Jay Mysterio's Custom Album Art Thread

**Jay Mysterio** · 06-12-2012, 05:19 PM

Welcome to my Custom Album Art thread!

I make album art for the gamerips I download and have started posting it here for everyone to use

If anyone has any requests I'd really like to try making some new ones for rips I don't have/wouldn't normally download (my stuff is very Nintendo focussed right now...). Post any requests you have in the thread or message me and I'll see what I can do. The newer the game, the easier it is to get good, clean, hi-res assets but I've still had some success with older titles.

All images are 640x640 jpegs and some games have a few variations. Please click on the images for the full size versions.

cool stuff

**Jay Mysterio** · 06-14-2012, 03:58 PM

Thanks

I've updated the thread with more art and changed the layout so it's easier to see.

Update 30/06
Added: Hotel Dusk; Last Window

Just a couple of simple ones today, I'm working on a Kirby 20th Anniversary set which should be up soon

**TheGazelMinistry** · 06-30-2012, 06:44 AM

Great idea, and very good job with the ones you've made so far.

I have quite a few rips for which I'd love to have album art. (I hate using box art for them.) So since you're open to requests, I'd like to ask for: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Duck Tales (NES), G.I. Joe/G.I. Joe: Atlantis Factor (NES), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (SNES).

**Mach Five** · 06-30-2012, 07:41 AM

This Thread is Bookmarked!

Excellent work, mate; I've grabbed a few!

I'd make a simple request, but the guy above me has already made quite a few.

I'll wait until you're ready to take more requests!

**Trunks Briefs** · 06-30-2012, 08:27 AM

Thank you dude you're collection is sweet

Also would like to do a request please

Mario Party Advance
Pokemon Battle Revolution
Sonic Advance
Final Fantasy XIII (yeah their is a gamerip too but it would look nice with an album art too)

**Jay Mysterio** · 07-05-2012, 04:37 PM

Thankls for the kind words guys! And the requests of course, I've been working on them and have finished a couple of them. Any feedback is always welcome

Turtles: NES

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

The older the game, the harder it is to find decent hi-res assets for it. The artwork on the turtles box is pretty cool but the box itself has loads of text and crap over it and it's cropped diagonally and would be a nightmare to try and turn into usable album art. Luckily though some guy posted a hi res pic of the art in question which was from one of the Turtles comics and I was able to make something good

Hopefully I can get lucky with some of the other older games requested...

Sonic Advance 1, 2 & 3

[Hidden link. Register to see links.][Hidden link. Register to see links.][Hidden link. Register to see links.]

I used some of the official Japanese wallpaper background and borders to make this trilogy of art. SA2 and 3 weren't asked for but I thought it was worth doing them all at the same time and in the same style since none of them got an official release to my knowledge.

Pokémon Battle Revolution

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

The box art for P:BR is boooooooooring. Luckily there were some nice hi-res assets floating about for some of the locations and this night-time view of Pokétopia seemed like the perfect one to choose.

More to come soon, thanks again guys!

**JSN111** · 07-05-2012, 05:28 PM

Thank you SO muchfor this! Finally quality artwork!

**TheGazelMinistry** · 07-05-2012, 06:56 PM

Great job on the TMNT cover. It looks great. (And good job on the others as well.)

**Trunks Briefs** · 07-06-2012, 03:17 AM

these are very good thank you.

**knighTeen87** · 07-06-2012, 05:30 AM

these covers are great man! keep up the good work!

**TravelingFishSalesman** · 07-06-2012, 05:57 PM

Oh, wow! These are fantastic! Saving these right now.
If you have the time, I'd like to request album art for Space Station: Silicon Valley.

**Wrenskini** · 07-06-2012, 06:23 PM

Wow these are really really nice. You've got an eye for it.

No out there requests, just that it'd be awesome if you could do Metroid Prime 1 and the rest of the major zeldas (LttP, Ocarina, Majora, and Wind Waker), cause I'm totally OCD and having everything in a series match up is great.

**The Ultimate Koopa** · 07-10-2012, 08:04 PM

These are awesome. How did you get the Smash Bros font for the Brawl album art?

Also, I do have a request... Super Mario Sunshine :P ... I was thinking that particular artwork with Mario and Peach relaxing on the beach, with Mario wearing headphones.

Also, if you can, any of the Mario Kart games (not Arcade) that haven't got an official soundtrack, namely Super Circuit, Double Dash!! and DS? Also Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, definitely.

**knighTeen87** · 07-11-2012, 03:22 PM

dude, can you make album arts for Neo Turf Masters Arranged Tracks and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum Arranged Tracks? Cuz there were no album releases for them

**JSN111** · 07-12-2012, 09:18 AM

Hey, do you think that you could try making album artwork for the 3 Mother/Earthbound games? If you do, thanks!

**Jay Mysterio** · 07-22-2012, 06:21 AM

Update 22/07

I've done some more requests though admittedly they're in no particular order. Sometimes I can't find decent resolution stuff or my mind just goes blank so I jump onto another project for a fresh start. I'll try and tackle all the requests given but as I've said before, the older the game the harder it is to get decent images to make a cover out of

For that reason, when the going gets tough I might jump on to a newer and thus easier game to make a cover for but I'll always try and go back

Here's what I've got so far though:

GI Joe Series (NES):

GI Joe and GI Joe: The Atlantis Factor

[Hidden link. Register to see links.][Hidden link. Register to see links.]

These are basically cleaned up boxart rips...

Mario Kart Series

Super Circuit; Double Dash!!; DS

[Hidden link. Register to see links.][Hidden link. Register to see links.][Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Super Circuit was a frankenstien job using bits of various wallpapers so isn;t the most amazing but DD!!/DS had decent assets available and it was easy enough to find matching fonts.

Mario Party Advance

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Another wallpaper hack, I rotated an existing wallpaper and rearranged the hexagonal panels to better suit the square format, turned pretty well if I do say so myself

Mother 3

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

I'm going to have a look at making a couple more Mother 3 ones but for now this one should hopefully suffice.

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

SSFIVAE is an odd one, for a game so new with such incredible artwork it was really hard to find some nice, clean (logo etc. free) artwork that wasn't just a single character. Luckily I found this awesome Japanese poster art which I think works really well. I made the logo really small so as not to cover up any of the characters faces etc.

**JSN111** · 07-22-2012, 09:56 AM

I am so glad that you made a Mother 3 album art! Also Mario Kart is kickass, good job!

**TravelingFishSalesman** · 07-22-2012, 10:58 AM

Oh man, that Mother 3 album art is absolutely gorgeous. Really wonderful job.

**Executable** · 07-22-2012, 11:47 AM

Really some sweet work.
Keep it up !

**Patrick1287** · 07-22-2012, 01:02 PM
