The paint splatters are part of the template I acquired. I reposition and colourize them based on the player image, sometimes even warping the shapes to create a nice contour to the players shape.
If those who may be interested in creating their own covers here and the links to download the templates. Please not that I was not the original creator of the template, it was passed onto me from another source. That being said I have made certain modifications including making a PS3 version and making changing colours of the paint splatters more streamlined.
If you're wondering why there are "small" versions for each the answer is that the original template is huge and is really only practical for professional prints, it's also incredibly difficult to find images with a high enough quality to make at that scale, so far I've only had 3 or 4 I could do at the original size. Therefore I took the original and scaled it down by 50% and it has worked wonders and will still look good on a print.
If anyone has any troubles, questions, in need of tips don't hesitate to PM me. I may also drop my entire player cut library on Dropbox to be available for download (if it'll fit
)

In the spirit of keeping this thread focused on the game I'll create a new thread in the images forum where I'll post all current and any new covers.
