  • ...and that's the bottom line
That KOF 2k cover is great. I love the artwork. Had it as a desktop wallpaper some time ago :) It really looks great in the all black version. Wil you do the others as well? KOF 2k2 has a butt ugly cover art for the DC version, the Neo Geo version is much better and would look awesome in the all black template.

Thanks! In my opinion, you'd really have to try hard to make Kula not look beautiful...

Now why would I do something silly like that?

The only reason I stopped making this series last night was because... it was 2 in the morning. I needed to get to sleep! =P

Hope someone else can use this - it was UBER hard to find images for the game. There is nothing for this game out there on the tubes - not even searching its Japanese name helped. Not even Pixiv helped.

I was just using the Neo Geo CD cover, with the Dreamcast template placed on top of it, for a long time. Now that I'm re-doing all my covers in black, it was about time to give it the proper treatment.

Yeah, that is a lot of Silk being shown off on the front cover... but she has always been the unintentional fan service character anyway.

You do realize kids see these covers too right?

Well, it's not like this is that much worse than some of the covers I seen. Take a look at the cover art for X-Blades.

Plus, there are a few covers here that are a lot more 'risky' than this, but I'm not going to point any fingers.

As the youngest member of TCP, I was not scarred by that cover. Lighten up shenske. A quick Google search with the right keywords would get images much worse than that.

Well, in the interest of appealing to everyone...

I didn't go with this image at first because - honestly - I don't think the art style goes with the series. The characters look far too angular and sharp in this pic. But, when it comes to the Cotton series, I don't have a whole lot of images to choose from.

Which is better? Scantily clad female pic #1 or #2? :)

While I do agree with you that anyone could easily find worse pictures online in a matter of seconds, It still doesn't make it appropriate.
Even though there is not a rule against it and its "not that bad" I will personally not be adding it to the site. Someone else is welcome to, its just not my cup of tea.

Its like when a parent comes into gamestop and gets her 7 year old GTAIV.  She is warned about the content in the game but disregards it because "there is worse stuff out there."  Doesn't add up to me.


Plus, there are a few covers here that are a lot more 'risky' than this, but I'm not going to point any fingers.

You Don't have to but I will.

I was opposed to this cover when it was first previewed on the forums but like i said there is no rule against it being hosted I just personally dont like the artistic direction it is going (my opinion).

@the7k
Please dont take this as criticism against your skills as an artist.  :)
The cover still took time to create and I'm sure everyone is very thankfull for that, I just happen to not agree with the chosen art.
