So... I'm pretty sure nobody expected me to post a box today! First one in years - but I figure that's exactly what KICKSTART 2016 is about so I might as well get involved!
This one was a Work in Progress for a little while - and then I randomly stopped but I really wanted to spur on and finish it for the event. It's a combination of custom art and official art - oh, and that main image of the protagonists is by my homie Sean Hicks! He's absolutely incredible, check out his page here: link
And yeah, I suppose that's all there is to it. It's good to be back, VGBOXART! I present to you, my favourite game of all time, Banjo-Kazooie! Hope I did it justice! :)

Banjo-Kazooie Box Cover Comments
Comment on tmrd's Banjo-Kazooie Box Art / Cover.
I like this quite a lot, but the back is quite empty... There is too much empty sky, I think this could be filled more with the tag line.
Im also not a fan of that white bar at the bottom of the back, seems very out of place. Apart from that, well done and welcome back.

Sweet - thanks for the feedback man! It's definitely been a while so I'm trying to hone my skills again. I'll see what I can do :)

Yay! You're back! Great job, Tim, I really like this one, it captures the feel of the game very well, and even though I agree with Vince about the white stripe on the back, the rest of it looks great! :D

Thanks man! I'll see what I can come up with in regards to that stripe :)

This looks soooo good! I love the front especially, the art is spot on. The back seems a little scarce, though I understand since it's your general style. Great job, glad to see you making more boxes! :)

Thanks man! Was a good challenge getting back into all this stuff :) A lot of people have said that it looks scarce - guess I'm not as good at making that balance as I used to be! Guess it'll come with practice. :P

I feel like Banjo stands out a bit too much from the environment. Like he seems more detailed than the landscape.
I also agree with Vince on his sentiments on the back.
However, this still looks amazing, and it's good to see you making box art again.

Yeah - unfortunately I wasn't quite good enough to make the banjo render from scratch, I guess you could say I lost my practice! Probably why it looks a bit out of place then. :P I'll see what I can do to fix it up, but honestly my best bet would just be to get my skills back haha
Thankyou so much by the way - it's good to be back!
