Description For the Contest over at  

I did a possible VHS cover  

I chose Patrick Carmen's Land of Elyon Series because it's about a kick-butt heroism and coming of age with no male love interests and TALKING ANIMALS SO THATS COOL. 

Synopsis: 

Inquisitive twelve-year-old Alexa Daley is spending another summer in the walled town of Bridewell. This year, she is set on solving the mystery of what lies beyond the walls. Legend says the walls were built to keep out an unnamed evil that lurks in the forests and The Dark Hills. But what exactly is it that the townspeople are so afraid of?

As Alexa begins to unravel the truth, pushing beyond the protective barrier she’s lived behind all her life, she discovers a strange and ancient enchantment. Armed with an unexpected new power, Alexa exposes a danger that could destroy everything she holds dear – and change The Land of Elyon forever.


--

It was between this book series, the Ranger's Apprentice Series, and the Vladimir Todd series. 

I chose to do the characters as mostly POC, because if I recall correctly, the only description of Alexa is that she is scrawny and has light brown hair, so bam. 

I based Darius's desgin on Balto, if it wasn't obvious C:

love the Lilo & Stitch- inspired designs. And absolutely LOVE the VHS cover layout! It really looks like a composition that you'd see on a 90s cover, which adds a little bit of nostalgia to it.
The story sounds very interesting. Never read the books, but it sounds like they would make for some good movies.
Good luck!

I love your design, she looks like a perfect heroine for a Disney movie. And no automatic male love interest sounds refreshing, lol.

Hey, good use of artistic license to take the POC angle, you don't have to be white to have brown hair after all.  And I'm definitely seeing the old VHS vibe in this pic with all the characters fitted in.  We still have all ours from the 90s and they are as good as new.

Oh, Ranger's Apprentice, love the series Too bad you didn't choose them.
This one turned out good though. But shouldn't the poster contain a hint of that unnamed evil? Unless I'm missing something, I'm not familiar with the book.

What I love in this poster is that it screams Disney, I love that the main character is still Disney-like and not the typical generic Disney Princess look. And the other characters too are well designed.

You have the Disney style completely down pat, but the characters still have their own distinct style. It looks awesome. It is definitely believable as a VHS cover. This would make an awesome Disney movie.
