Hello, Tumblr! First ever post on here. To commemorate this occasion, here’s my recreation of Mother Earth from the cult-classic RPG, Mother (or most commonly known to international audiences, EarthBound). This was supposed to be released on New Year’s Day, but it got delayed due to me being the lazy bum that I am. This isn’t really a cover so to speak since this is based on VinylCheese’s FDS cover of Mother Earth, all I did was copied it but excluded the FDS part of the cover. I know, it’s not really creative; copying someone else’s cover of a song and calling it your own by changing a thing or two about it, but cut me some slack, okay? I’m relatively an amateur when it comes to Famitracker and I’m honestly satisfied with it sounds. This will be the ONLY cover like this; all my future music covers (yes, future music covers, this is only the start) will be composed by me.
Anyways, I’ll end this post here. I have a lot more covers in the works and I’m hoping to getting them done soon. Hope you stick with me on my beginning!Â
I am having profound difficulty focusing for more than like thirty seconds today
Even if I’m not particularly happy with how this turned out, I can’t say that I started with a very happy premise, either...considering that I’ve mostly been in the mood to do venty typography. Also, trying to go out of my typographical comfort zone by 1) explicitly working with RGB colors, 2) trying to fiddle with glowing shit after years of not bothering, and 3) trying to use a screwball 8-bit font...probably didn’t help.
Regardless, I tried. I figure I should show stuff I don’t do too well with, too.
I’m also kind of mad at myself for forgetting to save the stupid .psd for this particular iteration, so if I want to make it look like this again, I’ll have to start from scratch.
