EBD Show Art Brief

 
 

Summary:

A colored (by you or others) square cover art update, with the show’s name and three hosts, drawn as our avatars in an ‘jumping off the page’ style orientation.

Artistic theme, design and typography are open to interpretation (and would adopt your styling).

Example

At a basic level, it could have a similar vibe to this Justice League tee (in layout), but with your artistic style.

The Details

Avatars

Sealab

My avatar is based on Captain Murphy from Sealab 2021. Ideally a simple caricature of me could go in a Sealab style helmet.

Worth noting that the only color anywhere on the art that would need to be the same as inspiration is the orange wetsuit.

Mohlverine

Kev (Mohler) is obviously based on Wolvie. I really like your rendition with the vest and Kev mentioned a lame 80s vest in a recent show that could be used (will get a pic).

Jar Heego

Heegs is a piss-take of the silly names in Star Wars. Ben is a Jedi with a yellow lightsaber. Ideally he could have his lightsaber out (even if it’s held across his body to save space). I kinda like the hood, but as with all of this - I’m very open to interpretation. Bennie has been known to rock a sweet Magnum ‘stache which may be a funny addition (Lando creeper ‘stache?).

Text Inspiration

I really like your Carver titling:

I feel like my tastes are too vanilla (lack of creativity), but here are some titles that strike me:

Technical Stuff

(Most importantly, I am able to do all the vector work and other crap that is listed below).

This info is more of a heads up than a request for a million variations. I just felt it may inform some design choices.

Not sure whether your workflow is digital or analog, so whatever works for you is all good with me. That said, I will likely end up vectorizing the characters and text to make a transparent PNG to float over topical show art (as below).

Other

I also use the current heads and text for Social Media avatars and headers for example:
