--- Quote from: Wyvern gcw on February 07, 2012, 03:58:17 PM ---Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but as a collector, if you downloaded a cover and in the small print it read an URL to Deviant Art, an URL to cover project or just the persons name - would you be offended? And also, it could always be removed by a little bit of Paint Shop. As a collector I wouldn't mind at all and in fact would like to look up and see some of their work at Deviant art etc. and say, 'hey, great cover - I have it on my shelf'. Just a thought. Some covers I have printed from here have an URL and attribution on them - I've never taken it off the cover (even when they stinkin' make it too big). If the attribution did read, 'dickface' it wouldn't get accepted into the gallery anyway, or someone would download it - remove that and re-upload it. This community uncommonly stays organized and polices itself which is why it hasn't fallen apart into a heap mess like VGBoxART I would imagine. My humble opinions. *bows* -Paula --- End quote --- I suggested a long time ago that the downloads page have comments fields so that authors could leave credit for DA artists and the like. |

I have been lurking on this site for a while and it has done wonders for my collection, so as someone who just uses these covers (and greatly appreciates them) I can see why some may want credit for their work. This may have been suggested already but I didn't read all of the posts, what about just having a stickied thread where a artist could say "hey I did this cover" That way people can praise them if they want and its not on the covers themselves. |

I haven't made any game covers yet, but on some of my DVD covers, I've placed my name among the copyright info, just to let anyone who sees it know that's its for personal use only. |

I'm personally agents it, unless the artist actually drew the cover art. I did hide my name on one of my first covers for the Neverhood In a screenshot and have not on any of the ones I mad after. Even If we are cleaning up the box scans, we did not actually make the art of the cover and have no reason to take credit for it, It it was a custom, like Wiggys set than yes, add a made buy credit somewhere. |
