Ironically grainy effects are becoming really popular in the young illustrators scene (they break the now-cliche "dribble flat" style). You need to actually be good though

Is this a joke?… It looks like a half-finished Flash animation created in 2002. I wish I was kidding, this is exaclty what I see. So there was too little time to even draw Iron Man's eyes and mouth. And this is apparently a poster?… For a comic book movie?…

Please don't embarass yourself any further. Learn vector art first. It's as amateur as it gets.

>>269336
The type is not matching AT ALL. Try something flatter which matches the artwork

>>269432
also which is more readable from a further distance after all its a poster

>Get rid of the gradients
>Get rid of the texture
>Make the text a flatter graphic font
>Get rid of Captain America's mouth and that little bit of speck behind the nose
>Get rid of the lines on the star of the shield behind Captain America
>Make the shield either brighter or get rid of it entirely (perhaps also add IronMans chest thing on the IronMan poster to match
