Repro carts for charity auction - FINISHED - SEE PICTURES !!

[Ziggy]

For Repro's, I really prefer that they are bright, off colors rather than the official grey because of two reasons: I love bright colors, and I know that it is not official. IE, some NES Repro's I see come in the colored see-through type plastic. I think ya'll know what I mean.

Those are from Retro Zone. Ideally, I would like to be doing the same thing. Though getting those cart shells made up is a little tricky. I'm hoping that I might be able to in the future though.

I think it would be a good idea to try to if you can. Could you maybe use some plastic spray paint and make some bright blues and greens like the concept cart?Just an idea, I love the idea of repro's, and I love that you make them, and I don't want you or anyone else to get ripped off by someone selling them as real.

Back label (SNES cart) rough draft:




Super quick cut 'n paste:





I used the black checkered pattern from the site for the background. Also, I don't think you can tell in those pics, but the banner color is the blue checked pattern.

edit: Oh yeah, picture that on a blue cart with the black lines.

Does it mean I have to up my bid?

[Ziggy]

LOL, YES!



Some new ideas...







On the carts...










I think I made the checkered background too small though, the squares should be bigger.

Nice touches with the gold bits.

Who are you? OHHHHH, Hey Hobie! Now that you ditched it, I might sport Mr Yuck! LOL


Yeah, I like the gold. I think it gives it that "special edition" feeling.


There a few things I wanna touch up. I'll make the checker pattern bigger, and touch up a few minor things. I wanna add a glow or lens flare or something behind the "Racket Boy Charity Auction" text. Maybe I'll see how the text looks on a ribbon of some sort.

Played with it a little more, still not sure if the checkers are big enough yet.

Not bad Zig, id look at the ribbon though. Not digging the it spilling onto the artwork. Also, drop the bevel and emboss effect on the logos. Always looks a bit cheap.
