        @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

                            alt text

                            Lotus Esprit

                            alt text

                            Flashback

                            alt text

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

                              @andershp Amiga needs some splash screen love. I tried to do some Savage splash but there isn't really a title screen for Savage. Haha. I'll try out Turrican and see if I can handle the fire.

                                @andershp Turrican 2 made me cry. I might try it later again. For now, the easy one.

                                Bottom text looks a little wonky. CHALLENGE takes way more space than PIE lol. Could have cleaned the "O" up, some, but hey... this took me like 15 minutes :D

                                    @lilbud Eh, not really. The font is the hard part. I'll have to design it from scratch. The explosions in the back aren't too hard to fix up.

                                            @rookervik Oh my gosh, I LOVE the SNES link to the past intro video! It's the only one I use, I love it so much! Any hope you still make these though? Any hope for an animated Illusion of Gaia? (Heck I'd like an image one too) My favorite game ever.
