Update time.
I haven't see Ctaulbee suggestion. So, i allready tried different texture.
Sorry Sauron but i don't undersatnd your idea of lighter shade on legal area. Is it a light colour but not brown? So that way be different. What you suggest?

Made SF box with texture, fix the both gaps, had some clouds and another character, to see if the perspective works.
Finish the legal area (not the backgroud :( cas it's been a pain).

I'd try to do the SFs with a black background as ctaulbee has suggested. It then fits the black bottom area of you front. 😉

The right character needs some adjustments to make him look similar to the left. Some more contrast and some curves should help.

Because of the lights I'd move the left one into the background and let the right one stand in the front. The left guy is exposed from the right/back right so it would make more sense to have him behind the right guy. The exposure on the right guy you can do by yourself so he fits in as well. :)

Black is sexier for features box

It may not work but try a brighter shade of the brown used for the credits and legal text, maybe the same colour as “Every man fights his own war” on the front?

As I said it may not look good but worth a try.

So i had change the placement of the characters and made some adjustments...the quality of the images were very diferent.
This is as far i can go, with my lack of skills, to match them both.
Also, i made several attempts to fix the legal area.
Sorry Sauron, butit doens't work, even with diferent coulours. Thanks tho.
For the SF area, well it started to grow in me so it's been hard to change for black.
I allways try to follow the tips and suggestions from you guys but sometimes i make bad choises :ashamed:
Does it look done?

Looks so much better now with grunge added to it!

The only thing that stands out to me is the feathering on the two guys on the back, if possible I would reduce it.
