ZOOL Flashback Plok World of Heroes 2 I didn't make these, I take no credit for them. I just found them. |
| Spiden:
These are great finds but the resolution is only 72 DPI. On this site, 300 DPI is the preferred resolution. Thank you for sharing these though, they'll make great placeholders until we can get some higher quality scans. |

The Addams Family (I found a PAL version cover art) Cutthroat Island Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (I found a PAL version cover art) Mario's Early years fun with numbers primal rage radical psycho machine racing scooby-doo mystery (dead link on the board) spider-man super nes super scope 6 toys ultimate fighter waialae country club world heroes Some of the ones on your list I believe I have horizontal cover art for. If I find the files, I will upload them. --- End quote --- Could someone help me find these though? These aren't on that master list, but I can't find them anywhere. |

I would like to check them for quality as we could need some for the site but only got so much time you know. Also are those customs or retail (back legal text original, spine like it should be)? --- End quote --- Sure man! I am making them for Banisher for this list of missing covers on the site......which I assume was for eventual upload to the main site. I have been uploading them through the "Upload a cover" tab as I go but often receive errors when the upload is complete which I was not sure about, some of them may be sitting in your lists for approval now I would hope. Anyway, to answer your questions = 1 - All of them are 300 DPI and above for sure, just checked them all.......also, to be clear (literally, lol), all of them were made using 600 DPI scans that Banisher sent me. 2 - Of course about the quality check, expect nothing less if they are going up on the main outward facing part of the site......but again, that is/was always what I have in mind when I make/made them, so hopefully with the amount of wrist aching detail I have been cleaning these up with, they should meet your standards hopefully. 3 - ALL of the back text is COMPLETELY legit......cleaned up, whitened (or coloured whatever the original colour was) so they pop out more than the scans I have and generally the back text is what takes me the longest to do as I comb over every single little detail to make sure it is both in line with the retail original and of good quality without colour bleeding or distortion - I use Shenske's template but hardly use the pre-packaged back text with that, as most covers differ from that so much. 4 - The spines are the same as above but the only difference to retail is that I have left the bottom SNES grey logo to ensure display continuity......seems like most people leave that there on retail horizontal covers, so I did, checked with the guys in here and they said fine to do so. If you want that removed so it is PURE original retail, then let me know and I will go through them all, whip that out and re-upload. Also, so you dont have to go back through the pages here to find the ones I have done so far......here they are for you = --- End quote --- Took a look at them. Sorry but they won't make it to the site. Just at first glance the fronts and screenshots need a lot more cleaning. There are dirt spots and residue and other stuff everywhere especially on the fronts. Als most of the fronts and screens could use some more color and sharpness but that is sth I can do prior to uploading. The cleaning I don't have time for sorry. |

The cleaning I don't have time for sorry. --- End quote --- Hey tiktektak, Thanks for taking the time to look at them and getting back to me........however, whilst I appreciate what you are saying and judegment, I would just like to check a few things with you if you dont mind purely in the name of me getting better at this. ***Please do not take the below as me arguing or throwing a hissy fit here at your feedback.......I really would just like to know a bit more, especially as I dont want to continue making covers like these if they are essentially not wanted by people because of these quality issues - I didnt come here to make these covers, they are not for me in any way, I only started doing them because Banisher really liked my SFC covers and asked me if I would help out with these, and I really enjoy doing it*** 1 - Of course, the main front images are the least cleaned up part of the covers I have made but In my mind, I have only not cleaned or re-coloured areas on those images where it involves shading that I cannot re-create.........solid areas of colour I always endeavour to fill in to get rid of that dot matrix look they have to make those areas more bold and clean looking. The Incredible Crash Test Dummies cover is a good example of that......where the entire red background, all the yellow and black check side bars, the game logo, and some other elements dotted around the front image were all cleaned and worked hard on to make them pop........but the car and the characters on the front had so much shading on them, there was no way I could re-colour them without COMPLETELY re-drawing them, something I dont have the time, inclination or Photoshop proficiency to do. Also, not sure whether you looked at the Adventures of Mighty Max one but that cover I ABSOLUTELY re-coloured and cleaned every inch including front, as it was all mostly solid colours without shading, so felt comfortable going for that one. Did you perhaps ONLY look at the early ones I did like Beauty and the Beast, James Bond Jnr?........as I do know, and it has been noticed and praised by Banisher, that I have improved with my cleaning since then. 2 - Spiden and Banisher have always been very grateful and encouraging of the covers I have made........with Banisher literally requesting me to make them for him (I thought he was "just" a member wanting some covers for his personal collection at first, lol) and subsequently sending me the scans for the covers he needs.........so I guess I thought that if those guys were/are happy with them, and Banisher keeps asking me to make them without anything other than thanks and praise, that I was making them up to a decent standard. Banisher also included me in his "thanks to the artists" post a page or so back in this thread.........which in all honesty, made me feel really quite proud and happy of the "work" Ive done with these, as being mentioned with those established guys so early in my being here felt really good and encouraging. 3 - I just randomly clicked on and selected a few covers already on the site and I was wondering, for the sake of showing me EXACTLY what it is I am doing and/or not doing (so as to improve)......where the differences are in quality? To be honest, the Magical Quest one below......the front is clearly the original scanned quality, with that dot matrix look to it, no re-colouring and some imperfections around the edges (especially at the top). Illusions of Gaia is even worse.......look at the top left area on the front, lots of imperfections, dust?, scratch marks that I cannot imagine leaving in my covers (not saying I might have missed some here and there but I actively look out for them and address them).......no re-colouring whatsoever here again, just straight copy and paste. Also, on both of the randomly selected covers below, the back screen shots of the game are again quite pixilated and appearing like un-cleaned original scan images.........similar to the ones I get from the 600dpi images I use. Finally, on both these randomly found covers......areas of the back text or either uncleaned, with imperfections, dulled colours (especially the red boxes on Illusions of Gaia), even missing elements of text where no attempt has been made to sharpen them...........which is something that NEVER happens on mine, as that part takes by the longest for me as I painstakingly re-colour and bold every single letter of the tiny text on the back, making sure they are are solid, clear and bold without flicks, scratches, marks or random dots on them like these two have. Again, sorry for the essay here..........just really trying to understand where I am going wrong, and so where I need to redouble my efforts, as well as seeing how the two below made the grade when in my mind and eye, they at the very least appear less clear, less clean than the majority of the ones I have made for Banisher. Many thanks again for your feedback, really hope I can get them to the standard you are looking for so I can fully contribute to the community here.......which is all I wanted to achieve. http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=953 - Magical Quest http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=2844 - Illusions of Gaia |
