John Cena Poster

[Defiant]

I wanted a really paintbrushed/airbrushed look about this poster concept so I spent loads of time trying to trial/error all my brushes to see which ones flowed, how to blend Cena, what to do with all the white in the background, what colours work, etc.

So after 2 or 3 hours of just straight fucking around this is what I put together. I didn't like it too much at first but I'm enjoying it the more I look at it. I wanna hear from you if there's anything I could've done better.

I'm considering creating a DeviantArt account and seeing if anyone would buy this sorta stuff on canvas.

I actually like this piece, you don't even need to show his face.

I reckon the line around the head could have been blurred into the background though. But overall I like it.

8/10

The render is actually a shot from behind, the red brush on his "face" is the hat line. The reason I didn't blend Cena's head into the background too was because I wanted him and the explosion effect around him to have a distinct cartoonish layer above the background.

The typography above was a last minute decision. I intended to do the usual text at the bottom like my previous Jericho poster but by the time I was done it became a cluttered place for text.

Very artsy approach. I love the background/added effects/cartoony feel, but I can't get over the choice of the white render. I can't articulate what's 'wrong' with it, but I'm just not a fan, personally. Only real flaw I see with the poster is that Cena's left hand seems to be kinda' chopped off randomly.

I'd probably give it a 7.8/10, but I think the lower rating is mainly due to my weird preferences haha.

Wasn't to sure when I first saw it but the more I look the more I like it

Man that's so awesome. I don't think Ill ever be able to graphix like that.

Really unique way of using the "You can't see me", I've often wondered how I could make a Cena peice without him being in it, now I know the path to take.
