Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens

Rookervik

They ran some video filters on this to make it look pixelated. I think it looks very dirty. And if I were going to do the gamecube bios splash, I'd want to change the G logo into an R logo. I wouldn't want to rip Nintendo off directly.

@Rookervik your right, maybe make a 2D panel that flips out into a R to the GameCube theme? I would just love to see a GameCube related splash screen.

@Rookervik i love your seaquest splashscreen. I am a huge fan of the 2600 games box and label art. Yes us old nerds love this stuff. Yars revenge would be cool. It is my favorite old school back in the day atari game. Warlords being my second (Lots of cool homebrews. Halo 2600 and medieval mayhem are my favorite)

Rookervik

@edmaul69 Yars' Revenge has an incredibly detailed cover art. I'm not sure I could reproduce this in any decent amount of time. Yars' would be more of a commission style art. Unless I steal this other guys' Yars vector and just slap it on a background. LOL.

@Rookervik i wasnt expecting you to make it. I understand it is way too detailed.

@Rookervik Hi, can you check? It says that the file is corrupted?

Oops apparantly the reply was not added to the video. The N64 intro video is apparantly corrupted when trying to open/download it

@kverreth What the heck are you talking about? LOL

@kverreth

Should be nothing wrong with the link. Dropbox is working on making the 'Public' folder no longer public anymore. So it's possible a lot of my links will stop working. I updated the link with a re-copy of the address. Can't tell if it's the same exact link. Anyway... try right-clicking and download to see if that helps.

Here's a boot splash screen of Gradius III for Super Nintendo. Also included a video of the process for those interested.

These are amazing! I love the Defender one you did, you said you did it in Adobe Illustrator? Do you still have the .ai file? If so, could I please get it from you? I would love to have this on as my marquee sign for the bartop arcade I just built.

Rookervik

@GameOfSoup Looks like I only used Illustrator for the RetroPie outline. The rest was done in Photoshop. I remember creating a brush to do the stars. So, sadly, I do not have the original vector, it was just a quick method to get the shape to send to Photoshop.

WOW! Awesome set!
I am so using the "Winners Don't Do Drugs" one!

@Rookervik Thanks for the quick reply, and no problem. I totally understand. Ill take what you have uploaded and see if I can make it work. Thanks again!

Rookervik

@GameOfSoup If you're wanting to print it out large, I can remake it. I really should start saving all my art. But I have trouble finding things so I often just don't bother saving. Haha.
