Made this quite recently. Wanted it to look as realistic as possible. Well, except for the character roster which is just my personal preference. No one will really agree with me on the characters lol. Keep in mind, this was made before the news that Nintendo was going to be collaborating with Namco Bandai. This was before the Wii U Pro controller was revealed as well. I had to use my imagination for a lot of this :P

I wasn't very fond of the real Donkey Kong Country Returns box art, so I made this. I think it really gives you the warm jungle feel and makes you want to play the game. I decided to make the Wii plastic have a wooden type print on it, similar to how New Super Mario Bros. has red. It isn't a solid color, but I'm quite sure it's possible.

This was made a loong time ago, so I don't really like this one as much as some of the others I've made. A lot of other people did like it quite a bit, though :P I don't like the name "Tussle" either, but hey ... I didn't think about it that much back then. I thought a 2D style would work well for the Nintendo DS. Keep in mind that this was made way before the 3DS was even announced.

This was my attempt at a minimalistic Other M cover. I wanted it to be simple but beautiful, and I hope I succeeded. These aren't supposed to look very official or anything. More like some kind of Special Edition cover.

I made this a loong time ago as well, so the art isn't very great. I always hated how the Mother series had boxarts that were just pure red with a logo slapped on top. I envisioned a Mother 3 box art that was more similar to the box arts of other video games. This was when games weren't being made for the GBA anymore and only for the Nintendo DS, so I decided to make it for the DS. Of course, they never brought it to the states :'(

My goal in this was simple. Make a Super Mario Galaxy 2 cover that was AS EPIC as the game. I hope I succeeded.

I made this when only the trailer for Kirby's Epic Yarn was out. No box arts or anything. So now it probably doesn't look like much, but back then I thought it was pretty cool. Had to give everything that yarn like texture and stuff.

This was a creative cover for Wind Waker. I really wanted to capture the game's style somehow. Yes, Link doesn't have eyes ... I thought it looked better without them.

I have plenty more, but I'm not as proud of them since they were made quite a long time ago. If you want to check out my full box art portfolio, just head over to my VGBoxart page:

Cool, I remember seeing a lot of these back on VGBoxart. Tussle, Other M, and Galaxy 2 are my personal favorites. Nice job on them all!

These are pretty awesome, I really liked the Smash Bros. ones and the Donkey Kong Country one. I would like to see more of these in the future.

Wii U Smash Bros is amazing but the cover art is way too similar to the Wii.

Looks incredible man! Really dig both the Super Smash Bros. Universe and Donkey Kong Country ones.
Honestly, these are good enough to be the 'limited edition' or 'collectors edition' versions of the games. Especially that 'Metriod: Other M' box; I imagine it in a metallic tin or hard cover.

*dies* THESE ARE BRILLIANT!!!! YOU DESERVE A GOLD MEDAL IN THE CUSTOM BOX ART OLYMPICS!!!!! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!! Phew, these are really good. Love the Smash Bros. one, it actually looks real. The Donkey Kong and Mario Galaxy ones are awesome aswell, way better than the originals. :)

I like them a lot, especially the Donkey Kong variant. With Kirby I would have used wool instead of wood. Great art!

Here is one I made a while ago:

I wish they would do with the boxes what they did with the N64 cartridges. Make them different colors and whatnot. These are really good though, nice work :D
