    Xypher, what font did you use in your image for the words 3d real time strategy ? Ive been after that font for ages

    And ive been staring at my hw and cata case since the start of this thread trying to come up with something, homeworldy lol. You had the same idea i had just i thought it might be nice to have hiigara in the centre, and couldnt find a decent fleet pic. Keep working on yours man, its looking fab !

    Can anyone suggest a way I could accomplish the eclipse effect I was going for on my second pic? I feel like the edge of the black sphere is too defined - that it should be letting more light bleed into it to augment the sense of the intensity of the light behind, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I'm using PSP, not PS, but if someone can just describe how it's accomplished in general terms I might be able to figure it out from there.

    I think Agrippa's one is the best. It's surely the most eye-catching of all!!!
    Seriously: Xypher#1 and Vijil#1.

    hey vijil, what program are you using? i love the first cover, but the drop dhadow looks... boxy. almost sort of pixelated. you see what I mean? you can see squares in there.

    oh, and ohaunlaim, I can't see your pic.

    all of these are way! better than the Relic box. Outstanding in fact. I personally like the blackbox with just the logo. Only homeworlders would know what it is therefore leaving the first production batch for us.

    I like the art, good art for a box cover.....

    Anyway, why don't creat a "vaygr" and "Hiigaran" edition, just like Black&White had. I would double the revenues for Homeworld2 sales and make a add-on more likely .

    Thought I'd give it a shot. Here's one.

    It's a shame the moon is so small. It would have looked good if the template was a little bigger.



    I'll have more later:angel:

    Where my mind wanders
    For those of you who cant seem to see my entry into this thread, I have pm'd for possible hosting. I apologize for any frustrations that have been incurred due to my using geocities. Have patience and you may yet get an eye full.

    Oh, and I absolutely love vijil's first entry. White boxes are one of my absolute favorites (likely because they are so rare - but thats beside the point.) And I tend to prefer simple, straight-forward, clean art with subtle-but-undeniably-powerful touches of style. Vijil scores high on all points. I kick myself for not thinking of something similar first. Kudos for vijil !!

    Vijil - I love the first one! Though I must confess it has the feel of a PS2 title in its art. Superb.

    Zurgnoff - this was the design I had thought of as well, mimicing the original box art.

    I like it fox... much less painful.

    The ships seem a bit disorganized though... kinda scattered about like they're heading in different directions.

    These are all ridiculously beautiful, and I would buy them all, but so far my favorite is EmmteeMoe's all the way back on page 3. Imagine having many different box covers each with a different schematic of a ship like that. It would be amazing with all setup on a wall.

    here is what mine looks like so far:



    It still needs touching up, but i think it is pretty good, considering the fact that i don't know much about photoshop.

    Relic should just release some screenshots and or renders and just let us make their boxes for them

    Ok, done some modifications. I fixed the shadow and added a semi transparent white layer under the text (which is larger and centered). I also put all the right stickers in place, and moved the relic logo to its proper abode at the top. A nice little highlight has been added to the bottom bit.

    I think this is starting to look quite good!

    OK, so here it is:


    Oh and by the way, the font is OCR A extended, a standard windows font which looks nothing like this until you halve its height/width ratio.

    I love that one except for that gaudy Relic logo at the top. Go out on a limb and change it to match the theme.

    I think it works as is, since there are lots of other yellow bits.

    Hopefully at the lake. Miss that place terribly in the winter.
    Pimpster, that would make a FINE poster! I think the other guys are right in that the phrase "Epic real-time strategy" or something like it seems to make it look more game-boxey, but your composure, focus rather than clutter, and color choices would make that look right nice pinned in 11x14 format up on my wall. .

    If relic would try to get free boxart from fans, that will be the lowest thing ever, they'd probably make history.

    The current boxart is okay, it gets your attention, it does its job.

    My day is soo sh*ty, a friend told me that halo2 wont be out til next year, then i checked on the internet and it turnes out it is.

    im not suggesting they should take it for free..... mabye give the person they pick a free copy of the game or some money or somtin

    personaly though i wouldn't mind giving them a few hours of photo editing for free....after all we kinda owe them for taking the time to make homeworld and do a good job of it
