Don't Starve Movie Poster

Coming soon….Maybe.

A (fake, unfortunately) movie poster for the Don’t Starve contest hosted by TheOnlyHorse, here:theonlyhorse.deviantart.com/jo…. Yes! An awesome contest that involves making a poster for Don’t Starve! AND TheOnlyHorse and ZombiDJ are two of the judges! What’s not to love?

Anywho….I’ve actually had a bit of experience making movie posters, as I had to make one for one of my classes at Full Sail University (see it here: kineil-wicks.deviantart.com/ar…), so I thought I'd give it a whirl. The standard size for movie posters is 27”x40”, so the end result is a pretty big file.

This took me roughly a day to do, but I spent the next several days afterwards fiddling with this and that and e-mailing Klei to see if they minded me using their logos (they didn’t, by the way). The idea was pretty clear in my head, so the initial work didn’t take too long. I logged a lot of hours in the Don’t Starve Wiki, though, to make sure all the nice little details were right, and to make sure I got everyone’s designations right. And I got to play a lot with Overlay and Color Dodge too—they’re my new favorite toys. And this is a PNG at TheOnlyHorse’s suggestion—thanks for being patient with me, by the way.

And now I can’t help but wonder who would play who if this came to fruition and they did make a Don’t Starve movie….
