Retro Poster Style
"Retro" may not be the exact right descriptor but the only other thing I could think of was "WICKED AWESOME" which doesn't really say much but I guess it is also one of the goals. ANYWAY, basically remember when posters used to have attitude and, on top of that, glitz and pazazz? I do and I miss ye olden days, so I think it'd be fun to try and bring them back a bit.
Anyway since I am incompetent with words here are some pictures. All I have is examples from cheesy horror films (mostly), but I think they are also the best examples.
Attack of the 50 Ft Woman
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (this thread would have been a COMPLETE loss without even one reference)
Hollywood Burlesque
Mama's Dirty Girls
Monster on Campus
The Abominable Dr Phibes
The Masque of the Red Death
the subject of said poster or whatevs doesn't need to be a film but I couldn't think of any other examples to pull. So! Yeah! I think that kind of cheesey fun style can lead to cheesy fun
(if everyone disagrees and thinks this is a horrible idea i will make something else or something
)
Deadline: The 23rd Awesomeuary (edit: Feb is now officially the awesome month)
~ BI-WEEKLY CHALLENGE THREAD ~
For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.
The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).
The rules are simple;
RULES:
* One entry per person, per challenge.
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
* Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
* All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.
If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).

If there's one certainty in these threads, it's that not just one person knocks off socks.
