No, we're not dead yet! The art room contests are back and betterer then ever! Not an active member of the PS Art room? No problem, this contest is open to everyone who wants to draw Pokemon.
Submission Deadline: CONTEST ENDED. NO FURTHER SUBMISSIONS WILL BE SCORED
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to invent a Pokemon-related movie and produce a poster which effectively depicts its concept. The movie can be whatever you want, whether it be like an official Pokemon movie or a re-enactment of the plot of another movie only with Pokemon. However, try to keep in mind how much plot can be shown in a single frame. Not sure if your idea is a good one? Stop by the Art Room and discuss your ideas with others.
In a compromise between our last two contests, this prompt will require the artist to make both composition and design choices to effectively create hype for the fictitious movie. Here are some things movie posters usually include that you might want to consider:
Re-creating an existing movie poster or movie concept with Pokemon is allowed. However, it will be more difficult to score full points on creativity.

Contest Guidelines
In a compromise between our last two contests, this prompt will require the artist to make both composition and design choices to effectively create hype for the fictitious movie. Here are some things movie posters usually include that you might want to consider:
- Aspect ratio: Most movie posters have an aspect ratio of either 1:0.66 or 1:0.675; this is not a requirement, but if you wish to use them to find the width, simply multiply the height by either 0.66 or 0.675
- Cast: The most common element of movie posters to show is the main character(s). If you include a character in your poster try to encapsulate their personality the best you can.
- Setting: If a movie takes place in a setting that is important to the plot or just otherwise interesting, posters will often try to show this by including key background points that could show where and when the movie takes place.
- Tone: One can often tell the genre of a movie by from just the poster. The saturation, luminance, and contrast of the colors can go far in identifying the tone of the movie. The person looking at the poster should be able to tell if the movie is an action movie, comedy, drama, etc.
- Title: Of course, a movie poster is an advertisement, and it wouldn't be a very good one if it didn't say what the title of the movie is! Try to think of creative ways to format the text to help show the tone of the movie.
- Focal Point: To maximize the effectiveness of the ad, the composition of most movie posters is structured in such a way that it draws the attention to one point in the poster in order to catch your attention. Do your best to make your poster both noticeable and memorable.
Re-creating an existing movie poster or movie concept with Pokemon is allowed. However, it will be more difficult to score full points on creativity.
