This one took awhile. First attempt at a back, first attempt at a slip cover. It actually began with the slip cover. I felt like inking some rough concept art for the game and ended up with what I thought was a pretty good looking sword. The way I envision it would be to have this light cardboard outer sleeve with a sligh emboss on the spine text and the sword on the front. The back of the sleeve would have the original uncolored concept art.

As for the box itself, most of the work went into the back. And yes, believe it or not, it only says 'Trophies' on the official back. Hopefully they'll add something else.

Front template is my own, back template is by ScorpionSoldier though I re-did the PlayStation Network logo and top bar gradient. Spine is also from ScorpionSoldier with a redone gradient. Used Sens' 3D template.

And no, I didn't change the legal info because I don't have that particular form of Helvetica. But it's really just the first paragraph that doesn't match. The last two usually read the same on all boxes. I also didn't bother to change other text for which I didn't have the font--including the misspelling of 'Definition' (ScorpionSoldier--you should fix that) and some minor things like the fact that Darksiders only requires 31MB of free HDD space.

Nice, except how "trophies" is just floating all uncentered.

Looks really good but I think under the text should have 2 or 3 side by side screen shots that flow across from end to under the character. I would fav it, but I would like to see more creativity on the front. I like the cover with the sword, its simple but effective.

Looks great.
#1, don't worry i already updated it to say Definition, btw the official spine part with the PS3 logo is black, it doesn't have a gradient, just a heads up ;)

Pretty damn awesome, it'd be better with screens though.

This is amazing, do you have a printable for it? I'd love to use it when it comes out, I hate the official box art for this game.

I must not have been paying good enough attention when I first saw this. This is excellent, it deserves more attention.
