I don't know if you really want your work scrutinized, but it bares saying. I've never seen ANY box art with a sulking protagonist. I know the story of the main character isn't a "happy tale", but sulking on the box art isn't going to attract people to look at it. If he's trying to uncover mysteries etc, he should look determined.
Also, although the king has his robe blocking his arms, the woman does not, and her sleeve is shown in a very unnatural looking way.
Lastly, one of the game's biggest draws is the watercolor style used for the game's art. Perhaps you should really be playing up that aspect with a high quality watercolor styled painting? Stand out with what you're known for!
Got to disagree with the portrayal of Sam - he's shuffling around with his hands in his pockets all the way through the game. He's not a brave adventurer, he's a quiet kid who's just become orphaned. If people are expecting Marcus Fenix, they can play Gow2 :)
God point about Noannah's sleeve, it does look a bit odd! With the King, again that's how he appears in game.
We did originally try a watercolour bit of boxart, but it didn't work terribly well.
'Nuff said!

Nope, all (sensible!) feedback is welcomed.
