This is an updated version of the poster sketch I just posted based off feedback and critiques from people.

I made it more dynamic and added many more British related symbols and characters. Since I know this is just a sketch and not 100% perfect, I'm gonna describe a couple of the references that might be hard to make out. The Beatles are on the double decker bus on the right, the Cheshire cat top left. Harry Potter, Marry Poppins, Paddington Bear, and Feathers McGraw, are being beamed up by the flying "saucer" tea cup with the British flag. GOD from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is peeping out of the clouds. The yellow submarine bottom left, Abby road on the bottom right. Big Ben and the ferries wheel towards the left and Dobby the House Elf is driving the bus.

While I like this composition, I think I might tilt the tea cup to counter balance against the Tardis surfing, which would of course require Peter Pan and the Cheshire cat to be moved slightly too.

Thoughts? Advice? Criticism? Critiques? I want to make this poster awesome so please, advice is helpful!

The first sketch is located here and you can see the different between the two for youself: [link]

Nicely done. I like all of the attention to detail and the finely tuned British media references. I do think the sky in the background is rather boring, so my suggestion is to add a few birds or some clouds to give it a nice touch. I also think that you might want to put a sign somewhere in the lower right hand corner saying "Abbey Road", just to clear it up a bit. Also, why does Sherlock Holmes have a wand??? Overall, It's detailed, but you could change a few things to make some of the references clearer. Good job! :)

I think that Dr.Who reference is great first of all,
heres a few things you could work on/add if you choose to
*I know that the picture will have better quality than this
*Big ben is somewhat shaped to that of you picture but it doesnt hurt to be as acurate as you can
*i dont understand if the smoke from under Tardis is from it or the bus but i dont understand where it is comming from
*the backround is kind of drap and could always do with some wispy clouds or some interesting type of weather

I cant wait for the finished version

I think it'd look more dynamic if the tardis was angled upward, aimed at the viewer. Kinda like it's about to bust through the poster.

(sigh) No addition of Mr. Bean, Wallace and Gromit or Red Dwarf.
