Game cover critique and possible upload
DEL 707:
I'm not sure if I should be asking this here or the artists corner.
I've wasted most of my weekend looking at a picture in Photoshop and crying. Having never used it before or any kind of picture editing software, it's been a bit of a learning curve.
I needed a Lemmings cover for my Snes cart, couldn't see one uploaded, so I figured I'd have a go at making one, a decision I immediately regretted.
And here's a link to the full picture.

I had a hell of a lot of fun removing the Sunsoft and Pysgnosis logo's, down on the cliff face., would have left them there, but they were getting cut off. So I spent a good hour last night (and several cans of Fosters) using the clone stamp tool getting rid of them. Again, no idea what I was doing, mainly guess work.
If I wanted to upload this for other people to use, are they any special safe options I need to do?
Title isn't in the centre, but if I move it anymore to the left, I'm gonna chop off part of the lead Lemmings hand.
The text on the left is a bit "flat", I'm not sure what to do about that.

There's a few versions of this cover on the cover project:

Your effort is not too shabby. Publisher Info and logos are wrong but it's a good effort.

Well, could have done with that 48 hours ago.
Why aren't they up in the download section?

I would say that 99% of all covers have been done and are on the forums. So, just do a forum search. If you can't find it, post a request. The site is based on volunteer work. There's only a handful of members who can post covers onto the downloadable section. Either a cover doesn't meet site standards or it's just waiting for approval. Some covers slip under the cracks.

When searching in the forums, "advanced search" is your friend. It also helps to use quotes (" ") with your search just in case the game title has common words found in other games.
