I am curious. Also how do you upload a cover for a game that is not on the list?
Thank you all and I hope you enjoy the covers I make.
Covers made so far and posted in appropriate threads on the forum:
Saga Frontier PS1 Custom https://i.imgur.com/4uNtRbQ.jpg (https://i.imgur.com/4uNtRbQ.jpg)
Jade Cocoon PS1 Custom https://i.imgur.com/zxIogie.jpg (https://i.imgur.com/zxIogie.jpg)
Tak Power of the Juju GBA Retail (Request) https://i.imgur.com/LdqNe0H.jpg (https://i.imgur.com/LdqNe0H.jpg)
Covers in progress:

Vagrant Story PS1 Custom
Dragon Warrior VII PS1 Custom
Wild Arms 2 PS1 Custom

If it has not been aproved wihtin 2 weeks, the cover was likely rejected. Unfortunately there is no response. :(
Every cover has to be added to the database manually by a cover admin. If you have a cover for a game not on the list, just upload it under any other game in the same category. The admins will sort it out later.
I took a quick look at your covers. My guess is, that they will probably be rejected, because of the low resolution artwork on them (especially the gameboy cover).
But at the moment the site is broken anyway (see this thread (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=24253.0)) and no covers can be added to the database. No word yet on when this will be fixed. :)

The Tak cover I can see the low resolution claim, but the others are much higher quality than most I've seen on this site. I've printed these covers out and they look sharp and vibrant. Thanks for the input though. Couldn't get the artwork any higher resolution except trying to redraw the piece. Can only be as high as the source material.

TCP's 2002 low quality standards of covers that are currently hosted doesn't mean that 2018's shitty covers can also be hosted as a "replacement". I can't view these covers while at work as imgur is blocked, but they have to be perfect to pass the Nazi SAT test the admins have here.

Saga Frontier and Tak have been done with too low resolution material.
They both are usable but not high enough for adding to the actual site.
Jade Cocoon probably would pass exept it's 96DPI (altough this might be due to imgur screwing the resolution as it's about towel size).
All covers of our site are 300DPI.
For cover sharing I suggest using Mediafire or Box as those for sure won't alter the image.
Anyhow the uploads are broken currently so not even absolute perfect covers can be uploaded.

Thanks for the help guys

Sure thing. Welcome to the site, please post all your requests (say Playstation 1 Covers) in individual posts. It's highly annoying.

Paint.net is quite good with correct add-ons, I too use it.

You can't just use random images you find online, unless 300dpi or more. You have to scan the original cover, or have someone else scan it. And the raw scan needs to be 600 dpi high quality. That's how this site works.
