I'm cutting this one closer to the deadline than I'd like, but it took me a lot longer than I'd originally figured.
I tried something different with the artwork this time. I tried for a manga style on the characters, though it ended up looking more like the PennyArcade artwork, which is ok, I guess. I did the original design on paper, scanned it and traced in Illustrator where I also colored it. I added final color, texture and effects in Photoshop.
All of the artwork, right down to the logos was hand-made since there's really no resources for this game, not even a decent resolution logo that I could find. Hope you like it!
UPDATE: Printable version added so show more detail.
Also, just so you know, the description on the back of the box was taken from the official game website and yes, it is goofy.
#4, I actually take a photograph of a real box at the angle that I want to emulate then I use the "distort" transformation tool to stretch the design using the photo as a guide for perspective. I've used the 3D tools in Photoshop before but I find my own method is a little faster for me and also makes it easier to make the reflection for the presentation.

looks good
also do you just use perspective to make the box 3d?

Awesome as always GB. The guy does look like a Penny Arcade character, but it makes the design all the more cool in my opinion.
