the front and for the back of the second version I would recommend decreasing the amount of text and adding some renders. The main problem I have is that even though the front and back are great, they are drastically different from one another.

[D_Nikolaos]

Alright I'll look into getting some renders, but for this specific series there seems to be a lack of it out there on the net at least from where I'm searching.
-As for the logo you are talking about the "Ash x Rion" part right?
-On the text though I feel like I should keep them, since it took me so long to rewrite the originals to fit this box, although I could resize the font so that they take up less space.
-And on the matter of the front and back clashing, I do agree, but like I said I'm basing this off of the original collections cardboard box. (Which I placed links too.)
-Although I could try to do something about them clashing, do you have any suggestions?

This time I took Deathmaina's advice, and hopefully I didn't disappoint.
-I made the Cover match the backs color scheme, and I also drew in the last bit of the "Cross" along the bottom of the front.
-I reduced the size of the font on the back and moved them accordingly.
-I decided to make my own version of the "Galerians Skull", I used the original Galerians (PSX) artwork version as the base.
-I still need to include the Galerians: Ash Screenshots along the film strip, and add the title to the spine.

As always if anyone has any thoughts on how to make this box better or if I should just stay the course, then please feel free to say so, this is a WIP and as such any and all input is always welcome and appreciated.

Looking Great I would say the front is complete but as for the back, I would recommend making the character and the screenshots above the legal information. That way the back would be less plain and legal information wont overlap it. After that I think it would be ready to post.

[D_Nikolaos]

I was actually thinking about moving the film strips up some so that you can actually view them, and as for the character I can totally move him up some, since there's still plenty of the render left unseen.

Thanks for your help and advice on this Deathmania.

I've been working on this sparingly since other things came up, but I've gotten around to doing some more. I've included screen shots from Galerians: ASH on the back and moved around the text and the Rion render, so as to not interfere with the screens, and I also decided to change the tagline font.

I still need to add the title to the spine, and I'm going to redo the Galerians: ASH screens on the back, they seemed to have gotten blocky and are uneven when I placed them before.

As always if anyone has any thoughts on how to make this box better, then please feel free to say so.

Glad to see some progress. I would recommend making the boxes of text closer to the tagline and instead of the text overlapping the character, it would look much better if the character overlapped the text. Also it will be awesome if you can get the back to fade black at the bottom so the legal text is easier to read.

Alright! That's a simple task will have an update in a minute.

(btw yes I know it says 6, there is a 5th version with edited Screenshots and title on spine, but these suggestions came up before I posted it here.)

Looks cool, really liked the bloody design

Thanks, I originally wanted to try and recreate the custom border that the JP collection had, but in the end I went for my own flavor! XD
