amazing. stupendous. flawless. remarkable, unforgetta--uh, sorry i was looking up synonyms for Ladykiller in the dictionary. ladykiller, i salute you, all of your boxes, which are hall of fame i may add, and one of them with a record breaking 70 favs. if this truly is your final box, may you always be a rep of vgba and a good friend. *tear*
Really nice job. I would have liked to have seen both Tifa and Yuffies bodies extend below the screen shots as i don't like how their bodies just "end", but that's just a personal preference.
The color scheme is great and i like the simplicity of the design. Again, nice job.
#25, Indeed, I tried that approach on the design and it looked quite odd to me. Throughout my experience, I've learned not to compromise the design anymore :)
And thanks for the generous words Gunslinger, it's an honor to finally hear from you ;)
No thanks needed my friend. I'm shocked that i've never commented on your work before and i apologize for that. It's hands-down some of the best artworks on the site. ^^d
Holy crap! This is unbelievably good. Ladykiller, you skills rock. Good luck on your future projects man. This is purely wonderful. Superb job mate. 5/5
"Ladykiller, you can leave if you want. It's your decision. Guys, he probably has other things going on in his life. Give him a break, The Forsaken. Let's tie you down on your computer. Let's see how you like it. Wouldn't you have other things to do than being on a computer? Commen sense."
This is the best box ive ever seen and im not kissing ass or anything..
btw havent been on this site for a long time but wow this box is so beautifull catched by breath in an instant
Great box Great game And Great artist :( too bad that this is your final box but its a great end box
#60, YEa guys I am so jealous. Oh my god somebody help me for just telling him the truth ohhhh. I dont get how you think im jealous? Is it because I didnt fav? Or is it because I told hime that Zack wasnt in the game?
Zack Fair WAS in the game, you see him several times. In fact, he's a major character in the game along with Cloud, Sephiroth, and Aeris.
Just, because he was dead doesn't mean he can't influence the game's story. As a matter of fact, he did so greatly. When Aeris died, did she loss her importance in the story? On the contrary, it only elevated her status in gaming. Please, look at your sources before you claim it as the "truth" Thanks.
You are retiring too? I think at this rate we need to set-up an old age home for ex-vgboxartists. ;)
Ladykiller you've grown immensely over the period I left - the fact that everyone considers you the best artist on the site should be proof of that. You are some of the rare few artists here who's profile page I check from time to time to see their latest masterpiece. And like the rest of those artists, you never fail to amaze me.
Brilliant, just freaking brilliant. I'd send it to Square Enix and ask for a job! Seriously, it's that damn good. I also like what you put as the header text on the back, works on a few levels ;).
Better than sex...well, almost.
PS. Sorry to hear your leaving, but hey, what a way to go out on! This would have to be a record for favs am i right?
I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan, so I guess that just makes this so much more awesome! Everything flows so smoothly. You are an artistic genius and this is a masterpiece! Awesome, +fav.
omg I thought this said 2009 so I clicked on it and saw it said you were leaving and I was like nooooooooooooo..... then I saw 2008 and I seriously broke down! Incredible box though, it just shows that you need to make a new one because this is one of the best on the site. I hadn't seen enough of you before but I'm now author faving you because you seriously are one of the best on the site so.....
new box please ;)
Brilliant box the best Final Fantasy on the site +fav!
Can you tell me where you got your cloud render because somepeople complained about my ff 7 box having future cloud, and could you give me adise on my own box.
Thanks
#98 This month huh? I am removing my fav from this box not because I don't like it -because I do- but because I have spotted several flaws which you may want to work on:
The colour scheme is the same on both sides.
There are no screenshot borders and the cutoff to the legal text looks awkward.
The tagline is cliched and seems abit small.
But I do really like this box remember, so don't think I don't, those are just some things you could work on. :)
#99, it's a pretty old box to be honest. I've been wanting to update it, but it will probably won't be anything major.
But to answer your crits:
Color scheme being the same on both sides is a good thing.
Screenborders are NOT necessary for any box
The tagline is neither cliched nor is it "small"
I'm gonna make the mob angry now, but why is this box so loved? It's bland with just characters looking incredibly stereotypic in an incredibly stereotypic manner.
FF boxarts are supposed to be clean and part of an epic saga, and not "The newest FF, buy it now!"
I'll say what one of my friends said the other day: "Stuff like these is good to do if you want to learn how to accomplish certain types of pictures, but in the end you also need to learn how to make something look great on more levels than just attracting the 8 year-old kid in the store trying to find a cool new game".
Fantastic! A little overdone maybe but it looks very very pro and official at least. The layout is just a bit too FFIX for my tastes. FFVII and X had the two best FF covers in my opinion so something along those layouts is the way to go I think.
I just have ONE small nitpick...this game would be presented in Dolby Digital AND/or DTS would it not? ;) Just a suggestion.
+Fav is this your final box? If so, what a finish.

Think you'd be willing to take a job designing boxes for my company when we start up?
