Wow this thread was started back in September, how bout that? Here's my poster for SUMMON! The Nameless Relic!:
The series focuses on two protagonists.
1: The Man in Red: a crafty, card-dealing con-man from the West. Behind him is Egyptian Hieroglyphics as his journey starts in Egypt where he unlocks his hidden power through a pair of mystical items. He holds the Ace of Hearts declaring how more open he is with himself, despite being a card player. He's headed to the left as his character goes West with the wind on his back.
2: The Child in Blue: a strong-willed and devoted child from the East. Behind them is a Chinese painting to represent their strong connection with their home. Their design is meant to allude to YinYang seperated only by their Blue Sash. Their discipline and dedication embodied by the Dragon behind them. They head to the right as this character goes to the East with pride.
3: Checkerboard Divider: Games are an integral part of the story's themes. From playground games to casino games. The pattern make a more prominent appearance in a major location shown early in the series. As well as the idea of things being "Black and White", both in morality and in aesthetic as this series features a primarily Black and White with a splash of color for emphasis.
4: Posing: Both of out protagonists are in identical poses with minor differences. Our Red Protagonist has his back towards the camera, not in cowardice, but in a gambler's confidence. Freely exposing a weak area, certain he has a trick up his sleeve. A confident expression that may or may not be a bluff. Our Blue Dragon hides nothing, freely showing their claws and running in head first, assured of themselves and their upbringing. While also giving respect to who or whatever is in front of them. Their expression one of determination and focus, fangs bared, ready for the challenges before them.
Overall -- the theme of parallels, origins, one's character and most importantly games are all what I hope to emphasize with this poster. Easily for both a serious and entertaining series.
