Pokemon Reborn Cover Art

[Guest]

So I came up with an idea from one of the recent threads in The Wasteland (http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13701) that brought up the idea of cover art/box art for Pokemon Reborn if it had or needed any. Even though Reborn is a downloadable game instead of a cartridge/card/disc game and doesn't actually need cover art it's still a cool idea and tbh the game is quite deserving of one, so I spent a few hours today and yesterday making these but I'm stuck between what looks better so I was hoping I could get some people to comment on it...

There's this, which tbh my personal favour is leaning more towards...

Then there's this

and this

The fan art in the two spoilers has poor resolution but I can probably invest the time into fixing that. I've started working on a back cover with screenshots, the game description on the download page and listed features of the game included but I don't want to do any extra work on that until it's decided which of the above three^ front covers are best so both sides compliment each other. After that I can post the full cover art to show everyone and see what comments people have on it.

Soo... any comments on these three covers? c:

Now, this looks amazing

[Shing]

Damn son, looks good.

[Tomas Elliot]

Lovely. Too bad this will never see the light commercially, it is indeed a great work...

[pmegakid]

Epic :o :o :o :o :o

i think what would look aesthetically pleasing is the centered "Pokemon Reborn" text with the absol off to the right, imo

nice graphic though :]

I kinda agree with this, resolution aside I actually think the one in the first spoiler looks neater than the one displayed... I like that disposition of images/text better!

I love how Absol is like THE Pokemon representing Reborn, yet we only see it once story-wise(introduction) and another time past halfway through if you picked up the right item waaaaaaay back. Wouldn't it be awesome if an Absol would cross our path anytime something is about to happen? And once we catch the one in the game another one starts showing up?

Plus the background makes me think more of the industrial Rhurgebiet in Germany than Reborn city.

But I have to admit it looks pretty awesome. That was also my reaction when I saw that picture here: http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13255&hl=%2Bmascot+%2Breborn

What I meant is that Reborn is never going to exist in physical copy for obvious reasons, so a "cover art" will never be needed... But it's kinda a pity, because this artwork is awesome.

[Gray-Productions]

That Artwork.... It almost brings a tear to my eye. But yes, it's definitely amazing

[Another Felix]

Who knows, maybe when the game is completed, this could be the artwork for the title in the finished game.

[Xiri]

Looks pretty awesome - especially the first one

[Amethyst]

It would be cool to have a reoccurring Absol appearance at each of the tragic events in the game actually... although I wouldn't want to wish extra work on Ame for something trivial

I'm a few steps ahead of you.

This is cool but I'd sooner commission some original art so we don't run into any issues with borrowed content.

And I might, in fact, do that at some point.

This is really amazing. Absol is my all-time favorite Pokemon and I really think it fits as a "mascot" to a Pokemon Reborn cover! I like the 1st version of it the most. Would also like to see more Absol involvement in the reborn plot :v

I've been wondering for a while where that art comes from. I've seen it in a few places.

[Alistair]

The art is amazing and the first one looks best in my opinion.

That being said, all these covers are awesome but reaaaally dark. Granted, Reborn is a grim game compared to canon Pokémon, but still. These covers reflect the mood of, let's say, barely a third of the current game. And that Absol looks like it wants to murder you.
