to cover makers: where do you get your art?
the7k:
I have quite a few art books that I scan and use. For example, my most recent Real Bout Fatal Fury and Real Bout Fatal Fury Special covers came from Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's Der Mond. The image of Mai I used for the back of RBFF came from the doujin "Fool's Art Gallery - Beautiful Illusion 2" (Got it from Fakku) and the image of Blue Mary on the back of RBFFS came from http://fkcsantaclaus.deviantart.com/. The screenshots usually come from mobygames, as they tend to have high quality screenshots. The cover I made for "Neon Genesis Evangelion: Eva to Yukai na Nakamatachi" uses the original cover for the front but the rear image comes from minitokyo, which apparently came from a doujin.
The point is, cover art can come from all over.
