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.

Back pictures are pretty rough. "Genesis" logo is pixilated with moire effect. It looks like only the Genesis part is from and image but the Sega part was remade. Did you cut out the word genesis and replace it over-top of an already remade logo? The front artwork itself doesn't look too sharp but I don't know what the original insert looked like for reference.

Guess it would work

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.

Eh, a somewhat effective method, though searching Jordan Vs. Bird brought up reply to it, not the original post. So in cases, it may not word depending on the reply.
I say having a topic with a list of all your covers is more effective, anyone who wants a cover 3DS I made, can find it by the big list in m thread.
This does not help if the link is dead.
BTW, the Mario cover, It would be easier to do it my way:
I think the ball should overlap the bottom bar if you go that route.

I'll download your cover tomorrow and compare which style I prefer. :-\

OK, If you prefer yours, You can always use the back of my cover.
Looking at my cover, I think I might want to tone down the saturation on the front.
