It's been a while. I'm tired and keep suffering artist's block. Hopefully this turned out alright. I'm not entirely pleased with it, but it could have been worse. Thanks for the suggestions in my WIP thread. Also thank you LastLight for the preview box template.
But um, this is completely different in terms of my usual work. It feels incomplete, though I've invested so much time into this to get this look. Hopefully it's successful. Comments are appreciated and criticism is even more appreciated. Thanks!
Demon's Souls Box Cover Comments
Comment on lucidhalos's Demon's Souls Box Art / Cover.
The back does look a bit incomplete, maybe a tagline or something could make it seem less empty. But this is still great, especially the colors. It's very nice to look at.
Best of luck finding the inspiration you need to get past your artist's block. I know the feeling, and it's definitely not fun.

I thought some kind of tagline would take away, since it's a steelbook and those generally tend to be image focused. I get what you mean though. It was one of my issues too. It was a little more empty until I altered it a bit, so a little more color was added to the back for contrast.
And thanks. I'm just tired of leaving things half-completed because I get stuck.

This is really great in spite of the back seeming a little empty, awesome stuff I really like it

Personally, I'd prefer the logo eroded like the cover. It's fine the way it is, though.

The logo was a nightmare to deal with, haha. You mean like have the textures applied on it? I can see how that looks just by moving the layer.

Ok how u did all this in Photoshop?
[ Reply ]
A lot of layers, masks, textures, adjustment layers, and time. As you can see by the amount of layers I have: link

Awesome stuff - although I agree with everyone else. Back needs something extra. Nothing distracting, just *something*.
[ Reply ]
Yeah, I've realize the back needs something. Been playing around with it and may update it was the new version if I manage to find something that seems to work with the overall box. Last thing I need to do is make it look disconnected.

Hello, I would like to customize a blank steelbook for Demon's Souls with your art. I have Dark Souls, Dark Souls II and Bloodborne steelbook and this would make the collection complete. Could I purchase the .png from you?
[ Reply ]
You don't need to pay me for it, considering the original work is not my own. As long as you're planning on using it for personal use and not a profit, I have no problem giving you the file.
[ Reply ]
@lucidhalos Yeah, I would be using it only to have souls/blood collection complete in steelcases. Thanks!

@lucidhalos I sent you an inbox. Thank you!

@Zorax I saw. I haven't had the time to look for what flashdrive I have it on, because I have my hands tied with finals at the moment. I'll give you the printable as soon as my finals are over with in the next week or two at max.

@Zorax I added the printable, so you can just click download printable under the picture to download it. Sorry it took me a bit.

Hello, Lucidhalos !
Let me ask you a question, Would you do a cover custom for PS1 iDVD style for me if I asked you?
No need to have written not only a beautiful image in front and back, with the logo of Plastation 1 and of course, the hand writing the name of the game .. something more simple and cool, will it be possible? @__@
[ Reply ]
Uh, I'm not quite following this request. If you explain it once more with what exactly you're looking for, I may or may not be able to do it. It would also have to wait a bit, because school is still in session and it is hard for me to find time to do anything.
[ Reply ]
@lucidhalos Alright, I'm not in need for today then no problem, no need to run! First is the school, of course +_+
I to passing my PS1 games to DVD covers and I have many games, about 90-something and has some covers DVD style that does not exist on the internet, games missing me have covers are these, sees the it would be nicer for you to do and to not give you a lot of work, do not need to write anything back cover, do the same this cover here the DEMON'S SOULS without escription of the game, just a beautiful image of the game in front and behind and ready, Alakazan!
GAMES : Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge
Star Wars Episode I Jedi Power Battles
Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (ps2)
These are the games I need to covers, if you could make one of them, which in your opinion will be best done by you, now would help me TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @_@

@Henry.666 I don't know if I'll be able to. A lot of those games do not really have high enough resolution images to work with, and I tend to work in at 300DPI.

@lucidhalos Hiiiii 'So to not give you a lot of work, focus on just one .. You already started to do some? so you do not have a lot of work to do just one that I quoted, others I can here someone somewhere on the internet, is that I loved his art and I would love to have at least one cover made by you why their covers are simply beautiful .. the SCOOBY a friend of mine did, I got it now .. Make the STAR WARS, will you? STAR WARS is famous as it should have many high resolution images for you, it's all right ? :)
There's another thing I wanted to also, if you do one, you choose the best option for you .. I found a cover other day that is best for CRASH game, I would ask her but the guy He did not come over on the site, so I would like to ask if you can play you her, only in this case, change the PS1 the PS2 already it is a CRASH collection for ps1 and his collection for ps1 I already have, BUT I have no PS2 .. Any of the options that you say I would love, you choose, what do you think?
LOOK: link
if you put the games: Crash bandicoot twinsanity, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Crash of the Titans.
