Every game needs characters, so it would be an insult if I didn't include an example of this on my box art. For inspiration, I have turned to a game called Broken Sword by Revolution.
There games are all about the story driven by lovable characters who you interact with. I was fortunate to stumble across these character sheets, which show the characters in various stances and situations finished off with a finished version of them.
I love this idea how shown the process as well as the finished piece. I could draw a simple character but show the stage by stage process as well which would express artistic process and work that goes into them.

Continuing my research into revolution studios I discovered some art work which continues this theme of a unfinished deign process look. The images are a scene from the game which have been painted beautifully. It shows the monochrome design first before the artist has blocked out the simple colours before refining it. I particularly like the way the image is a cross between finished and unfinished.
This could tie in perfect with the my box art, I could draw a simple landscape and finish only a section of it so it shows the viewer another process of art which contributes to the bigger picture.
A landscape was going to be essential to my box art but these images have shown me a complete new way of presenting it.
