Poster

The full size is 1024x768; I'm not sure what else I could do. Ideas and critique is much appreciated.

It would help us if you said what the poster was for, what you were aiming for.

Just this on its own isn't much help sorry.

There is a lot of negative space on the bottom. I think you can really do something cool with a mist effect down there... I also think the texture in the sky can be more... blurry. The closer you get to the horizon the less definition in the clouds. This should open up some space and keep the background from looking flat.

If you can add some shading to the guy's robe, I think that would round him out and match the robe to his helmet. Maybe give some definition to his arms.

It has a good focal point, so I wouldn't move the character, especially if you want us to focus on what he is holding.

It's a good start! Keep working on it!

The red sky, togehter with that demonic shadow, looks pretty good. Foreboding, in a hackneyed way. The black portion is far too large, though, and needs some dressing up. I suggest a pile of bones, a battlefield, troops storming in, or, this would be cool, the shadow's cloak billowing larger-than-life (Spawn-style) across the lower half of the picture.

Or you could resize the image, make it about 800x600, and cut away some of that black.

 Please excuse my slowness. I really don't have much time to devote to this, so bear with me.

Great suggestions and tips everyone, I am considering them.

MoD: The background isn't really intended to be a sky, more as an atmosphere, but your comment about blurring still holds, thank you.
