OK, so I'm going to point out to you your flaws that need some work, rather than praising the crap out of you for a first box. Ready? The shading under your characters doesn't fit. It looks like you just made a selection of each character, filled them with black, and then flipped them and gave them a bit of blur. It doesn't work, they don't look like shadows, the lighting is wrong. First of all, the light source in the image is coming from in front of the characters, so your shadows should be behind. Second of all, you can't just flip it and expect it to be a shadow, you have to edit it, skew it, make it look more like it's ON the ground, not floating on top of it. As for your back, you have far too much text. Far too much. And as such, your font size is too small, and being in All-Caps makes it look odd. Might want to consider a different font choice. Your screenshots should be much bigger, and overall you just need more STUFF... it's completely empty, and your shadow on the Sonic guy is far too dark.
