The Box

Sorry for the late night post. I've been trying to figure out how the new thumbnail should look for the contest. I was initially making another thumbnail, but for some reason it didn't look right to me. So I had to restart all over again. You know, as an artist, I'm not afraid to start over, because it's almost therapeutic to do something over again. So I have no problems with that, or maybe I'm just crazy. I guess I'll just get into the process then

I know
I know, it's lazy to reuse assets, but I really dig how I made the Sndbox logo in illustrator. It was really simple making the individual shapes of the logo and merging it all together. Oh by the way, the logo was from my previous entry. If you want to see that, you can click here. Anyway, after I merged the shapes together, I just went to the effects panel and applied the 3d. Then I just moved the logo into Photoshop. The 3d text was the same process as well.
Photoshop
In Photoshop, I pretty much just did perspective walls leading to the background, applied different shapes to the background, and added a abstract sphere around the logo. I also added in a gradient effect to the text, and that's pretty much it for the thumbnail.
Inspiration
Well, coming up with the idea for this thumbnail was actually kind of challenging. I had already made a previous thumbnail that I wanted to use, but I didn't like how it was turning out. I also thought that it wasn't going to look appealing to
