Uploaded covers, but not showing?

We get hundreds of cover submission monthly.  I don't usually go over the issues with every cover. Ripto's rage is skewed. Taking an image and stretching it is a big no no. Plus, there's issues with the spine and front cover. There's an odd gray line that separates them; in addition to a drop shadow around the front cover. The scans are somewhat blurry.

Part of being a cover artist is to figure out how to design these covers without skewing the artwork and make them look authentic. It's tricky because almost all Playstation covers where designed for a cd case, not a DVD case.

Thanks again for the reply, I know you don't have time to reply to a lot of basic questions and submissions like this.

I'm not a PS/GIMP expert, but the ones I submitted work for me. Hopefully someone can make them legit and upload them. I'm surprised it hasn't already been done...

If your covers are not up to site standards, you can still share them on the boards.  This would be a good place for PS1 DVD covers.

They've been attempted before. The cover just didn't meet site standards. I did a quick search and found one of them. The other was posted before but the link was dead.

If I may, I submitted a cleaned up cover of NES baseball to replace the horrible one that's currently available.  (check it out, it's really bad) Any particular reason it was not added?
