Sqoon Poster! Check it out

Well, I've been meaning to make this sexy poster of my favorite game box art and I finally did it.  Just thought I'd show it off.  24 x 36 in a cheap Walgreens frame.

  • nice, making more? of different games if you are?
  • Like say.... Bionic Commando? image





    Looks awesome!!
  • That is awesome, one of my all time favorite NES boxes!
  • I remember passing up on one of these for $25 in an ebay store... one of the dumbest things I've done! Nice!
  • Nice job Tusk! Love it!
  • Looks sexy. You take order and make lots of these.

    ~~NGD
  • Looks sick dude!
  • How cheap was the frame?

  • they're about 5-7 dollars



    more for nicer frames
  • If you can do this for cheap enough, you really could make a business out of this Tusker. That is very nice. I'd love one of these, a Zelda poster, and the Black Box games

    I wouldn't touch Zelda with a 10-foot pole if I were he, but defunct game ex-companies or licenses that haven't been touched for ten years (like...Sqoon!) are fair game I'd say. No more risk than making repros of an actual original ROM.
  • Oh crap, I was thinking of the Stinger poster, not Sqoon.

    Ah, he could do one just for me image


  • Awsome! Yo Tusk could you make me a Gimmick poster image ?

  • Looks great. How much did it cost you?
  • Thanks for all the love guys, I've really wanted this poster for some time, and I finally got around to printing it while I was at work. I have a few others for myself in mind.



    I can print anything you guys want, any size. biggest I'll go is that, 24x36. But I can go somewhat bigger, 42" x 150 feet. if needed. that's how big the rolls are for the printer I used for this. But it almost makes no sense to print anything bigger, especially NES boxes. even this sqoon box I probably printed to big, but it still looks fine to me. Just gets fuzzy when you blow it up. if you look close.



    PM if you guys want, I'll take some orders on whatever. I just won't print Seth's avatar, for anyone. But anything else, any box, any movie star, your kids smiling face, g'ma, NGD on a unicorn.



    (i just may need you to scan it at the highest res possible, which some scanners can't do) at least 600 res.



    I'd do a gimmick one or bionic commando one for sure, I'd consider a Zelda one. These would be printed to order. So, no dupes. Unless I wanted one. I would just need you to not tell anyone. And I would need a couple days / a week, depending on each one, and how many, etc, it takes a while to fix artwork, set it up, print it, cut it, pack it, ship it. Would have to come to you guys in a tube, and you'd have to buy a frame there, wherever you live.



    There was plenty of frames at walgreens, but you can go anywhere, probably cheaper at a art store. i paid 12 bucks for that frame, i know i've seen them cheaper.



    24x36 is this one. but I'll print whatever size. Just might be harder to make it to the size you want depending on the art, i had to add some white and black to the top for this one to fit.



    I'll charge 25 bucks shipped for now. for a poster cut to that size 24x36. if you want smaller or whatever let me know. I'll only take so many orders on this at a time. since its a lot of work into it and i'll have to stay at work late to do it. And I am just 1 single walrus, and I don't want to disappoint anyone.



    but this poster does look sweet in my game room.





  • mmm Bionic Commando...
  • Wow, $25 shipped is a steal, considering the printing cost is about $3/linear foot, right? (assuming one can even get access to a plotter)
  • PM that probably makes no sense sent!
  • That's a badass awesome poster! I had a similar situation with a Contra poster I had framed, because it was a unique size it was about $90 to get it professionally framed. Good stuff man! image

  • sooooooooo tusker, i assume you use your employer's resources to print these?



    i used one of my client's color copiers to copy $1 bills at about 11pm one friday night at work. they look excellent! (for any cops reading this, i am just joking, i would NEVER think about copying money and putting the bills in strippers g-strings) (for all other people, i would like to say that it is very fun to copy money!)
  • ^You're making almost six figs and you can't afford to give those bitches a couple of bucks?
  • lol, nice point Basil
  • oh believe me, i can afford to make it rain, but its so much more fun to play with monopoly money! image
  • Tuskers that poster is awesome! I'd probably be interested in getting some off of you too. I would love-love-love a Wild Gunman

    poster! Hehe I have a smile on my face even typing that (just now realizing I'm a nerd image) I'd like to redo the box art in vector format (to avoid the chance it would rasterize (sp?)) since they're pretty much squares and are easy to replicate. hehe so cool. So... can you put me down for one of those? I'll get the artwork together if so. And I'm happy to vectorize any other black box art if anyone else needs it. I LOVE YOU TUSK.



    BTW i haven't heard about your CD.. but ill get on that today.



  • Tusk, that rules.
  • Another great job Tusk!
  • mmm. Marble Madness poster would give me a boner.
