Just downloaded it and had a look. Great work, that is an extremely high quality cover.

The front image is a little over exposed for my taste but that is just personal preference.

I did not understand what he said on the front ..

I think he means that the brightness setting is bit too high.


not changed it .. this as the original cover scanned ..

* Gave up trying to understand why the covers that do not appear on the site .. and others made ​​a few days already appear on the site .. then decided I'm not going to post more covers here until those that did appear on the site .. for those who enjoy the arts I have done and want to follow my work:

How are you trying to post them to the site?
The upload bottom in the corner takes forever.
Try contacting a Cover Admin through PM, it might speed things up. That's how some of my 3DS covers finally got up.
I'm a Cover Guru and I only have a small portion of my 400 or so covers in the archives, most uploaded just recently.
Just keep up a master list or something Like Mine so all your covers are easy to find when searched for.

Looking good so far on the WIP.

tired of reading to be patient ..

the way that any artist is expected recognition of his art and his work .. I have been working for a long time contributing daily to perfection and improvement and not feel recognized .. not want to believe that the site is being badly managed and this is a mess .. so it will not contribute to it more up to recognize my art .. until that happens so mensgens post here .. My covers keep doing in the same way but only that post on my wall on site deviart ..

Don't recommend you to stop posting, here you have opinions of different people, admins, gurus that can help the covers to be better or even if there is something you don't have some one here can give it to you easily.

Do as Larryinc64 said, contact an admin via PM, maybe that way should be more easy to upload you covers  ;)

But don't stop posting is better for the covers to have opinions of different people

Patience is a virtue; pride, an abomination.  It's understandable you want your work to be recognised, but do evaluate your true motives for what you are doing and ask yourself whether its importance is in any way diminished by not having your forum username listed next to a file in some database in some corner of the internet.

Patience and being humble is the key. You clearly don't understand that we are doing this here not for you alone. It can take months for covers to appear on the site if they pass quality control. By the way if you would have uploaded any on our server i would have checked them in my last holiday. You did not so none were checked!

I only check covers which are uploaded to our server!!!!!!! How often do I have to repeat this?

I'm not someone that the Cover Admins find favorable as I've complained about the approval process over and over. However, it's my opinion that the cover project receives a high volume of quality covers mixed with covers that don't meet site standards. So, Cover Admins have to shift through thousands of submissions. I know that they are backlogged by about a years worth of submissions. Cover Admins volunteer their time. A few months back, new cover admins were added. I don't think the process of making them full cover admins is done yet. Don't be surprised if other covers are being approved first as they were probably submitted before you joined the cover project.

There is no glory or recognition in making covers. You might spend 8 hours making a cover and never get a single piece of feedback (Good or Bad) or even a thank you. The reward is that someone made a cool cover that you downloaded (most people probably have no clue who made their covers), in return you give back to the community. 1980coelho, you do good work.  I'd like to encourage you to Keep it up! Your covers will eventually make it to the main site. Ten years from now, when your covers has been downloaded 1000 times, you can tell yourself... Yeah, I did that!

That's not the idea of this, i still recomend you to get in contact with one of the admins via PM or an admin contact coelho and explain him how to upload the covers for you (admins) to check them, from what i see he dosn't know where is the link to upload the covers, Tiktektak has being trying to tell him, maybe coelho thinks the way for the covers to be checked and uploaded is via post and it's not.

There's a link to the left side bar where is the Home, Forums, guides links, under those links is the "Upload a cover" link there's where you have to go if you want your cover to be checked and uploaded to TCP :P .

Correct me if i'm wrong

You shouldn't compare that craptastic site to our preservation project. ::)

There's 80% rubbish on there. We work slow but because of that we only have quality stuff on our site and the best thing is as our requirements are getting higher and higher we will always be ahead of anyone else. Maybe not in quantity but in quality!

I mean come on that other site is really hilarious. Battlefield 4 for Mega Drive? Useless. I also believe they have no quality control whatsoever.

By the way. If you moved on what are you still doing here? Didn't manage to close your account? I can do that for you no problem if you'd like?

I think the quality is a + on TCP that's why i like it. Now that some person come and start making excellent covers (one of them is Coelho) don't think we should recomend them to leve to other page where there is no quality control just because there is more feedbacks.

Admired works from some of you guys, like retail (100%) like coelho and others are doing, don't like so much customs and vertical covers but still think that those are excellent works too and it takes a hard effort to make a custom cover..

So coelho, you are getting your recognition from some of us that are following your work and feedbacking them, admins are also looking at your work and i know that they also think that are excellent. The only thing that is stopping you to have your covers uploaded in TCP (not in the forum as a post, because they are right now on TCP but as a post) is the "upload a cover" link, that you say it doesn't work, so again get in contact with one of the admins and try to find the way to upload them via the upload link and them cheking if it works or maybe via one admin that can help you upload them. That's only an idea  :P

But don't stop posting and don't go to other page, that will be an error if you do that.
