Made these when I had some spare time on my hands. Haven't spent a lot of time doing these and there's not a lot of material to work with yet so...

lol I love the third one a lot! =)) That's hilarious.

Just joking. But it still looks Avatarish awesome ;)

But the best one is probably the second one. the colors and blending looks more natural and I love the lantern coming from the DT. I also love how you did the bottom as if it was a regular movie poster. It looks fantastic!
You should make one with RD on it. ;)

Ditto Daughter_of_Ramandu, totally love the one withe the lampost the best. I really like how you used a different pic of Georgie, that one looks so much more like how Lucy should, not creepy and whatever it is we decided that picture looked like.

Oh man. I love the third one. I couldn't even tell you blended it... except for the fact that Aslan looks a bit unnatural. :p

I agree, I like the second poster best, but mostly because I can see more of Aslan. :D I like how you made him in the center of all of them.

Nice work!

Thanks! Regarding the third poster; I credit glumPuddle for that discovery. I just made it even more obvious that the guys at Fox are spending their money on subliminal marketing.

It's scary how much alike they are. When I did the little shining beads, I just copy+pasted the Avatar poster into a layer below the one with the VDT poster. I then reduced the Fill/transparency of the VDT layer, which allowed me to see how they are placed on the Avatar poster. All I had to do then was to place them over the spots where the beads were and I was done, so the pattern in which they are placed on the poster above is the same exact way in which they appear on the Avatar poster.

Did you notice that Reep has those little shining beads in his ear and on his tail btw? ;) I was thinking that I might add that tendril like thing at the end of the Na'vi's hair that they use to connect to plants and animals, to the tip of it. Can't find a single image of it though.

These are really cool, Griffle! I think the first is my favorite, as the overall layout of it works better. There are a few things I'd like to comment on though. First off, I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but there are actually high-res images of the VDT movie stand in Narniaweb's image gallery HERE. Using those would help the quality on some of the images. Also, while I love the color you used on the background, I think it would be nice to see some detail back in there so that it doesn't look so flat. If you can find some images of smoke or clouds or water (since this is VDT) those are often good to overlay in the background to give some depth and texture. I like the people/creatures on the sides, but I think giving some disparity in the size of the heads (i.e. the people in the back being the largest, and the people in front getting smaller) would help the overall composition of the piece. I hope I don't discourage you at all with any of this, because I really do like the piece, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lilies fading off into the background! Just wanted to share a few of my thoughts. :D

I'll always be a,

^Well, not at all. I didn't know there were high res versions of them in the photo gallery, thanks for pointing that out. As I said, I did what I could with what I had to work with, and I haven't spent that much time doing them.

Will definitely update them for sure.

Btw, I did add stars to the top left corner of the posters. ;) But i know what you mean.

There are a couple of things that really bug me about the image gallery. For instance, you can't search for an image like you could before. (unless I've missed something) Also; I find it hard to guess in which category I'll find a specific image sometimes. A search option would help here.

Very cool posters! Great blending. The second one is definitely the best. The colouring in it is perfect because it is so natural. :) The third one is funny too. I saw the RD one in your gallery too - good mock! :)

Here's what I've been working on for a couple of hours now:


EDIT: Blue looks a lot better, now that I've tried it. ;)

This is a work in progress. (In fact, this is no longer what it looks like) Nothing is final. Give me some input. Do you like the frame? (does it need to be a different colour?) In which order do I place the "floating heads" to the left? (I'm pretty happy with the layout to the right) What kind of elements do I have to add to "to give some depth and texture"?

Btw: Yes, that is a production photo shot of Edmund from PC. There's no real good image of him from VDT.

I like the blue one better too. But, I don't think I like the frame much at all. It- I don't know, detracts from the rest of the photo I guess. Even the blue one fights for attention. And the lilies also rather compete with the logo. But I love where they are!! I just think they need to be less prominent. Maybe faded?

I'm liking every re-do of this poster even better then the one before! I'm totally looking forward to what you end up with! Keep it up!

Thanks! I have already sorted out the problem with the liles, will tweak the logo later on as well. I do love the colour of the frame though, and I think that's probably gonna stick. It adds a bit of detail and texture to it. The blue space below the logo & credits will probably be filled in with some ocean waves, and the background layers with Aslan etc. will be redone entirely. I was thinking of maybe having an image of sea at night with white stars covering the sky above the horizon. Maybe an Island or two in the distance, and with the face of Aslan on the surface of the water. (in the sky?). Anyway, I thought I might borrow a line from Pixar's Up!. You know the one... "Adventure is out there!". ;)

Griffle I love your newer ones and the Avatar inspired one too. ;) While I still love the background colors I hope the poster makers for Silver Chair does the same style like this. RD is beside Caspian!! :D

I really love the second one with the blue border more. You're really good at this. I love your work! ;)


Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!
