>>47953596Let's break down inherent problems of trying to make the boxart /vp/ wants.
First, Dialga and Palkia aren't getting some special new form. Remakes/3rd versions have bad the unique opportunity of using new art of previous games or some new form like Primal Groudon and Kyogre.
Second, reusing Sugimori art wouldn't be an option (unless you'd want something even lazier than typical box art). HGSS and FRLG had the opportunity to get modernized Sugimori art, ORAS didn't. But ORAS had new forms to work with and use for new Sugimori art. BDSP doesn't have either option since there's already modern Sugimori art floating around of Dialga and Palkia, and a lack of forms for marketing, they NEED to do something different.
These two big problems make box art a challenge as it needs to distinguish itself. If the games are supposed to be pretty faithful HD versions of the originals, it at least makes sense that they went with the RTX-On Dialga and Palkia. They're over-detailed, sure, but at least they aren't no fucking effort at all.
Shining Pearl's composition still bothers the fuck outta me though with that massive open space in the upper right corner. Everything else is relatively filled in on both the rest of the SP cover and the entirety of BD. Could absolutely be better posed too, but it's at least not lazy.
