Honestly....that is pretty terrible =S

At the front, the render of Snake does not fit at all. However, I like the the image that is behind the render.

For the back, the tagline should not have that font, as it would remind people of the first MGS game, which had a different art style, from what I know (I could be wrong). It would've been nice if the screenshots had some border or something.

Well yeah.
Here's my MGS4 box. as my dear friend Jasper told me,this game is Snake's last one, meaning kojima wanted to portray his vulnerability.. and that was exactly what i wanted to portray, both front and back.

Major thanks to Ervo for supplying me with art and logo, and credit to...adfd??? for template ^^"

Now, let me introduce you to my MGS 4 box ^^

I agree with Daniel that it's not very good. I feel I must say that it doesn't seem as though you're spending as much time with your recent stuff. Maybe you should take a break until you get better ideas. You're one of my fav artists but you don't have to churn out so many boxes, as you recently have. I did like your TWEWY and BOP ones.

The tagline doesn't suit the game either, Snake really isn't doing it for honor and I suggest you try and paragraph the text, the template looks outdated too.

I agree with E_G. It's still pretty good though. Just fix those flaws.

That is my template but I may update it soon because it's not as good as my others. This isn't too bad I kinda like it, not your best though :)

I think alot of comments here are pretty harsh. This box may not be his best but its certainly not "terrible" at all. I bet if a newbie posted this as a first box there would be comments like "Omg brilliant for a first! We have a new Ladykiller!" and the box would end up getting in HoF or something.
I think people are criticizing this box unfairly just because they have higher expectations from a Rank 9 member.

Ok.
Well, first of all, thanks for the C&C. honestly.
However, some of you guys are being pretty strict, it's not as if im saying it's the best box ever, am i?
Ok. i might not be as good as LK,DMS,ELC,Ervo etc. but that doesn't mean my rank 9 portrays perfection,now does it?
I myself have stated earlier that rank 9 is nowhere near what i deserve, and i have thought about taking a break. It's just that whenever i try to make a box im excited for [ twewy, BOP, MGS4 ] i love the art, and try to portray something.
Also, i've been very experimental lately, and i've been trying to look outside of the box.
Apparantly, this does not suit this site, and thus, i will stop my experimental stage and just move on with making boxes i used to make. Same ol', same ol'.



I'll make an update tonight, and i hope you guys return for it, as i will seriously wager your reactions.

-Ayron

I actually love the front, not so much the back. But I'll favorite it for the front. :]

I think you could of used a better temp cause it doesnt look right. And as for the rest of it, it doesnt really look right. I mean your a level 9 man this looks like a rookies work. Your a great artist man but it doesnt looks like your using your great talent on this box man. I know your better than this man.

i'm really sorry, but... i think it's bad. the colour scheme doesn't work well (b&w snake on orange/red background) and the text on the back looks quite frankly HORRIBLE. it's too tall, small and difficult to read... the screenshots look blandly placed and uninteresting, there's nothing above the M rating on the back (dev logo, engine logo, etc.) and the whole thing is just nasty on the eyes. i'm sorry, but this is far below your standard. i'm very dissapointed to see your talent get thrown around like this, i wish you'd put more thought into your more recent designs. they look quite half-assed if you ask me.

Hey, I like experiments.
The front is very eye-catching, but there are a few hard edge glows that it could do without.
As for the back, well... I can't say it looks very experimental... it's a bit plain. The screenshots, text, and tagline are average-looking, which contradicts your whole "experimental" effort.
Good try, though.

Sorry for being too harsh, but it's just thats how I feel. I typed so many critiques not because you're a Rank 9-er, it's because you've already set a high standard for yourself. You have done excellent boxes in the past, which is why we always look forward to your boxes, but this was a letdown.

I like the front, but the back could be a bit better :) I'm looking forward to seeing the updated version :)

I really like it, but I do agree with them up there. Youve sort of been going downhill latley, like in a slump. (like me). It's still great though. +fAV
