Great start bud! I think you don't need the duplicate ugly dude at the back, it's the same image you used for the front composition. Wanna see more from you, and i'm curious what you will do for the features. Will you do a bluray cover for this too?

Thanks Ctaulbee.......yup Ark..I'll most likely do a blu-ray also. And yes..I'll change out the guy on back....I
didn't even notice I used the same one.....

Nice work so far. I like the composition.

I'd use some adjustments to let Pratt (skin tone, jacket) and the little fox (his pelt, color of his waistcoat) on the back look more similar to them on your front.

I like the arrangement of your front. But as it looks now, it suggests that the fox is even as big as the other characters (although he is actually clearly smaller). His head has nearly the same size and the rest of his body isn't very much smaller then the others.

Maby you use only the four big characters in on line and put the fox atop of the title? Smaller then as he is now. If this is an option for you you could use the one from the back for your front then. Just an idea.

I agree with the above comments. I think it could use even more variation also. The spaceship on the front and back looks almost identical. I'd lose one, probably the one on the back. Also I can tell that you are recycling the background image from the front on the back as well. I recognize some of the clouds being the same. There are so many images available for this film you should be able to find some that aren't so similar.

I think you can also come up with better still images. For example there's some random henchman standing behind the blue guy (I forget his name) who has a very minor role. There are many more important characters that you can feature instead. I think the raccoon should be smaller on both the front and the back. I think it also might look better to have the raccoon and groot together. I know that's how they look in most of the artwork for this film but that's because its how its almost always portrayed in the move.

Finally.... You used the word "Marvel" six times in your synopsis!

Well I think it's suer sweet work thus far...

Jpeg couple of minor adjustments you could do on the spine title, one drop the marvel logo on it as it's at the bottom already and the other would be to move the 'Guardians' word up and inline with the rest, making it a one line title, this will let you scale it up some and make it more visible.

LOTS of suggestions...thanks guys!

Changes the TT on the spine to lengthwise, recolored the clothing on the back to match the front and adjusted Starlord's
face to add more skin tone on the front. Also, added another Nova ship to the front and moved the more detailed Milano
ship to the back. Sticking with the five characters on the front as the original art was. Rocket''s head is just about
proportionally correct to fit the symmetry of the five characters together in a row.

Keep the suggestions coming!

I guess you could put the black background just below the TT, get this dark blue layer and a black layer soon after I think does not quite right. Keep up the good work: D
