      @rookervik Hey there Rook! Love these splashscreens! May I make a request? Could you make a splash screen based off of the original NES Kid Icarus title screen?

        @hyruleslink Freaking heck yes! Doing this are my favorite thing to do. Haha. Just no one has requests. I'll get on this after I fix a pixel metadata error.

              @rookervik Woah, that was super fasticus! :D
              Thanks for making this splash screen. I will be installing this one when I get home from work later for sure.

                  This one may be a little more challenging than the others, but if you are up to it, I would like to request a splashscreen based off of the Breath of Fire II title screen.

                    Oh crap I forgot I had requests. Breath of Fire looks like an ass hole. Haha. Lemme see what I can do on these. Gun Nac looks like it will be easy... but lopsided.

                    Didn't see any screenshots good for DD3 so I'll have to launch it and screenshot it.

                    ** You guys enjoy the fast videos on how they were done? If you can take them or leave them I will skip em.

                        @rookervik How did you mask the gradient onto the text?

                          @lilbud You can invert your selections in Photoshop. So you'd select the text in the text layer, invert that selection, then switch to the gradient layer and press delete. Can also mask it, but I'm not an expert at masking.

                            @rookervik I find the process of drawing far more fascinating than the end result. Could watch you art all day.

                                Double Dragon 3 for NES. I'll edit the video later on and upload it. As usual, the Japanese reads: "レトロパイ" or "RE TO RO PA I" in romaji.

                                    Alright, took hours but I finished Breath of Fire II. This one was one of the hardest to complete.

                                            Hey @Rookervik great job! What about some Amiga inspired splash screens like Turrican II

                                            and somehow I couldn't shake the idea of a "RETRO - Emulation Unknown" screen :)
