I'm making some fake movie posters to hang up around my apartment, and I'm a little torn on how I want to work this one. Here's my first pass at it:

I'm not 100% sold on the monochromatic pseudo-Reservoir Dogs look yet. I was thinking that high-contrast, desaturated version could work as well. Here's what the untouched color version of me looks like:

And I also have versions with the tie tied, walking away, sitting down, but I really think I like this pose the best.

I'm also open to suggestions for the text placement (I'll fill in the credits later), addition of a background, font selection, etc. Let me know what you guys think!
 
I think it needs a visual connection with the title. In keeping with the stark bareness how about:

I like the original though I'd prefer a bit more detail on your left hand side. Otherwise it kinda makes you look like two face.

I also think a bit of colour would be spot on. I'd like to see how it works with the above and keeping the red in the tie.

I'm thinking more like Sin City
 
Something like this?

407370, it's an interesting idea, but the picture is rough and kind of jagged, I feel like having a coil drawn in that's sharp and crisp is kind of a mismatch. That might just be me though.

Thanks for the feedback!
