How To make Box Art?

Post by wilko123 »

Well, I'm making my own Series.
Turnabout Splendid, I'm currently on episode 2,
and I'm wondering how to make the Box Art for it?
Can anyone tell me how they did.

Hi!
There are several ways. If you want to do it yourself, follow this guide. If you don't / can't / whatever, ask someone to do it. Best boxart creator here's Tap. :wink:

I see. That IS a problem, indeed. But as I said, give a request. :)
We have a topic created for users to post sprite requests. I'm sure, someone will help you.
Just out of interest, which program do you use normally?

You can use GIMP. It's free and it can do almost everything that Photoshop can.

Apologies for the massive necrobump, but thanks to some additional help...

There are three characters missing, but I'm getting help with those.
Like the creator of Final Fantasy, I'm better at telling a story.
If you need help animating Ace Attorney sprite sheets, I'm your man.
