X-Men First Class Poster Contest Entries













These last one was created by Cave of Cool follower Eric Johnson. Check out his site for more excellent artworks. Another illustrator whose talents I am envious of.

I actually created an entry for this contest myself and submitted it this morning, (you can see it at my blog if you just click on my name), not realizing that the first wave of entries would be seen before the April deadline.

That being said, I do like a lot of these poster over the "official" ones.

I like the ones you did also. If it's okay I am going to add them to this post with acknowledgement of course.

I went back and read x-men #1 and I am pretty sure the first class was completely different than the one in this movie.

Another case of 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I love the 'Cuban Missile Crisis' angle but you could have made it work with the first five and a few members of the original 'Brotherhood'. This movie has a lot to overcome if it's going to get my support. Not fair I know but that is what you get from making a genre film.

I am also reeling from the fact that Darren Aronofsky has left his job directing the 'Wolverine' sequel.

I agree. There's a lot riding on this one for me. I hope they don't screw it up too bad. Yeah, the Darren things is crazy.

Hey Thanks for posting mine Kal, you didn't have to do that! At least your green with envy on St. Patrick's Day! hahaha.

Just for clarification though, the silhouette posters are not mine but are actually the posters made my the paid professionals in Hollywood. I had them in my blog entry to contrast their use of "floating heads", compared to my own.

Thanks for the information. I will fix that right now. I should ask you about commissioning a 'Cave of Cool' drawing. Now that you have been here awhile I suspect you know my prominant 'themes'.
