More DVD cases!

One of my favorite video games of all time is Final Fantasy III for the Super Nintendo (or as it is known today Final Fantasy VI).  My first memory of it was when I visited my cousins' house and they were playing it.  At the time, my sole RPG experience was Dragon Warrior, a NES game we got for free from Nintendo Power.  I didn't play that game much because I found it very repetitive, difficult, and boring.  What I saw in my brief exposure to Final Fantasy III at my cousins' house was completely different.  Here was a game with fleshed-out characters, a wonderful story, amazing music, and compared to Dragon Warrior, a pretty fun battle system.  I only saw the game for about a half hour, but I knew that it was special.  Unfortunately, that was the last I would see of the game for several years.

I was going to go further into the story about my playing Final Fantasy III, but as I started writing about it, I realized that there was so much to say, and it didn't feel appropriate for this blog post, which is supposed to be about a craft that I made inspired by Final Fantasy III.  I'll save that story for another time.
Suffice to say, one of my favorite parts of Final Fantasy III was it's music.  And one of the most famous (infamous?) scenes in Final Fantasy III is its opera scene, where one of the characters, Celes, finds herself in the lead female role in an opera.  The scene is very touching, and the music is extremely beautiful, even though the "singing" is limited to SNES sound effects.  I have heard orchestrated versions of the opera music, but there's a certain charm to the digitized version.

Anyway, inspired by this scene, I decided to make another set of DVD cases.  I found a good clip from the opera scene:

And here's the final product:

I don't think it shows up as well as my Yoshi's Island DVD cases, since most of the background is too dark.  Also the reference is a little more abstract to be people who are not as familiar with games, but I still think it turned out well.
