    • Hey derr guys, I've made some custom covers for Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 because I wanted something a little nicer for these games. I haven't touched em in a while, and I'm kind of content with them as they are, but I'm looking for some general advice and critiques.
    They're super high-res, so here's a zip (21.6mb) containing them at their full resolution, but here they are at 50%:
    Prime, Echoes, Corruption

    (edit: also just notice that the titles on the spine don't seem to be aligned properly, and the title on the cover of Prime is a lot higher up than Echoes and Corruption, which are I think equal.)
    I'm not too pleased with the globs on 3; they don't look naturally radiating. I had a lot of trouble with making them look well dispersed and kind of gave up. The blurry goo on dark samus isn't blended well enough with the gobs radiating around it. I don't know though.

    I wanted to keep the console logo all along the same side of the spine, but didn't end up going that way in these drafts. I also thought of forgoing the all of the logos, but decided they deserved to be on the cover and spine.

    • The first is the best. Fold out style covers with simple shapes are the most effective.

    • They are all really nice. My favorite is the one for Echoes, but that is likely my love of purple hues.

    I can't see anything to change, really. So, I suppose I just replied to say they look fantastic.

    • Actually Holk I do agree.

    The only reason 1 is like that and 2 and 3 aren't is because I couldn't find good enough high-res pieces to work with. There's really no concept that I could find for each game that would be large enough to cover more than 75% of the entire cover. I couldn't even find a second piece nice enough for 1 to make it consistent with 2 and 3's design, and I'm not really talented enough to do any substantial high-res work myself. I actually never thought of repurposing the original covers. I'm going to mess around with that idea for a bit.

    That said, I kind of really like 1 the best, too, because it's just a clean, full picture of Samus.
