Why did I have to read this thread...at 11:00 at night...while sitting in the art and design computer lab...when I have a massive amount of homework to do??

Here's my hour's worth of photoshopping a Brawl cover, yo.



Bonus points for whoever can name every character silhouetted.

Well whoever is having problems with those character backgrounds. Heres how; its very simple step by step :

1-Select the magic wand tool (looks like a stick with a star on the end) use this for selecting areas to then delete. In this case the backgrounds.

2-See on the top that thing that says "Tolerance"? The lower the number in it, the more precise the magic wand will be. For example, if you type in 1 then the magic wand will select only very small parts of the color and will look at even the most miniscule changes in the color. While if you type 100, It won't distinguish Light blue from medium blue from dark blue but I always suggest a low number. In our case, type 18.

3-Click on any part of the background. See the line around a part of the background ? Thats what you selected. Now press on other parts of the background HOLDING the button with the windows logo (if you are using windows) or the button with the apple (If you are using Mac).
ONLY PRESS ON THE BACKGROUND. NOT ON THE CHARACTER. Also remember that, if the character has its legs crossing forming a gap in between the legs, get that area too.

4-Once you are done selecting, at the top bar click select, then inverse. Now the character should be selected instead of the background.

5-If you want to delete the background, at the top bar, press Edit then Cut. But if you simply wanna move it then change to the move tool and move the selection!

I hope i was of help

Sorry I can't make a box art. I don't know what to do yet.

I will make a back cover, I've already thought about it. I didn't get all the characters onto the front cover so it'll be nice to do back. I felt bad for excluding Zelda, Peach, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Mewtwo...etc...etc...

Alright, I've got a lot of homework right now. (As always, who wants to trade lives with me?)

But tomorrow...or late late tonight I'll bust out the CS3 and see what I can do.

1. Is your Biggie support for serious?
2. Captain Falcon isn't on the real box art.
1.It's actually just the first sig thing I made, and I'm a fan. He's not in Brawl at all.
2.That's just the filler 'till the real one comes out. Why would a character as a starter from a previous game be unlockable?

I've heard all the speculation on the cover on Amazon...and although I'm not going to flat out say that cover is fake...I just think if the real cover was known it would be on Dojo however. Sakurai really likes revealing everything himself before people find it on some other site.

Couldn't you see that being an update? "Here's the box cover"

I'll photoshop Captain and others onto the back of my box, don't worry kids.

that IS the official box art. it was on an official nitendo website, and was the cover of nintendo power. it is official, at least for now.

The character between Samus' legs is Mesprit
. It fits perfectly in the orange there - that's why nobody's gotten it yet.

I've heard people say that the boxart was on the Nintendo site, but couldn't find it. Linx plz? I'm more than willing to believe that's the cover, I like illustrated box covers, but I feel like what I've seen as of yet doesn't substantiate the certainty with which people regard it's authenticity.

...and no the character between Samus' legs isn't Mespirit...I don't even know what Mespirit is. It looks like a Pokemon...wikipedia...yeah it is....but no, forming it's outline with the negative space wasn't my intention...but it's both amazing how much it DOES look like that shape...and the fact that you saw that shape and recognized it as a Pokemon.

But seriously, it's really not important what it is. Don't try to guess it, you won't.

Nope, it's not Olimar, he's on my new back cover. Tada...another hour of my life wasted.



Gotta give cred to FoodisGood for thinking of doing a back cover first. New characters for you all to guess at. I think this side's easier...it doesn't have any rediculously obscure characters like the one on the front cover which nobody will ever ever figure out.

EDIT:Hmm...maybe I should squeeze some more characters onto that backside.

It is starting a slow-lazy start. and some people on the internet and real life want me to make some stuff for them, so i am holding it for a while.

Group pics takes a looong time to finish.

I think that you should move some characters on the front to the back. Where is the mystery character again?
