Just something I've been doing for fun. I did not create any of the characters or stages (although I've dabbled in some palettes to create certain characters.

These were my first, more of an audition than anything else:

Then I started getting a bit more ambitious.

(I may want to redo this one now that we have a better Daredevil)

Time for some Golden Age action:

Time for the big guns!

These two are the most recent, after a long hiatus:

More are on the way!

I know I already did a Daredevil cover, but after the recent release of Arkady's DD, I couldn't resist, this time going for a Silver Age feel.

Another one I've had on the backburner for a while, this time going back to the Golden Age with Doctor Fate taking on his arch-enemy Wotan!

For this one, I wanted to try something a bit more artistic, just as a change of pace.

I really making enjoyed this Iron Man cover, featuring a bunch of palette swaps as ol' Shellhead's rogues!

Snake-Eyes as Spymaster
C. Falcon as The Melter
Omega Red as Whiplash
Cyclops as The Blizzard
Blue Beetle III as The Beetle

Here's another Flash cover - I've done a Barry Allen cover, and technically a cover from Jay Garrick's Golden Age series, even if I featured Hawkman instead. Now it's Wally West's turn!

This isn't one of my better ones, but I was experimenting with trying to make the covers look a bit more dynamic.

Well, it's finally time for an X-Men cover! Unfortunately, it looks like they're fighting each other instead of getting ready to face off the villain, but that's the limit of working with sprites.

Once again, I'm going back to the Golden Age for these next two! First up, one of my favorite Golden Age characters: Captain Marvel!

Next up, another Batman cover! I tried actually getting The Joker into this one, but I think it works better without him.

I've been wanting to do a Spawn cover for a while, and here it is! Not entirely happy with how it came out, though.

This one was a lot of fun to do, especially trying to go for Stan Lee-style cover blurbs from the Silver Age!

these are awesome

I know I've been doing a lot of Marvel covers lately, but here's one I've been wanting to do for a while starring one of my favorite Marvel heroes: Ghost Rider!

NightDevil123 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 06, 2016, 01:46:37 PM »

I'm back, with another cover I've been planning out for a long time - it was just a matter of snagging the right background for it.

I mostly did this one to show of some palettes I came up with of Iron Patriot as the Crimson Dynamo and Jason Todd as Batroc. (I couldn't actually get the mustache into the palette - I just drew them onto the sprite.

This was just because I'm a fan of the character:

Goresickness requested a Captain Marvel vs. Black Adam cover for one of his projects, and I'm posting both versions I came up with here. The first is a Golden Age style cover, while the second is based on Cap's Power of Shazam series from the 1990s. (I thought about adding text to the second one, but I think it works better without it.)

Another Superman and Spider-Man cover, this time homaging the Bronze and late Silver Age respectively:

These are really cool. +1

NightDevil123 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 26, 2016, 10:11:06 PM »

Thanks! More to come!

I'm back once again! I finally got some inspiration (not to mention some new comic title resources), and here are some I've been wanting to do for a long time - they just took a lot of tries to get right.

NightDevil123 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2017, 02:31:44 PM »

Taking a trip back to the Golden Age and riding the recent Solomon Grundy gravy train!

As much as I really hate redoing old covers, feeling like I'm covering up past mistakes, this is one I really wanted to redo -the very first sprite cover I ever made and posted. (See the top of the thread for the original.)

Last for now, here's one of my favorite DC heroes getting his own cover at last!

Wow man I am a fan of those covers u design!!! Love the Despero fight there!! Keep them coming!!

I remember I had some cover requests in the past and u fullfilled them!!

In case u want some ideas I love to see some AVX or Dark Phoenix Saga and more Jla ones!!!

Acey · « **Reply #19 on:** January 06, 2017, 03:49:44 PM »

Thank for sharing your covers. It would be more interesting if they were recreations of actual covers though.

Thanks! I've kicked that around, actually. I just feel like I'd be competing too much with the original, and I enjoy the creativity of coming up with my own. (Besides, I'm a stickler for accuracy, and any deviations required by the lack of available sprites or whatnot wouldn't sit right with me.) But never say never!

Thanks! More JLA ones are on the way. Dark Phoenix...I think I have to wait for certain characters to get made first.

As for AvX, sorry to disappoint, but I'm not a big fan of heroes vs. heroes - I'm more interested in seeing them fight bad guys. But as I told Acey in the previous post, never say never!

For some reason, I've been on an X-Men kick lately, and these are three I've had in mind since I started doing this. (The third one is one of my favorites so far.)

NX-MEN · « **Reply #23 on:** January 16, 2017, 02:32:31 PM »

Man I love those X-Men Covers!!!!

Love the stories of the original team or the Night of the Sentinels and the Acolytes!!

NightDevil123 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 17, 2017, 12:13:17 AM »

Yet ANOTHER one! Maybe I should pace myself so I don't run out of ideas too quickly. Also, this one gave me some...practice for things to come...
