It looks pretty good layout wise, but I think I mentioned to you before that you might want to try using some filters and layer effects to make your designs pop more. You have a good eye for layout and design, but a lot of your boxes, imagery wise, are just render placements.
Also, if you experimented more with contrasts and filters, you could make the renders come together more, and not look like there from a whole bunch of different sources, like the 2 renders you used on the back of this one. Also, something light a subtle outer glow on the "300" logo on the front could possibly make a world of difference.
My best recommendation would be to assemble your renders as you normally do, then take a look at things and think about how you can bring everything together as one design, rather than a collage of neatly organized images.
You probably have the most determination out of anyone on here, and I see you getting better all the time. With a little more flare, I can see you doing some really jaw-dropping stuff.
#15 totally agree with the last part draxxx i remember your first box and then this your improving quite alot.
but for this box i like the front pretty basic but effective but the immortal on the back looks out of place with the colour as he is bluish and the spartan is got a orange feel about him.
thanks guys! and i see what you're saying about the persian and i tried to something with it, but i couldn't. and plus they're that color in the movie so why change it? >.< lol. but i'll work on it some more and thanks for the comments! :)
thanks guys, and i'm gonna start working on it now. :)
and @GrahamZ, the back is a bit blurred because i had to make the box bigger to fit the background and for some reason, everytime i submit a box the quality becomes less. lol.
sorry about a second post in a row, but update! i made the persian not bluish-gray and made him kinda blend color wise with the box. is that better now?
my latest box! hope you like! took a while to get the colors and such just right. lol.

The back makes it like twenty times better than it orignally was, and it was already amazing.
Your Score: 300 x 20 = FANTASTIC
EDIT: No pun intended.

Try playing around with the colors of that guy with the mask on the back. He doesn't fit at all when it comes to colors...
