Personally i'd just extend the top of the wall and the wall/floor to the right of mario. Wouldn't need much be it would be enough to make it the right aspect ratio young padawan. ;)
Or extending the bookshelf would still be easier than rebuilding the clock and hat.

Well it will not look as good as what I had visioned in my head, but should still be OK.
I'll do quick mock up to see would it lookk decent.
Polygon:
Could someone tell me what's wrong with the following cover. I submitted it a while back but it was never approved. I asked back then for some opinions but nobody ever gave me any input. I rarely ever have one get on and I don't even know what I'm doing right or wrong. I thought this one was pretty good and we don't have it on the site either.

Be careful what you promise ;D
Here is one simple one:
Mario Early Years
Please boost the colors, remove scratches and separate the main title (rebuild the hat and clock).
I also need the main title cleaned as well as the MEY a LS thingie in separate PSD files with emptyed back ( so I can overlay to the cover in good spot)
Thank you

I already made a cover for that one. It could probably use some more cleaning, but it is already in a vertical template.
One problem with the covers being in the forums is download links can die, and covers can go missing, like the Yoshi Story N64 vertical.
I think there should be a section separate from the cover section for Placeholder, like the RAW section, just so covers are not lost, some covers can't be made right the first time due to lack of scans, like my Pocket Bomberman cover, I retyped the back, and tried to touch up the front as much as posable, but it still could be better. I think it should just be reserved for covers with no HQ scans available, and they should still have standards, no Moby Games logos or anything, retyped backs, relapse ESRBs and Seals an such. if there are good scans, and the cover is not up to standards, fix it and post it in the normal archive.

Back on the "placeholder" idea, my recent "Jordan vs. Bird - One On One" cover is the perfect description of placeholder: EVERYTHING was re-done except the raster image of Jordan and Bird on the front because I lack scans. I put 2-3 hours to that thing, so "lazy" is not an accurate description.
Anyway, what I love the most about TCP is raw scans sharing, that way I don't have to deal with "lazy people" not doing the full job.
Ohhh, and don't forget to...:
