Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens
-
Looks like since the site moved, no one can find my old splash screens. So I will just make a thread here and post what I have so you guys can find it. Let me know if you have requests.
So far starters, I joined this community with this splash screen. Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past.
Along with the splash screen, I created a video splash to go with it:

I was surprised how many people enjoyed the splashscreen, so I worked on some more. Next up was Super Metroid. I really enjoyed adding art to the sides to make these splashscreens 16:9 out of a 4:3 picture.
-
Next up was Super Street Fighter II. This one was quite tough with the paint-like text and changing the text at the bottom to "Emulation Station." It came out really well.
-
After SSFII, I did Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis. There was a lot of tile re-creation for the widescreen aspect. Came out well, though.
-
Next was Streets of Rage for Sega Genesis. It seems very simplistic, but the font gave me troubles. In the end, it looks a little plain. However, that's how the title screen looks. LOL.
-
Next up was Altered Beast for Sega Genesis. I really really love this one. The text at the top reads: レ ト ロ パ イ Which translates to: "Re To Ro Pa I" , or RetroPie in Japanese. :D
-
Continuing my love for Sega Genesis, I did Shining Force. The font was... really annoying.
-
Next up was an arcade classic, Defender. Created this splash completely in Adobe Illstrator.
-
Next up was a request for Punch-Out! for NES.
-
Shortly following Punch-Out! I did Super Punch Out. Adding the side art to make it widescreen was very fun.
-
Next up I tried a HD Chrono Trigger splashscreen. Converting the "C" clock to an "R" took hours of sketch attempts.
-
After much nagging, I made a Super Mario RPG splashscreen for a certain someone.
-
Next up: Phantasy Star for Sega Genesis. I had to paint additional nebula and the rest of the planet. It wasn't too hard.
-
Then I started learning how to use Blender, and made the Nintendo logo into RetroPie.
-
I had been wanting to make a Video Splash of MegaMan X for SNES, but I kept having trouble with the fonts. So I ended up taking a mixture between the Japanese, Rockman, and the US Megaman. The music is by 'Metal Man' from the 'Mega Man X: Maverick Rising' album over on Overclocked Remix. http://ocremix.org/album/37/mega-man-x-maverick-rising
The katakana at the top reads "レ ト ロ パ イ エ ク ス " and translates to "Re To Ro Pa I E Ku Su" or "RetroPie X"

And next was NES "The Legend of Zelda"
-
Next in line is a splash that almost no one saw. I took the Mushberry and created it in Blender and rendered this.
-
Next was a request from a user on Youtube for a custom Pokemon Yellow splashscreen with Pixel background.
-
Then I finally did a widescreen Super Mario World.
-
After SMW, I did the Arcade version of Ghouls and Goblins. This one came out great. I had to re-draw all of the areas that the original text hid. :D
