I took the temp from Ninja's box, so credit to whoever he got it from.

i like darthspazz's. i like the character renders and the gloominess and the box is also clean and smooth, although the logo has strange placement, but; i dont like RB's very much because the logos do not look right (even though they are like that on the official box) the main logo seems too big, and the characters seem meddled together in an odd way.

Darthspazz- your box has a great sytle for the RE series, and I love the simple Background, but the reflextion kills it for me. You should have "feathered" it out at the end. (photoshop term)

Radioactive Bob- your box is small, but has great detail in it. I love the position of the characters and even if the Rare logo is crap, due to it's small, it still has a retro look I like. Plus I love Banjo- Kazooie.

Radioactive Bob get my vote.

This is closer than I thought it would be. Darthspazz's uses artwork from the Gamecube and DS remakes, which doesn't go with the era in which that game was released. I'm not a fan of the blending either, the right zombie seems to be random, I would have stuck a tyrant there instead or Chris Redfield, and Jill isn't completely cut out, notice the white on her right hair?

The Dolby digital logo on Bob's should have a little less white space around it, and I think the "the bird & bear..." caption should be bigger with a small and inner drop shadow. The box could also do with an outline. They're both good but Bob's has less problems in my opinion especially because it has recreated the essence of the real box.

I vote for Bob.

RB gets my vote it looks a lot more official

[shadysaiyan]

darthspazz's box has some rendering problems under the girls right arm, her hair, the logo looks messed up in a way, i thin kmaybe you should have rendered the logo without the glow and add your own. also it kinda looks random if you look at the bg and then look at the renders.

RB's box looks like an official one, but i thinkn the logos on the bottom left are kinda small.

I Vote for Radioactive Bob

I vote for Bob.

All good points, but since the DS remake basically is the same game with the same characters, I'd thought I'd use that art. And Jill is cut out, the white is supposed to be there.

The box could also do with an outline.

Are you saying it should look like the image is inside a full template, like Crayon Man's 360 templates, compared to the old-fashioned bar that just went at the top?

[Dark_Shadow]

Darthspazz I like your box but your reflection is not really good so you had get a 4.5/5

RB you have a really nice box but don't have a reflection who could lower your marks so had get a 5/5

so my vot is for RadioactiveBob

What does a reflection have to do with anything? Plenty of good boxes don't have reflections. It wasn't a requirement, nor is it necessary for boxes to be graded solely on that.

Old fashion bar what? If you're trying to imply that because Nintendo 64 cases are made out of cardboard it'd be stupid if this had a plastic outline, you're right, I forgot, though my other criticisms were still founded.

[KILLERMIKE]

darthspazz becuase it captures the feel.

[Dark_Shadow]

it's because his reflection is too big and capture too much the attention if he had not put a reflection I was going to don't vote
That's why

[Ratchetcomand]

I like darthspazz box because it more cooler looking then bob box .

[Darthspazz]

I used the official logo from the official box on wikipedia, and I took the girl from a wallpaper, and she IS PERFECTLY CUT OUT! Its only the art style that makes it look cheesy. When I submit the box to the main page I'll fix the hair. NOW HURRY UP AND VOTE!

The suspense is killing me:P

BTW, if you don't like the reflection, please tell me how to make a good one so I can improve. As for this comp, look at the box instead

I was never disagreeing. I just didn't understand what you meant by an "outline" around the box.

[Ninjamojo27]

RB: His is vibrantly colored and the box in general looks like an official one.
Darth: His is good but the logo is a tad to small and that is what killed me on it.
My vote:RB

[KoopaDasher]

Sorry Darthspazz, but Bob takes the cake on this one. I have yet to fifure out how he made a pic of the frist level as his background. It looks nice, polished, and official. Yours just seems....rushed Darthspazz. My vote goes to:

Bob

[Radioactive Bob]

Good job Darthspazz.
Best of luck in the Comeback Champion rounds.
