WOO-HOO!!

Thanks to the judges and to all the folks who left so many encouraging and supportive comments on my image. It was a blast putting that together -- I did a lot of homework looking at 1950s sci-fi posters to try and get the right feel for everything from the layout to the typography to the use of language. I guess it paid off!

Congratulations to all the other winners-- there were some fabulous entries in this contest.

And big thanks to Animotions for continuing to support the digital art community and for coming up with such inspiring contest themes. Awesome job, everybody.

Congrats to all the winners!

My one observation is that everyone who won had the following elements in common;

1) Posters featured titles and credits.
2) several included things like "technicolor" or "filmed in" sub-headings.
3) They are all distinctly mid to late 1950's in style.

My chosen reference material was;

Mostly because i love horror and sci-fi.

I think your image is excellent. That said, I think the lack of credits and other signifiers suggesting a film poster is what probably hurt you with the judges. It reminds me more of a 1950s/1960s-style book cover than a movie poster as a result.

First thing I did after reading the rules was go here:

http://www.mad-monsters.com/Posters/index.html

and soak up as much reference as I could, cherry picking the elements I wanted to emulate. Sci-fi posters of the 50s/60s had a pretty unique aesthetic.

WOW! I'm thankful! Speaking as the self disqualified contestant, I'm grateful for the "just for entering" prize--as well as an official No Prize. I shall set it with honor next to my Marvel No Prize and my WIBC Empty Envelope! :lol:
