Captain Midnight Movie Poster

Being an illustrator the rule is same for everything else you do, if you want to get better you have to practice, practice, practice. So with the theatrical release of Captain America coming soon, I thought it would be a good exercise to see if I could re-invent one of the worst (and this is just my opinion) super hero emblems ever. I wanted to take Captain Midnight's chest shield, and see if I could make it look like a cool, modern, summer movie poster. If you're not familiar with Capt. Midnight's look he wears a clock with wings that signifies midnight with both hands pointing to the 12 o'clock position sown to his long, and very manly underwear.

This is what I did with it.

I think we should start an internet rumor that they're making a new Captain Midnight movie.

The extra arrows on the original didn't do anything to enhance the design. Your version is slick and streamlined. Great work!

Comment by Larry on January 16, 2011 at 6:54pm: I like it. Very well done.

Comment by Scott on January 16, 2011 at 4:43pm: Leviathan- I tried the two handed look but I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted. I figured the tag line "It's Always Midnight" and the "Captain Midnight" would be enough to infer it being a clock.

Comment by Leviathan on January 16, 2011 at 2:34pm: The only thing that I would do differently are the clock's hands, because in your version you see only one of them and therefore the clock looks more like a speedometer. Other than that it is a very nice work.
