Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens

[Rookervik]

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

[Rookervik]

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.

[Rookervik]

Shortly following Punch-Out! I did Super Punch Out. Adding the side art to make it widescreen was very fun.

[Rookervik]

Next up I tried a HD Chrono Trigger splashscreen. Converting the "C" clock to an "R" took hours of sketch attempts.

[Rookervik]

After much nagging, I made a Super Mario RPG splashscreen for a certain someone.

[Rookervik]

Next up: Phantasy Star for Sega Genesis. I had to paint additional nebula and the rest of the planet. It wasn't too hard.

[Rookervik]

Then I started learning how to use Blender, and made the Nintendo logo into RetroPie.

[Rookervik]

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"

[Rookervik]

Next in line is a splash that almost no one saw. I took the Mushberry and created it in Blender and rendered this.

[Rookervik]

Next was a request from a user on Youtube for a custom Pokemon Yellow splashscreen with Pixel background.

[Rookervik]

Then I finally did a widescreen Super Mario World.

[Rookervik]

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

Back to Genesis for Revenge of Shinobi.
