Hey babies,

So the main front page graphic is up now and I'm really happy with it. Making this post to go through each poster so people can get a better look and I can explain the reasoning for how they're designed. Also, the images have been sized down for this post so this shit isn't a mile long, if you wanna see the original size just click the link.

1.

This is inspired by the original Woodstock poster, pretty self-explanatory. The original poster has a dove standing on a guitar neck, this has a spooky crow sat on a skeletal arm because skeletons are dope and I started this whole skulls thing around War Games last year. Also, you'll notice all the posters have these creases going through them, that's just to give it an old-school look. I dig it.



2.

I wanted to give everyone clown hats but that shit was not cooperating with me. Really happy with how this turned out, it started off as a chore because I just couldn't get the idea in my head out but once I gave up (like a champ) and just started throwing shit at the wall to see what stuck it turned out well imo. Pretty basic design, just a type of poster you'd see for a circus if it was run by a narcissist. I feel the background makes it pop and gives it a real Saturday morning cartoon vibe. How can you not love Mick Foley's big dumb face?



3.

Not to be biased but by far the most superior poster ever created. I'm joking. This was inspired by Queen's album "Queen II", a creative title I know, and it turned out fairly well. The biggest issue was trying to get everyone's shadows right, due to the fact I have to pull everyone off what I find on Google and other image sites, trying to get lighting and positioning is a ball ache but I think it looks fine for the most part. Favourite thing about this is Dick is obviously laughing at the doing that hand thing, Ned looks like he's trying not to laugh, Geri looks done and Caedus looks like a demon.



4.

Hey Lycana, go fuck yourself. I kid I love you but next time you make a character be considerate of my stress levels and use a picbase that has premade images with a transparent background. Atty and Betsy, you're good people. So, this is inspired by Charlie's Angels, obviously, I got kinda lucky here. So the poster I based it on had the characters in shadows so I could darken the images of the girls to hide the many MANY shortcuts and mistakes I did with cutting Lycana's image. This is mostly my fault, going with the most awkward crown I have ever seen but I'm pretty happy with it... Just don't look at it too long. Reggie is over the image at low opacity mostly because I felt bad having the other 3 and not him.



5.

So the inspiration for this was I had no idea what to make so I grabbed images and put them together until something appeared. Happy with the results. I kinda made it look like a ruined VHS cover, like something you'd see at Blockbuster (remember Blockbuster?) and kinda be worried to rent it in case it was a snuff film. I dig it though, I think it looks bootleg like BOB wasn't meant to have a poster but put one up themselves because fuck you.



6.

I had so much trouble finding a background image for this one and I have no idea why. Like the actual main bulk of the poster was done in maybe 15 minutes and I spent an hour and a half just trying different shit for the background until I landed on this. Pretty happy with it, I used the original Continuum banner as inspiration for this, each character has their image in their name. Love you Thad.



7.

I made this at 6am and looking back it shows. I can notice a few errors I made but let's not play Dora the Explorer and point them out. This is based on North Korean propaganda, if I was a better man I would have loved to add Alias, NKWC and Morbid's faces on the image in the bottom left but sadly I only bring shame and dishonour. I do feel bad I left the others out of this image but I do also think it fits having only glorious leader Corey on the poster. Pretty sure the text at the top says Pokemon in Korean so make of that what you will.



And that's it. Hope you liked them, if not keep it to yourself. Been making graphics for the site for a looong time now and I am really happy with how all these turned out. Best of luck to the teams at War Games and I hope everyone has fun also I have never done this before and I feel very awkward for asking but if you'd like to help a struggling graphic designer buy food this month you can give me money via PayPal. You do not have to, DO NOT feel obligated at all to do this but it will help me not die. Thanks. https://paypal.me/disastergator?locale.x=en_GB

I'm sorry!

I didn't expect anyone else to be making me things haha To be fair I've cursed myself out as I tried to make my own banners.

You did an AMAZING job! With all of them. I love the posters! Heart
