That's the thing -- this thread is for custom covers. If, as the cover artist, you deem it to be a cover and that's what you intend the piece for, so be it, great, thanks for the contribution. I don't think we ever set any particular guidelines -- they just kind of evolve as people up the bar in certain areas.

If you don't see the cover you want in a style you like either (1) make it yourself or (2) request it and one of the nice artists who contribute to this thread may make it for you. (Example: your awesome Queen Singstar cover--Nice job, Ricky_R!
