I really wish they'd hire an actual painter — the vectorized style emulates a painted style, but seems to lack the quality of what they're trying to reproduce.

The astronauts in these posters are really poorly rendered in general and quite muddy in some places (the we need you poster seems to be a different, somewhat superior art style).
Don't get me wrong, these are nice, originally had a smaller budget than wide reproduction/consumption — but in my opinion are about 80% of where they should be.
- gcr 10y agoI like them. They're meant to evoke the sci-fi pulp fantasy spirit of the 1950s and 60s. For some reason, they also remind me a bit of the art deco style that Dresden Codak tried to emulate: http://dresdencodak.com/2011/12/16/dark-science-14/ http://dresdencodak.com/2011/12/16/dark-science-14/
- awesomerobot 10y agoI like them in theory, and I agree with you — but original sci-fi pulp with real paintings has a much more authentic feeling to it. That's what I wish they did here. https://www.google.com/search?q=sci-fi+pulp+fantasy&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwix-PKVzenOAhUKWh4KHaaOBeIQ_AUICCgB&biw=1379&bih=1232 https://www.google.com/search?q=sci-fi+pulp+fantasy&source=l...
