I have a 90% finished Rockman X2 custom cover, lovingly made by me from some pretty bad looking retail scans. I've put in about 20 hours of work so far, because although I am a novice image editor, I am also a perfectionist.  :)

the remaining work is beyond my skill, but I believe it will be very simple for someone that actually knows their way around image editing. The top on the back around 'Rockman X' needs to be blacked out. please eliminate the letters' shadows where the black will be. there is a line in place where the black should stop about halfway down the right side of the X.
The front only needs 2 creases fixed at the lower left and right corners. I fixed other creases but again these 2 are beyond my skill
Tspine needs a '2' added of an appropriately matching font (stole the spine text and general template from a custom rockman x1 cover)

I believe this is less than 30 minutes of work for someone skilled at image editing. I started this cover for the community since there isnt a custom X2 cover out there. I really hope someone can finish it.

And thanks!!   ;D

Yes, in the preview the format is jpg and looks like crap

the png is 7"x11" (EDIT: @96 DPI  :-[, will upload full size imgs tomorrow for touch up and re-composition), I have larger versions of the front and back panel and the template but I figured I should just upload the final size with so little left to do.

If anyone wants the full size images i will upload them tomorrow.

Here are the larger-res Files I have.
Back only PDN: http://www.filedropper.com/rmanx2back2
Back only PNG: http://www.filedropper.com/rmanx2back3

the front is already the same resolution and is barely reduced from the original size (biggest box scans i could find) anyway. so I'll be printing this at the resolution of my original png file upload, but wanted to include these in case anyone prefers, and I will add it back to the final composition.

thanks again,
Steve

the resolution is too low to be worth the effort, and you'd need to lift the logo from the front to use on the back

It was made from the highest reolution retail scans available. and it actually looks pretty good printed out at 11x6.5...
i figured it would be better than the current nothing for this game but i guess I'll have to do it myself one pixel at a time

Links don't work for me either...

EDIT: If only I had knowledge and access to Japanese fonts... I gave it a try though, here's the result:
