Going back to illustration within the hour of finishing an animation entirely is wonderful, animation is stressful but hugely enjoyable - I personally find it stressful because every frame finished means the next needs to be drawn now. Approaching a character I'd got to know so well over creating 3 minutes of animation and grown to love in something that wasn't animation. Illustrating the same character was a nice way to relax after finishing a film, still working but almost giving myself a treat after drawing 100's of frames. However, I still didn't know what to do for a poster.
I took a look online, looking at popular and famous posters on Google and selected a few of my personal favorites. I took huge inspiration by drawing out a few posters with the characters from my film, I've saved my most treasured ones.
Despite really really really REALLY wanting to do the EVANGELION poster seriously and submitting that, I didn't want to take my personal approach. I wanted to be professional with the cartoon I'd spent months on and I wanted to create something that reflected on the film and promoted it in a positive light that featured elements from the film without showing it all. I started drawing up a rough sketch on Photoshop and really started liking it so continued working on, until I'd already drawn the line art and colour.

Over all I really love the poster, I even printed off a copy for myself to display at my studio. I feel like it reflects Benjamin's character well without being over loaded with elements from the film. It's polight and charming.
