Wow that Breath of Fire IV (With American Logo) is Great thanks so much!
but the cover art on the Suikoden cover is horrifying! what's wrong with the main character?! he looks like he got his face pressed by a steam roller, Gremio and Victor look fine though 

I am collecting art so i can get to work on covers for:
Megaman X4
Alundra 1
Grandia 1
Suikoden 1/2 covers
new Parasite eve 1/2 covers
Fear effect 1/2 covers 2-CD 2keepcase's per game sets
Wild Arms 2
Tales of Destiny 1 and 2
FF 7/8/9  2-CD 2keepcase's per game sets

FF 7/8/9  2-CD 2keepcase's per game sets 

you do realize that you can buy 3 and 4 disc standard sized DVD cases right? No need for that "2 keepcases per game" stuff.

Standard and Greatest Hits versions, since Vagrant Story did get a Green Label re-release. This has got me thinking about doing other Squaresoft RPGs that didn't have Final Fantasy in the title. I just remembered that I have Legend of Mana somewhere, and I'm looking to get Threads of Fate, which I remember playing a demo of back in the day and loving.

Velmeran: Not bad at all, actually! I would have used these myself, had there been a vertical version available.

twilight: Glad I could help!

Sark: It's pretty hard to find suitable official Suikoden art. While there's buckets of it for the sequels, the original gets kinda ignored. That picture actually came from a strategy guide, apparently.
I don't really see his face as being flat... the only thing that kinda bugs me is that it seems like it should be just a bit bigger. Also, his eyes kinda look to big, but I guess that is intentional.

[Conn]

Just one suggestion for your Suikoden cover... in the horizontal version, I would move the art over to the right a bit, to centre it. It looks a bit strange as it is.

[the7k]

Actually, after measuring it, it looks more like the front art would need to be moved to the left to be completely centered. Besides, I'm already using ever bit of the art I had; if I move it to the right, there will just be dead space beside Gremio.

[juan0tron]

Just a thought, but why the bright green on the back of the grreakest hits covers? They never did that on the ps1/ps2, plus it stands out a bit too uch. Otherwise, excellent work!

[the7k]

Well, that's just how the template worked, and it gives it a bit more uniformity. You could always just download both versions, and "copy-pasta" the back of the Black Label version onto the Greatest Hits cover. I've done it a few times myself for Dreamcast and Saturn games.

By the way, Shenske, is there any chance that you might make a vertical version of the Final Fantasy Tactics cover? Of course, do it whenever ya wanna if ya wanna, it isn't necessary. It just something I think I'll be going for.

ugh, sorry, VERTICAL cover.

Told'ya I'd make 'em, even if nobody'll appreciate 'um! I don't like just slapping the rear cover from the CD onto the custom cases, but in this case, I think you'd understand. I ain't gonna learn how to type Japanese in one evening.

Don't know what I'll make next. I wanna make a Threads of Fate one, but I should probably wait until I've actually got it. I also just remembered that I have Darkstalkers, Mega Man X4 and X5 somewhere around, but I'm sure plenty of other folks have those on the brain.

People always apprecite covers ... they just aren't always very vocal.  Just look at any cover thread, there usually isn't a lot of praise.  When the cover is uploaded to the site you can see how many people uses your covers by the number of downloads.

I have Megaman X4, X6 and 8 and i plan on making covers for those too
(actually X4 is just about done, 3 months ago  i need to dig it back up)
You are more than welcome to make those covers too i was just letting you know that i plan on making them aswell.

[the7k]

Nah, I didn't mean it like that. It's just, they're Japanese games, and I doubt very many people actually have 'em.

Yeah, I kinda figured that I shouldn't worry about Mega Man. I'd rather try giving covers to games that aren't very likely to receive covers anyway. Less competition = more likelihood of people using my stuff =P

Well if your looking for "suggestions" from your list, I'd love to see more LoD covers

Sorry for the rather crappy quality on the front cover of this upload. Unfortunately, you have to take just about anything you can get when it comes to Legend of Dragoon images. Too many better images have the logo splashed on awkward to work with areas, it's a freaking hassle to find clean images. I'll be using the vert Green Label version myself, since I wasn't lucky enough to get it on its first run.

(*Pst!* Shenske... my FFT happens to be Green Label too. Just, throwing that out there...)

This, on the other hand, I'm rather satisfied with. I used Demitri as the cover boy because it was called "Vampire" in Japan, so the focus was kinda on him for the first game. If you don't like me using Felicia on the back cover... hey, it's my cover. =P

Hope y'all enjoy 'em! I just got Um Jammer Lammy and Ball Breakers at a pawn shop (Factory Sealed and really cheap! Hallelujah!) so I plan to make covers for them soon. However, Ball Breakers is going to be really tough to find art for... any ideas? I mean, I have the case and all its contents in perfect shape, but the last thing I wanna do is just scan the cover and stretch it to DVD cover proportions... ick.
