learning composition of elements
okay, so this isn't for anything. i was just fooling around trying to put something together in sort of a modified japanese movie poster way. i've never been great at putting elements together. should i add more? change some around? it's supposed to be the monster vs. everyone else. thanks in advance for your critiques!

It put a smile of my face
Hey. Did you get all those flying objects from work? Ha!
I'm lovin' this piece, and I think you did a great job of putting things together for simply playing around.
ttfn!

haha
haha! no it'd be a little boring having passenger jets attacking gosirra :)
:)
Like the Gosirra. Did you make that name up?
ttfn!

i want to say that "gosirra"
i want to say that "gosirra" is the way that "godzilla" sounds in japanese when pronounced correctly. i could be wrong on that though. but it sounded so great and made me laugh. i had to use it. i did look for the real name of this character, but couldn't find it. if anyone knows, please enlighten us!
I'd make the monter bigger,
I'd make the monter bigger, more left, and right over the text but not completely covering it. The blurry plane is obscuring too much of the monster, I'd scale it down a bit and push it right, just a little. The flying saucer doesn't make much sense in this context; A third combatant perhaps?
Otherwise great colors and great treatment! Love the kanji...

i had another version with
i had another version with the monster bigger, but i screwed it up somehow and the colors were off. i'll give it another go. by blurry plane obscuring, do you mean taking too much attention away? as for the UFO...hehe...yeah i actually started out making a UFO picture and then just sort of decided to get real silly with it. so, yeah, it'd be a third party i suppose. i kind of leave it up to the viewer's imagination to create their own story behind it.
High Five Haiku
And that bottom space is just screaming for a haiku--
Gossira on earth
desert shall he leave behind
if left on his own.
Crimey. It's been a bloody long week. Can't believe I'm trying my hand at poetry. Time for a beer.
ttfn!

you know...i was thinking
you know...i was thinking about that bottom space too! but i was afraid that if i added too much more, it would get distracting. though all of the japanese movie posters that i looked at were insanely busy with all kinds of stuff going on in them. your haiku is great by the way! if i knew how to write that out in japanese, i'd SO put that in there!
What if you make the monster
What if you make the monster bigger. Ah, the flying saucer? I'm confused, Why s it in there. Did you make the plane blur or is it blur when you put it there? Looks like it's going to crash and is not focus on attacking the monster.
I don't understand that Japanese character, what does it mean? I like it & I like the colors.
yeah, don't really know what
yeah, don't really know what the story is behind the UFO being there. i kind of left it up to the viewer to make it up. as for the plane, i rotated it to seem as if it's towards the monster to join the battle. i blurred it out since it's closer to the camera and not within focal range. i figured it'd help add some depth. not effective? too cumbersome.
Bottom Space
I was thinking you might be able to add a little bit of terrain at the monsters feet and bring it down to the bottom, creating a little more foreground. And maybe create a shadow behind him; casted by the light source from the flying saucer.
