I can't seem to get the images for half of the faces on the front ... might be better to just go with Goku Bulma and Master Roshi for now.
Atleast the cover now looks pretty good i think. Thanks again for the feedback and the Nintendo seal, but i think i will stick with this for now.

Yes looks very good.

Hopefully you eventually find the missing faces.

Anyway enjoy your custom title.

Upload as the next cover in alphabetical order.

But don't be discouraged if it is not added as the cover is not quite finished and it highly likely will not yet pass the super strict quality check.
And the waiting time is looooooooooong and it is not told if the cover is rejected.

The 3 main issues with the cover are:

- The things surrounding the front image are not solid = easy fix with magic tool.
- The upper left corner of the front image = Very hard fix without new source material.
- The left side of the front image is partially out of focus = near impossible fix without new source material.

Or upload as "Dragon Power" since that's what it was released as in the west.

I didn't think mine was all that bad to be honest, considering I have to make it like 400% smaller anyway ... but i have to say that yours is a lot better yeah.
And yours got that ring around and the TM trademark logo. Thanks ^.^

Didn't mean to be rude, was just being honest.

And here are some tips if you do a rebuild of something:
  • Put the original image as the background and lock the layer
  • Edit your image at 50% transparency (or whatever you're comfortable with), so you can see the background layer
  • If the image has lots of solid colors, consider using vectors
  • If you don't know what font is used, try using WhatTheFont or Identifont. They help a lot.

Anyway, pretty decent cover. Hope to see more.

Wow i didn't even notice that to be honest. The dragon is missing a bit in the top left, i see it now! :(

I thought i wasn't released in the US at all, didn't even knew it WAS released, but a year later and under a different name alltogether! My mind is blown lol! :)

I figured that maybe the label on the cart could be usefull, but the scan looks pretty bad when zoomed in ... even worse than the pic that i used for the front of the cover :S
Guess i can use some vector shapes for the little squares and the top/bottom of the front image. But the loss of focus on the left is a whole nother problem :S
Although i might be able to fix the dragon (top left corner).

The front of that box is actually in really good shape.

Only recoloring of some larger one color areas is needed = simple task with magic tool.

You're welcome  ;). You did good on it initially I just adjusted here and there. The logo you had on there was a bit uneven so I swapped it for the original one ran through a vector program. Even played the game to get those screen shots. Not a bad game I must say!
