This will be my official thread for WIPs from now on. OK I admit, this box looks awful. Espcially from a good game that I have. I tried to fit every character on the box and obviously I failed. Can you give me an idea of how to make it look good? I also made Sonic The Hedgehog 4. I know it will only be on Xbox LIVE but I made it on the Playstation Network.
The Smash Bros one looks cluttered, and the Sonic 4 one looks too bland. On the bright side you have some nice pictures of all the characters and the backgrounds are ok.
My advice for the smash bros one would be to have lesser known characters in the background and keep them small, then as it gets nearer the foreground have morw important/well known characters and make them bigger.
As for Sonic, give it a focal point. At the minute you have a nice picture of one of the levels, and the characters just kinda happen to be there. I'd say make Sonic the main focal point and dot a couple of other characters behind him.
Hope this has helped or at least given you some ideas to try.
sonic hydra: Great advice for both boxes dude. Thanks! niosonic: I didn't know it was going to be on those systems. Spiner: I make these for fun and post them here to see if I did all right or not. This is the Sonic The Hedgehog box I submited and you may have seen this before. Here is what people said: take off sonic team,move sega logo and make it bigger, and change the background; the render is kind of floating, and get another render that looks like they're running. Here are more boxes.
