Thanks.  I need to brush up on my graphic design skills. I haven't really done anything serious since college.
Did you do something too that one?

I cleaned it up a bit. I noticed that I missed a few spots and I just went ahead and further cropped it.

I wonder what it would look like if the girl was flipped around and put behind the arm?? Would that be sacrilege? It would use the space more efficiently.

Yeah, I think it would be since it would invert the image and put Sarah's atma on the wrong side. The Devil Summoner one is a pretty big waste of space too. If you shrink it down it should fit fine. I was thinking of going with an image of Seraph too actually but s/he's only in DDS2.
I just realized that it has the Digital Devil Saga 2 logo in the corner of the box for that Black Frost toy... I don't remember him even being in either game...?

The DS one is fine (I actually know how these'll be used)
It's not a composition thing, it's a layout thing. I like the DDSaga one, but I just don't think it will work. At the minimum the crop would have to be much higher, then that would throw the arm into question, which really isn't removable, and still consumes too much space for what it is. Plust the natural crop for that piece doesn't seem like it should be at the chest as there is a lot going on there.
I really don't know DDSaga, but I imagine there must be many more options available. Though that artwork is particularly nice (except the forearm seems a bit silly -- imo)
I kinda prefer using quirky characters that are perhaps more central to the game than the lead characters themselves (which generally have little personality) ...though in the DS case, I just couldn't come up with anything else that links all the games.

That's the other thing: there's not much production art floating around for DDS. Most of the scans I've seen are generally of polygonal models. It's a pity too since a lot of the 'evil' Asura demon forms are pretty neat looking.
Jenna Angel might be a good choice though.

While I'm at it I might as well ask:
Does anyone have a larger scan of this image????:

How does this strike everyone as a new site banner?

It's a bit out there. I like the theme of the current banner but the execution is pretty poor. I might try finding a better image of the boy/girl to edit over them.
You'd have to find a better font, but I don't care if the banner gets shuffled out every day. Whether or not the font should change from banner to banner is debatable.
PS: I realize I asked for a pixely font, but that's not really what I imagined. Plus if I got what I imagined it wouldn't work with the current banner anyhow. I definitely don't wanna adopt the SMT seal of solomon. Even though I like it, I think it's too divisive. It's ok as long as it's just a banner decal and the banner get's shuffled though.
