“The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion” by Jeremy Soule

I‘ve created these Oblivion covers at the same time, as my Morrowind covers. And in my opinion they look just as good. I’ve created two custom covers based on the different game editions, the Standard Edition (#1) and the Collector’s Edition (#2). No big deal, cropping the image to a square and adding the subtle credits at the bottom of the cover, so that it’s not distracting from the game’s logo. I wish I would have made it in a higher resolution. I’m currently revamping this whole series so please check back later. The dark cover (#3) is based on…

These Morrowind covers have a kind of warmth to them, that I can’t get enough of. They represent the music on the score so damn well, as if they’re coming right out of the game’s world, Tamriel. I’m really proud of the first one (#1), the credits font look just perfect to me. The colours and shadows blend in in so nicely with the background, as if they’ve always just been there. I love it! I’m not a hundret percent sure about the second one though (#2). I think the font type I chose here, looks a little too medieval…

There have been four official soundtracks for Crysis 2, and every single one looked basically the same. And also, horrible. I felt they were all too cool, too bold and in your face. But since I – to my own surprise – enjoyed the musical score quite good (something I couldn’t tell about the game though), I needed an adequate soundtrack cover. For my first custom I wanted something less sensationalistic and more subtle, but at the same time in the spirit of the game. I came up with this simple discbox slider design (#1), that would make a good promotional item. Maybe…

“BioShock” & “BioShock 2” by Garry Schyman, Various Artists

When Garry Schyman’s score soundtrack to BioShock was released on the official website, I immediately started designing cover artworks for it. I especially like the first one (#1) with it’s 3D-like surface. It took me some attempts to match the credits font with the official logo, but I think it turned out pretty good. I also compiled a song album with the licensed vintage music from the past, so I had to make a second cover (#2) to go along with it. The same goes for BioShock 2 of course. I created an entirely new score album art from scratch (#3) and also slightly…

“Diablo III” by Russell Brower

Over the course of five years, Diablo III was developed into what was released to the public in May 2012. And also it’s marketing underwent significant changes through that time. The official soundtrack (#1), that comes with the Collector’s Edition of the game, has a great artwork with many details to explore. Blizzard had always have great design, which don’t fall short of their games in any way. For sure one important aspect of their worldwide success. My first custom (#2) is based on the Collector’s Edition package. I did this very same cover some time last year with Matt…
