My First Poster Design





This was the first poster I drew for Prince of Banes. I drew it a little over a year ago, I guess, back when Prince of Banes was not more than an idea. Compare this image with the new poster. Whereas I like the design of the old image, the artwork is less precise. Agathon is disproportionate and Eraxymachus is very simple. I like Eraxymachus in the new poster because he's darker and has more character and more fear. As god of doom, the darkness fits him, and as a boy, the innocent fear suites him well.

Also, the woman pictured in the old design is Helen, Agathon's wife, while the woman in the new poster is Aphrodite, goddess of love. The demon in the old is Hades, while the demon in the new is one of his officers in the Underworld armies. The hooded man in the old image is Protius, who has been replaced by Falco the Persian (not pictured in either).

As I said above, I like the layout of the old, so I may redraw and modify it. But we'll see. There'll be many posters by the time this is all done.

I think both posters are great, but I really like the new one a lot tough
