::another link::
Of course there is no obligation to use it - while majority of covers are based on this template, it does not mean new ones have to as well. All covers are welcome. ;)

Thanks Thiev, the link works great, I will go back and redo these if I have time, I prefer to use the standard format as well. . . =^ )
I will go ahead and post BloodRayne 2 since it is similar to the other two I finished. Just noticed the cover post and wanted to contribute if possible, the 500k size limit is sorta small . . . =^ )

One technical note though: next time upload your covers to some external site and then post links.

The cubeupload site seems to be acceptable.

Seems the greatest obstacle to creating these covers is finding quality images, did the best I could with what I could find . . . =^ )
Started to make a Gorky 17 cover with what appeared to be the Russian language ??? but wasn't sure of the language or what it actually said so . . .
Thiev: One technical note though: next time upload your covers to some external site and then post links.
Took your advice, I also updated Sanitarium, BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2 spine font in the links above to match the template. Also tweaked BloodRayne 2 back cover for a little depth. Let me know if any of these covers are unacceptable, I will edit and delete the link, thanks.

Wow, thank you for that! I appreciate your efforts. See my list of missing covers for the remaining ones!
You've created a lot of them - shame I couldn't do it myself, just too much work on my arms.

Thanks for the feedback, if any of the covers I create are substandard let me know and I will delete my links, just trying to contribute . . . no ego attached . . . =^ )
I was using your list as a reference. I simply can't find images for some, others like Creatures, I found but the quality is either low or the image just not the same as the original, made two creatures but . . . just look too sinister for the game.
I am amazed that I couldn't find any good quality Myst (cover) images ????
Edit: Feel free to edit and re-post any covers I upload . . . I have no problems with that . . . =^ )

Edit: and for Creatures: Exodus as well, but I think I will go for some Creatures' 'combo pack' cover instead.
NICE ! Where do you get those great images . . . or better yet what software are you using to clean them up?? Excellent image work . . .

Thanks but I see mostly their flaws :D For Exodus I had to use this one and it shows. Myst is so oversaturated it hurts my eyes and when toned down it's too bleak ;)
I use either PS or GIMP - and some luck when looking for images ;)

MUCH better image than I found. That saturation will be about right when put to paper, besides, we want our game covers to glow . . . =^ ) I find myself in PS 7 most of the time, CS3 on occasion.
