I shelved this design awhile ago and thought I dust it off and see if you guys think if it's worth finishing.
The penguins are still nothing more than white out lines. And the Ice King lacks a lighting attack in his yellow hand. Should I make his crown more like in the show? And I might drop the green and just use a yellow gradient on top of the blue to create a green back pack. Free up my 6th color for something else.
I think it needs more text. (which I hate) to give it more of a cheesy B-Movie feel. Perhaps a tag line at the top, "When a Time Calls For..."
Any other ideas to cement the B-Movie look?
It could be the image size though, but the penguins looked like the legs of said creature. Good luck on getting printed!
@Walrus. Is there anything specific that turns you off or is it just the style/interpretation I did this in. I know it lacks the goofy off the wall randomness of AT but I'd hate to turn off the fans this is marketed towards.
Originally the full title was "A Time for Adventure" I was just struggling where to place the "A Time for" without it looking out of place.
Thanks Walrus that was really helpful.
As for adding "A Time for" somewhere, I'd suggest putting it just above the "ADV", either in the beard or right on top of the letters themselves.
I'd love to see an updated draft of this. :)
UPDATE:
Green is gone. Replaced the backpack with a halftone. Now I need to replace the Ice King's robe.
Crown is different, added some depth to the Mountains. I think I prefer the cloudless sky and his hand clinched in anger. Now there is this angle created with the Mt and King that runs parallel to the text.
What do you think about the text on the skins. Will that print alright on a tee. Gives the design more of a poster feel don't you think?
Enlarged the ice block with Princess, good suggestion. Started some detail on the penguins on the left. Went with Jake in a boxing stance, decided since this is a B-Movie poster a rubber dog fighting would better fit the ridiculous theme of classic movies like Attack of the 50 Foot Tall Woman.
Do you like that pose Jake is in?
Placed "A Time For" back where I originally had it. When bananna620 suggested the exact spot I had it in without seeing it, I figured that had to be the right spot.
But then that also kind of goes with the style.... Oh I can't decide
Maybe experiment a little in that regard?
Do you think I need to mock up a couple different Jakes?
UPDATE: Final one possibly?
Took away Jake's cartoony stance and colored in muzzle in yellow. Does that look like a happy medium between to two previous Jakes?
Any suggestions on the penguins? Do they look finished?
Also thoughts on the lighting coming from Ice King hand? Does that read alright as an electric fist of rage?
Plus any other obviously lacking elements from this design
that need to be pointed out please do so, sometimes when you work so close with something for so long you miss stuff right in front of your face.
Originally I felt it needed more text to get the B-Movie feel but at the same time I don't want it too look like a poster slapped on a t-shirt. Then you'd get all those comments about how they would love this to hang on the wall but not to wear on a t-shirt.
Now I'm not sure on a tag or not. I guess if the people feel it's needed to solidify the idea, I can toy around with some placements.

PS: I really liked Jake in the boxing stance. ;D
