Oh For Fuck's sake!

Be patient till the last.
TPTB decided my Macbeth design was too gory (have they read the PLAY??) so these are three designs I drew this weekend. The lady arm was the Director's idea, so I drew exactly what he described. Boring. I think they should go with Macbeth holding the dagger. I call it "Point of No Return", as I feel it represents the instant he decided to give in and go do the dark deed and murder the King....the pot was where I think all theatre people who know bugger all about posters should go.....

Director: "yes, I see Lady M's arm outstretched, she is offering a knife..I see a bracelet, with a single red jewel to represent a drop of blood..."

BY THE GODS! Macbeth breaks the scred code of hospitality killing his own King who's a guest in his home, murders innocent pages to blame them, murders a woman and all her children in a fit of pique cuz he couldnt murder her husband, murders a friend who guesses he's the murderer... OMG WE CANT HAVE PEOPLE THINKING MACBETH'S TOO GORY
 
this is the one I hope they choose it has way more drama and punch but none of that offensive blood juice......

this is for theatre people who know fuck all about graphic design but like to waste your FREE TIME that you've VOLUNTEERED for Community Theatre!

A kings crown close up but the points of the crown are daggers? (Sorry maybe bit too fire and ice)

(I love the second one...)
 
I really like the second one, too. The iconic look goes pretty well on posters in general.

I definitely want to see the original one that got rejected now, although I'll be pretty disappointed if it isn't of Lady Macbeth wilding out and smearing blood everywhere and over everyone while making dick jokes.
 
I like the first one. You should make the background blood red though like she's stabbing the poster. A semi subtle FU to the director(?)
 
YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT "THE SCOTTISH PLAY".
 
^ omg - Wacky, I generally always do! See how they drove me mad!?!

Loktar, he's an EXCELLENT director - I'm excited how the play's coming - I just wanted him to trust me with the poster!

Anyway, just heard back and they've decided to go with the Macbeth & dagger, THANK THE GODS cuz there is so much paperwork when you become a homicidal maniac.

BUT if I EVER volunteer to do a poster for community theatre again, FEED ME TO THE ZOMBIES< OK!?!!!
 
Make Lady MacBeth look like Michelle Trachtenberg.
 
Actually, the superstition about saying Macbeth only applies inside a theater.

Your original poster was DA SHIT, those people have no taste and no balls.

Anyone worth their salt in the theater should have TASTY BALLS.
 
You should tell TPTB to kindly fuck off and do it themselves if they don't like what you provided for them.
 
OMG IS THERE A SECRET TK FACEBOOK COMMUNITY WHERE EVERYBODY IS CONSTANTLY SHARING INTERESTING LITTLE TIDBITS ABOUT THEIR LIVES?

(I'm not too keen on sharing the fact that I've just friended someone called "BIG DICK MCGEE" with my entire high school graduating class.)
 
If there isn't I don't know about it.
 
No, he uses his real name, Pubert von Pimplespurt.

I really like the second one. It's not immediately clear how the arm is positioned, so the question of that draws you in, revealing a dynamic and interesting pose.

The first one's okay too... I at least like the idea of the bracelet with the blood-like jewel.

The couldron is a couldron.
 
BREAKING NEWS!!!

a poster of Macbeth needs some blood!!!!11111111111111 OMFG

I used it on the little theatre people...it's a little messy now.
 
I started to mention this in the spam version thread, but isn't the presence of blood kind of an INTEGRAL PART OF THE FRIGGING PLOT? It's not like it's gratuitous, the got-damn story TURNS on that point fer chrissakes...Lady M sees it everywhere and goes so mental they're both doomed for it. You are much more civil than I'd have been. I'd have drawn a second poster with a hamburger and a clown and told the director they might as well call it McDonald's because without blood IT AIN'T FUCKING MACBETH!
 
Isn't there a ghost in MacBeth. Is that the one with the ghost.

Or is that Hamlet?

Either way, draw a ghost.
