The only BOND 23 teaser fan art that is remotely any good is the Brazilian guy's cat motif. It is not perfect, but it gets the series, it gets poster design and it gets making something different. The rest are over-egged cliches. The title of the film needs to be clear, not lost amidst a blur of 1997 007 logos and design thinking.

Although a Bond film sells itself, the title needs to be visible - from across a cinema or shopping mall. It needs to say NOW! not two decades ago.

And no. I will not be putting any fan art up here. I think there is always too much of it to not step in at the best of times.

I disagree, I feel many of these were good (Maybe not to Bond standards, but pretty close), not to be too arrogant, but I feel mine was pretty good and almost as good as the Cat Motif. But I will agree that the Cat one is the only one that could pass for official.

Still a fantastic effort. I would love to have your version on my flat wall somewhere!

My friend, if I had the GoldenEye art in high resolution, I'd be honoured to print in poster size and send as gift to you. Unfortunatelly, the image is in very bad quality for this kind of thing.

Well, it is the thought that counts. Thank you sir.

Personally I enjoy looking at fan art movie posters. They are different levels, some good, some not great. Despite people putting Craig's head on Brosnan's body (some of the fan art posters have Craig with too narrow shoulders) they are fun to look at.

Is markymurph going to do one?

Oh go on then.

[DamnCoffee]

Amazing!

[Matt_13]

That's pretty damn cool.

Thanks fella.

Knew it was going to be top notch!

[univex]

All kinds of awesome Mark!

[The ides of Mark]

Love it!

[univex]

The official one better look as good as that one. Big shoes to fill now.

[marktmurphy]

Cheers dude; I'm sure it'll be much better, although somehow I doubt their route will be quite as gory!

[SecretAgentFan]

Stylish! Different and edgy!

eh eh, what can they do that´s more gory than that gunbarrel thing they have in their films?

Seriously, I love it. They could compose it with a dark gunbarrel at the back and it would be reminiscent of the iconic gunbarrel in the films, making it a bit less gory. Still, I love it just the way it is Brilliant work.

Thanks guys. Here's another, not-as-good one I didn't really know where I was going with it so I'm not really as happy with it, but I thought you might enjoy the painty style so here it is anyway.

[univex]

Bloody Good (no pun intended ). This one is awesome as well. How did you do it Mark? Makes you wish they would go back to the hand painted posters of the 60s.

[Aris007]

Magnificet job Markmurphy! I have to say many of the fan-art posters are much better than the official ones.

[marktmurphy]

Glad you like it It's a reasonably straightforward process where you use the smudge tool after running a few effects on the image first, then I did a bit of real painting over the top. I keep meaning to do a proper retro poster.
It's very good for getting the Struzan effect; as an aside here's an Indy test piece I did

[univex]

Actually, the very first thing that popped into my mind after seeing the Craig poster was Indy They used to do such iconic posters. I don´t believe they´ll do such a wonderfull character poster as that one. Simple and retro.

[DamnCoffee]

Would be lovely to see a fully theatrical Indiana Jones style poster for Skyfall. Or Maybe just Casino Royale or Quantum.

Oh go on then.

Waaaooo!!! This is good and diferent!!!

outstanding!!!!

Both are bloody good (pun intended). They are both truly incredible. I love the Struzan effect in the second one and the blood one conjures up images of one gruesome title sequence. Hands down the best Skyfall fan posters thus far.

This is brilliant. Out ing standing. Holy

[marktmurphy]

Cheers guys. You can see big versions here if you like.

[sharpshooter]

Magnificent work here, mark. People say onwards and upwards, don't be of the past and all that. But the painted style poster you've come up with is a thing of beauty. They are timeless and can't be beaten IMO. Bringing that aspect back for the 50th anniversary wouldn't hurt too much, would it?
