The fist look great, but we're quite not there yet. Remember let's try to stay away from abstract and concentrate more on something that encompasses the concept of "Showdown". The idea of two avatars ripping apart a popcorn bag is just one example. Another can be related to a bull and a matador preparing to square off. A third idea could be two rams butting horns/heads in battle. These are just several examples that reflect what Movie Showdown is going for.
Thanks again for your great submission so far, can't wait to see what you do next.
We love #85 but it needs to be sleeker, make the reel more apart of the "M" and less white in between. Maybe raise the middle part of the M lets see how that is. We would love to see a crown on top of the M either like #84 or spikier. Not such a fan of this avatar/human maybe try and take it away.
