What I still need to look at is doing it so if an image is approved for 1 artist it adds it to the others automatically rather than manually uploading the same image for all 3, but at least you have something to work with until then.

Yes, it's right

With my example :
- Album : Velloso, Bethania, Gil (https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/2 ... 7ff4d27775)
- Artists : Caetano Veloso (https://musicbrainz.org/artist/f07dbc2f ... 1b0eb6faf1), Maria Bethânia (https://musicbrainz.org/artist/b3998c06 ... b83572ae7b) and Gilberto Gil (https://musicbrainz.org/artist/cf6b70f6 ... 63cabfc974)

Artist fanart.tv pages :
- Caetano Veloso : https://fanart.tv/artist/f07dbc2f-317b- ... o-caetano/
- Maria Bethânia : https://fanart.tv/artist/b3998c06-04e6- ... nia-maria/
- Gilberto Gil : https://fanart.tv/artist/cf6b70f6-2616- ... -gilberto/

In the upload album pop up of each artist, the album is available for all these artists and it is indicated that the album have one image. For the moment, the image of the album is only available on the Caetano Veloso page

Another case which might influence it. Had Graves at Sea / Sourvein added for Graves at Sea, Sourvein wasn't listed so I searched them a few times until they were fetched from musicbrainz, they have this EP entry listed when you try to upload albums for them but they're a no show for the cover up till now. Not sure if Split Releases must have both artists before you upload them to one to have an effect or if it adds the other just if you add the initial upload.

This is nice addition, however it doesn't appear to be working properly. I uploaded two covers for a split single "Bongripper/Conan", but I uploaded both under Bongripper because I didn't know about this change.

You can see them both on Bongripper's page.

If you go to Conan's artist page you can see that there are no artworks listed for album covers, but if you go to upload one it shows that two already exist for the split release. I think if we're going to show that covers already exist on the upload box then we ought to show the covers themselves.
