My longest project yet in terms of time and effort. Yet another shift in my style as I'm really digging the "Oriental" style since my previous Okami box, I felt that this was a nice way of continuing that style while at the same time, going for something different. My first design in an xbox temp and credit to ELCrazy for the awesome temp. Additional credit also goes to MARKER for advice on font choice and Star89er for a great logo render. Thanks guys!
Much time and care was taken especially in the front. Every discernable piece of graphic element is its own separate layer. I wanted to portray that majestic Ancient China feel to it and I think I got what I was going for in the end. :) About the same amount of effort was put in the back as well, seen in the screenshots and an emphasis on the color "red" in the torn curtain as the prevalent Chinese color. Much work was put in the canvas background as well to compliment the box itself. All in all, I'm very happy how it turned out as this is also my last box till Spring Break. Best viewed in full, enjoy and cheers!

P.S. If anyone's interested, I organized the layers on this one for a soon to be available .psd learner. :)
@Ninja, they should be the right size from the original...though I did decrease them by a very very tiny bit. :D
*DING DING DING!*
You hit the jackpot again.
I love how all the graphics blend perfectly together in such a professional-looking way.
..and the style is great for the game.
..and I can see the thought put into typography.
I think we should give super duper hard criticism on every aspect of your boxes, then give your own grading scale based on your previous boxes..... just because I'm jealous ;D
WOW... THIS BOX REALLY IS A WORK OF ART, IM GLAD I CAME BACK TO VG BOX ART, YOU ARE ONE OF MY INSPIRATIONS AND IT TAKES A LOT TO INSPIRE ME,LOL GREAT JOB, HOPE TO HEAR SOME FEED BACK FROM YOU =)
woah, really good box, love it
