Hey guys this is my first official cover here, please let me know what you think.

I'm on a mac and really don't feel like booting up XP to make a 3d preview, sorry.

Anyway, here it is.  Thanks guys!

Yes finally! This means I don't need to scan in CB1's cover now too :P Front looks perfect, I only wonder why you used the alternate cover instead of the one where it looks like he's breaking through something, but the important thing is that it looks good. :D

The logo on the spine (the one that's like the one on the front) could be centered and you could get rid of the white text, or you could just make the white text look a little less squished.

The only problem I really see with the back is the legal section. That just requires someone with really good photoshop skill to take all the legal stuff from the back scan and pull it down to the black space at the bottom without ruining the image. Matter of fact, the inlay to this game has screenshots and could also be used as the back if removing all the legal stuff from the current one becomes too hard.

you're a genius sir!!!

I wasn't sure on what to do for the spine, I think I'll just remove the white text, thanks for the tip on the legal stuff, I'll whip that up right now.

I used that cover just because it was a decent quality Raw, I've been working on some Ninja Turtle covers waiting for a reply lol. 

All of them are the British versions that say "teenage mutant hero turtles" so I'm changing hero to Ninja and upload my versions. 

I'll look for the inlays in the raw scans.

Thanks for the tip!

No prob, after drawing so much I'm in super-critique mode :D

yeah the inlay's in the cover section, I was just happy to see someone found a good raw of the front cover. Now I don't have to worry about finding someone to scan mine in :D (save the .psd, I might do an alt at one point if I ever do get to scanning)

hah, you just made me a very happy person, now someone needs to post CB2/3/CTR and I'll be ever so much closer to getting all the dvd covers I need for my psone games. :D

Thankfully all the scans you need for the series are on the site already :D I suggest taking the CTR logo from the custom DVD cover that's already on the site, seeing as the actual cover was holographic. I'm actually surprised to see covers/backs/inlays for all of these games. Since they've been uploaded to the site already, I'm pretty sure they've met quality standards.

I've never uploaded a cover, how long does it usually take to get processed?

Looking good! Think the barcode and rating on the back are also in the legal section, but good idea with throwing the extra screenshots at the bottom instead of having to retype the info over the inlay cover.

From what I hear, it takes quite a long time for covers to be processed. You could post a link to the cover on mediafire or something in the meantime if you want it to be acessable right away.

looks really nice - would you be able to move the text slightly to the right on the back - it's a little close to the edge.  also......any chance of a PAL version?  ;D
