      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"

            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

                      Then I painted this splashscreen from Earthworm Jim. Used Paint Tool Sai and a Wacom Bamboo.

                        Then one of my favorites... Super Castlevania 4 for SNES. I suck at the game, but the title screen is so amazing. I had so much fun making this widescreen and re-creating the C into an R.

                          Next up, the Gameboy Tetris. Spruced it up a little since the resolution of the GB is so low.

                              Then the arcade Out Run. This was one of the hardest splash screens to create. The font was hard to reproduce, and I had to create the widescreen area graphics. >_<

                                  Then I did Earthbound, not realizing lilbud had already done one. Sorry!

                                    Then I did Harvest Moon in Blender, just to be different.

                                      Then I did an HD Puzzle Bobble using Adobe Illustrator.
