Howdy Friends and Fellow Artists, Here is my entry into this wonderful little challenge. I've never done one of these and I almost missed the cutoff for submitting because of surprise, surprise... procrastination. The original piece was done graphite/ink/charcoal and then I digitally corrected it in Corel Painter (as well as applied the lettering, borders, etc.). It's been years since I've done a complete composition and it was a lot of fun to have a challenge like this to try doing it again. I've never submitted to a challenge before and have barely had the time to draw or paint in the last few years, so it's nice to get back into it and I'm just happy to be here and see what everyone else is coming up with. Happy drawing to everyone :-)

This looks like a really fun movie and it's cool to see the progression of the poster from thumbnail to color.

Hello there everyone! I almost missed the deadline, but here I am ! I wanted my movie to be one of those cool Laika Studio stop motion animations, so I made the poster to evoke that kind of abstract way of dealing with feelings that their movies have. The movie itself would be about how hard is to predict what is yet to come and the difficulty to trust those who come along the way (represented by the three eyes on the left). All of the faces here are supposed to be self portraits, I drew them all by hand (with pen and paper) and them vectorized everything (with inkscape and a very bad mouse) to correct proportions, finalize the composition and put some textures and colors. Anyways, here is the result (hopefully some of you will dig it !).

Really cool concept and very stylish! I especially like the eyes that are shining the light down onto the center face.

Greetings! Here is my Life as a Movie poster June #prokochallenge. While I explored a number of ideas from my youth, through teen and college years, and early career, I chose to make a poster about my life with family. Fathering three teenage kids, life is always an adventure. So my poster was inspired by a 2014 trip when my wife and I took our kids on a six week driving tour of the western United States and their National Parks. THAT was an adventure! From almost being stuck at the top of mountains at sunset with storms moving in, to having our transmission die as we descended from Devil’s Tower, to endless walks along precarious rock ledges! So I took that idea and made it into a Family Adventure movie! Here, I’ve added to the plot suspense by adding the black helicopter that is chasing the family through the mountains where they are cornered and almost fall to their deaths. I thought I’d leave the text work to the designers, but hope you get a feel for the movie that could be created for this poster. Cheers! P.S. I added some of the process shots as well.

This feels like a great movie for the whole family. Love all the characters expressions and posses!

Hello everyone, first time here, this is my submission called "Painting Memories". It would be a movie of my art journey and my goal and the people that have been with me along the way. We learn here that each step is important as we grow and form memories, and this memories, in a way, define our art and ourselves and for me it is like magic. As an artist, with each brushstroke, I try to light the way for me and for other people that need it. Hope you like it. Ps: Love the positivity here, you are all awesome!

Love that streak coming from the pencil with the memories and the stairs leading upwards. Great composition!

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, it's an honor to meet you all. I decided to create a poster for Meat Jail, a gory horror film influenced by the likes of Hereditary, Hellraiser and The Witch. This (imaginary) movie and its poster focus on my experience with gender dysphoria and sex reassignment surgery, the multiple fears, uncertainties and pain that I have faced because of my transness. Thankfully this movie has a good ending, our heroine survives and lives to, maybe, film a sequel.

Wow!! Great silhouette! You've nailed this piece!

If my life was a movie it would be an adventure, fairy tale. It's about a girl who one day finds out about sea dragons that live in the ocean and protects the ocean .She decides to draw a painting of it, and suddenly she is sucked into the painting and there her journey begins! Hope you like it ,really exited for the challenge :)

Such a cute style and beautiful colors!

I haven’t got much to say apart from: thank you Proko for giving me a motive to finally practice graphic design. It really was an interesting journey- revisiting these memories - and I am happy to share a glimpse of it. Inspired by old thriller/detective movie posters.

This is a winner!! Such a good concept and composition!
