Lil' bro's sonic 4 box

[Mtp]

Hey, my lil bro really wanted to try out the whole box art thing, and wants some help with his sonic 4 box. Any ideas?

[Mtp]

Ah, the ol' "it's my brother's box" trick.

No really, I know I suck, but I don't suck THAT much...

Yes, I'm going to be exiting this new adventure.

I'm just going to say, this site is 13+ for a reason.

Um... My lil bro is 13.

I liked the halftone background '-'

I would give the front a ground for the characters to stand on so they don't appear floating. And I would use a more interesting but still legible font on the back.

And if your brother is 13 and enjoys creating boxart you should have him create his own account.

Wow your brother makes boxart? You must be proud.

[Higashi89]

You and your brother should join forces and become the Super Mario Brothers of VGBOXART

Most 13 year olds know proper grammar ._.

Naw man, they're just exiting the new adventure. That's what all the imaginary hipster 13 year old kids that have no artistic ability and have older brothers that make boxart do.

TheNiceGuy, Hagashi, and Ronthis: Could you all be more constructive in your box criticism instead of user criticism? Everyone has to start somewhere, and comments like that surely won't help.

As for the box itself, if he is indeed 13 I would recommend him to definitely make his own account. The front has a good foundation, and the halftone isn't bad, but you could do a better job of representing the game by using environments. Having the characters floating is also something you want to keep from doing, as it makes the design look much less professional. As for the back, I would say ditch the angled screenshots and text and go for a more streamlined and clean look. Again, using some in-game assets or other game images could help.

[Higashi89]

I was just saying you and your brother should work together from now own, making new boxes, like teamwork or something.

And I still think your bro's idea of using a halftone background was a good thing, it's not a plain background for beginning with. The presentation is going fine, I just would change the renders from the front to not give the idea of them being "floating in the air". Also, just leave Sonic, because Tails and Knuckles are not in the game.

The back is ok, with oversized screenshots.
