Here is another promo poster I made for my comic strip. I made another one a while ago based off of the casino royal movie poster. A few people didn't understand it was a homage to a movie poster, hopefully this one will be more obvious.

    Ahhhh yes, I thought the same thing when I saw the "Attack of the Clones" poster. But if yoou look in the bright explosion of light to the right of the russian roulette monkey and the left of Business casual Lochness monster, YOu can see the silouettes of the emo's and one out front, just like the clones. Here is what he looks like.

    What's the purpose of this poster? Did you make it for your own amusement or is it meant to actually drive traffic to your page? Because what ever it was made to do it's not doing it... you don't even write your web address on it.

    Also, the EPISODE IIis way bigger than the State of Mind, that's all I remember when I stop looking at it. Starwars got away with writing the title that way because it's STAR WARS. It's a cinematic classic who's relaunch in the EPISODE series was so full of hype that audiences everywhere linked EPISODE I to Starwars. Your comic can't afford to do this.

    I'm gonna be brutaly honest with you. What you're doing with remaking the James Bond poster and now the Starwars posters requires absolutely no creativity what so ever. You're just copying the composition, the fonts, the lights from someone else! Why not make your own poster, one in which you show what your comic is about. It's gonna be alot more interesting than remaking someone elses poster.

    Also, poster formats don't really work on the internet because the screen doesn't hold the same proportions as the poster. Think of the media you're gonna be dispaying it on, what you want to communicate about your comic and the ad is gonna basically build itself.

    Meh. I get no urge to read your webcomic. Possibly if you copied the poster of a good movie...
    Possibly if you had creativity and made your own poster. This makes me doubt the creativity of the comic itself. Also "Attack of the Emos"... wow, thats original. I know that emos are actually attacking in real life, but their use in cartoons has become repetitive and annoying. Just like actual emos. Think of something new and original.

    Also, the characters look very boring too. Try making them look different. It looks like one guy trying on different wigs. Oh wait, I'm sorry, the girl has a slightly smaller nose. Stick with the monkey and the green dude. I like them.

    I don't want to be mean or anything, but... I'll have to ask too: what is the purpose of this poster? Because, right now, other than being a poor attempt at parody of a popular film (to apparently promote your webcomic - which I have no idea what it's about), this poster doesn't mean anything nor does it left a good impression.

    Also, and this is just my personal opinion, I really, really don't like your characters design. The square heads, the giant noses, the eyes that have no space between 'em, your female character that looks like a travestite... I know you're probably trying a "style" here, but really, even though it has been said before: learn the basics, then go with stylization.
    Especially with women characters: learn how to draw the female body (right now, we don't see it, but I imagine -not sure, but I imagine - that if you do have female characters, you're having the "apply boobs on a male body" syndrome) and learn how to draw a woman visage too. Otherwise, it will always look weird.

    Still a personal opinion, but your character's design inspire me a little hatred that makes me want to punch them and yell: "Why do you look like this?". And it shouldn't left my with that sort of feeling.
