I made these covers because I couldn't find any covers on this site. I'd love to get some feedback as it is my first go at making covers.
I made them from Jigsaws template and tried to make them match as much as I could, so they look about the same spine wise.

I also made black spine versions, to match the alternates Jigsaw made.

I can't really check them at work, but at quick look only thing wrong is that DG3 logo is cut off partially.
Nice.
Thank you.
I will probably cannibalize them at some point to make US Vertical covers.

Like this?

I could upload a version without some of the Japanese text if you'd like.
-
Yep that is better. ;D
And yes please.
I sure could use as the front/spine (as big/uncropped as you have it) image without text.
As well as the logo.
I make covers using this type of template:

I hope this is what you had in mind:

Yes. Thank you.
As for the covers themselves I checked them at home.
DQ3 is amazing.
DG1&2 is good but if you have energy I would erase the front's background and just use bucket tool to flood the back with solid color.
Same goes for the border of front image and maybe logo's text.
But that could lead to nasty rabbit hole of endless tweaking to remove micro stains and grain.
I might do that once I finally (soonish) get my room renovation the point that I can set up my proper computer so I can concentrate on editing covers.
Anyway, big thank you for the covers.
-
Thank you very much!
I put a lot of effort into the DQ3 cover, but as you mentioned, I was not as thorough with the DQ 1&2 Cover.
So I polished it up so it looks like this now:

I also made a version with a solid color, but personally I prefer the texture from the Original Box.

I've tried to upload the DQ3 and DQ 1+2 Covers, but I keep getting these errors from the site, other games seems to work fine though, like mother 1+2 or mother 3. Should I just wait or contact an admin?
-
Thank you.
That plain background cover IMHO look sharper (pun intended), but I do admit that the other version does have certain nice rustic look to it.
The cover upload is currently bit stuffy but our big boss is fixing it so waiting is best option.
Your topic is clearly named so people should find these covers while we wait.
