Game Cover Requests

I have noticed that there is a weekly code giveaway thread and I think that a weekly thread where members can vote on what cover art they want could be a good idea also. It could give a few days to a week to allow voting, and then another week for cover art to be made.

I feel bad filling up the main page with art and I am personally interested in taking requests as long as it's in an organized manner. This could also be fun because once a new cover is voted on, multiple people would have the opportunity to work on it, giving plenty of options.

The hard part would be setting up polls, which I'm unsure is even possible on Reddit, and also deciding which games make it into those polls. Also, I know we were thinking of getting a megathread going, so it might just fit in there anyways.

If anyone has thoughts on this, please let me know.

Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen Physical Game Case

Hate to put this out now, as we have a lot of cases floating around at the moment, but I need to let it loose. I think that megathread would be a good idea after all.

I added small 'serifs' to the line border beneath the GOG banner at the top of the front cover, but I'm not sure if they make it look better or worse. I also went for a lot of in-game graphics on the spine. There were a lot of iconic images to pick from.

At this point I'm trying to find what the template is still missing. There is a lot of info you can add to games like this, like original release year or console, but I want to strike a balance between information and style.

I hope you guys enjoy this one!

Final Fantasy 9 Physical Game Case (Normal and Alternate)

Hello. After making my last case I decided I wanted to try a game with a mostly white cover to switch up the banner and the Final Fantasies were an obvious choice. In addition to the normal game cover I made a variant that I call the Amano cover, featuring concept art from the legendary Yoshitaka Amano.
Just a disclaimer that the logo on the Amano variant is lower resolution than most of the other art and might not print as cleanly. It is the only instance of his logo for the game I could find though, and I will try to touch it up later on.
Also another disclaimer that I don't own the rights to any of this art or these fonts and unless specified otherwise, all of my covers are posted as-is and just for personal use. You may not use, remix or reproduce any of it for commercial gain or profit, though you may do so to your heart's content for your personal use.
Sorry for the long rant. I hope you like these!

Doom 1 + 2 Physical Case Reupload

Hello, I'm very sorry to upload the same game twice but I was unhappy with the original and changed this case around a lot.

Along with a new back that better matches the theme of the front cover, I'm experimenting with a banner that I think is cleaner and I enjoy more than the others. I've also fixed up multiple icons and come up with a system requirements layout that I think will work for most games moving forward.

All-in-all I like this one much more than the first Doom case. Again, I'm sorry if posting the same game twice isn't allowed.

Doom 1 & 2 Physical Game Case

Decided to give the Doom remasters a try. I changed the top gog banner to be a little darker.

Diablo + Hellfire Physical Game Case

I decided to try my hand at making a physical case for a GOG game. Dimension-wise it is the same as a PS5 game, or at least, that was the template I started with. I went with GOG's Galaxy theme to help the case stand out and I chose to make Diablo because it is recognizable and part of the preservation program, which I wanted to include on the case. I have not printed it out, because I don't know how yet.
