His visor should not be reflecting what's behind him. Ever.
You're so fired.
Yeah I was just gonna say that.
my thoughts exactly, too.
I'm trying to make the cover look epic, not make sense.
I was going to leave this alone, but your response irritates the hell out of me.
I'm speaking as someone who works for Bungie. Someone who has helped in the creation of box art before.
If you were being paid to do graphic design, and you submitted that cover to us, you'd be turned back.
And if you tried to explain that you're trying to make the cover "look epic, not make sense," you'd be fired.
You can make a piece look "epic," without disregarding continuity. You disregarded continuity twice; on the back of the box as well as the front. You didn't even manage to obscure the artifact on the back of the box, so it appears he's looking at a completely different artifact adjacent to the one that's behind him. Say what you like, your discontinuity is the result of low standards and a lack of attention, not "artistic license."
Further, your copy on the back of the box has multiple hyphenated words and a widow. You'd be sent back to the drawing board for that, as well.
I would have accepted "There are only limited assets available to work with, I had no choice" as an explaination for why you didn't use a better asset. Trying to imply that you would intentionally ignore continuity because "you're an artist" is asking for trouble, and admitting you don't know what you're doing.
Out of all posts i appreciate this one the most. I did not mean to show an impression of lazyness. so in this case i'll go back to the drawing board and make a new one as well as try to make it 10x's better, expect another post in 2 days. Thank you for the motivational critisism. I hope to one day be in those offices too, Shishka.
