Started this yesterday. I'm trying to make this a parody of San Andreas' box art using similar sorts of images, etc. What do you guys think so far? Oh and I'm aware that there should be an "IV" since it's "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but creating the "The Elder Scrolls" part in a GTA logo style takes up way too much "horizontal" space itself and an "IV" after "Scrolls" would cover up too much and stretch too much across the canvas compared to "The Elder". However, I plan to do something with the "IV" in "Oblivion" to make it stand out more, so that'll illustrate it as the fourth.

Also, if anyone at all knows where I can find all of the Oblivion loading screens, or are generous enough to rip them from the game and provide me with them, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

UPDATE:

I'm finding this pretty difficult, getting the right effect on screenshots.

Edit: Or maybe this..

Didn't change much here, just added a color overlay and texture to the "The Elder Scrolls" part of the logo to make it look older and somewhat worn.

Looking good Slim. Can't really say much at this stage though. Look forward to seeing the finished product :)

Thanks. I've updated the first post with an updated version. Really difficult to get this right :(

Ooh, I like the "OblIVion" text, creative. Not sure about the top left box, partly because I don't know what it is. Just doesn't seem to fit in.

It's a "dragon" statue. Didn't do a good job applying the effect to that one. I'll have to redo it.

It's good effort, but it just doesn't have the oblivion feeling, nawmeen?

Yeah I still plan on incorporating that into it somehow. Need to brainstorm ideas and test them. It's difficult for me to mess around with this so much because this PSD is made up of a lot of layers and shit. I keep all the layers used to make up a certain part, then copy and combine them all, so it's a pain to keep it organized properly so I'm able to mess with it.
