Rook's Collection O' Splash Screens

[KneeTie]

@rookervik 2 requests, 1. Gun Nac & 2. Double Dragon 3 both nes games.

This one may be a little more challenging than the others, but if you are up to it, I would like to request a splashscreen based off of the Breath of Fire II title screen.

[Rookervik]

Oh crap I forgot I had requests. Breath of Fire looks like an ass hole. Haha. Lemme see what I can do on these. Gun Nac looks like it will be easy... but lopsided.

Didn't see any screenshots good for DD3 so I'll have to launch it and screenshot it.

** You guys enjoy the fast videos on how they were done? If you can take them or leave them I will skip em.

[Rookervik]

Ok, Gun Nac for NES

Speed Draw:

Don't ask what my template is for dates. I have NO idea. :P

[lilbud]

@rookervik How did you mask the gradient onto the text?

[Rookervik]

@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.

[KneeTie]

@rookervik Awesome job! Thanks for filling the request.

[Rookervik]

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.

[Rookervik]

Here's the video. Takes forever. LOL.

[Rookervik]

Alright, took hours but I finished Breath of Fire II. This one was one of the hardest to complete.

Speed-Draw Video:

Hey @Rookervik great job! What about some Amiga inspired splash screens like Turrican II

Lotus Esprit

Flashback

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

[Rookervik]

@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.

[Rookervik]

@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

@Rookervik

Not sure if this could be of any help, but... https://www.spriters-resource.com/amiga_amiga_cd32/turricaniithefinalfight/sheet/98356/

[Rookervik]

@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.

@andershp Turrican 2 made me cry.

XD Truly sorry mate!
The Lotus screen is really cool though!!
