Something I was working on today...

To get things out of the way, I'm not a fan of the US cover for Ys Seven. In fact, when I first saw it, I scoffed and told myself that I could do better. So, after procrastinating on it for a while, I finally decided to get off my lazy butt and actually put something together. It took a few good hours to put together (finding good quality art for the characters and logos is such a pain!), but here it is:

What do you all think? Feedback is always appreciated!

Thanks.

Yeah, the space at the bottom really bugged me, and I was tempted to try and move the faded text moved up a bit more to compensate for that, but then I noticed it got in the way of the cool fossil in the background. I guess if I dare to redo the characters, I could possibly not have them fade out as much...

Also, I never really considered there to be space at the top, mostly because of (again) the really cool fossil in the background. I see what you mean though... originally, I wasn't going to have Dogi and Aisha in it, and just have Adol, although I think with the placement with everything it would have created even more space.

Lastly, a strange thing I just noticed, is that there seem to be two different types of art for the characters, one where they have the pupils colored in and another where they don't.
