This is my digital rough. I'm still working on the lines, but I'm not sure how to make them look right. I also made it so that the art is visible outside the diamond, but I think I'm going to change that because I think it would make the diamond's right side feel more explosive.

Hey Max,
I really like where the poster is headed. I think the effect you added to the bullet to demonstrate its speed is working really well. Also, I think the way that the background lines bend based on the bullet is a really great and subtle effect demonstrating the power of the bullet.
I was thinking that for the hand with the gun, it would be interesting to convert that into a larger / rough halftone. Also, I feel like the size of the information text is pretty small, and could easily get lost. You should try zooming in on the entire composition – it would greater emphasize which band is playing, where they are playing, and further the explosiveness of the bullet’s impact.
This is coming along nicely Max. I agree with Gil, maybe zoom in a bit. As for the lines, I would make them bend/curve more near the diamond--in my mind, the bullet is this strong force that is pushing its way out, so the lines should be a bit more bulging ) like so then gradually get less bendy as the bullet leaves that area.
I feel a little fixated on the smoke and Hole part. I think it might be interesting to have the bullet kind of breaking out of that part too; through the smoke and diamond and lines to really show its impact/strength. The info gets kinda lost, I would enlarge it or zoom into the piece.
This poster is definitely headed towards a cool finished piece. In addition to the comments above, I really like the elements in the poster, a gun shooting a hole is a great way to visualize the band and song. I would definitely make the info font larger, or even consider enlarging the gun and placing text on the barrel.
As for the lines, you could Increase the slant towards the left even more so it really looks like the bullet is tearing through it.
Max,
I'd agree that the hand/gun seem under-emphasized. Before, when there was a face with it, it filled out the space more nicely. But now, it seems lacking.
Color-wise, I'd also consider reversing your scheme. Right now, the diamond really pushes forward, and the background recedes. It seems like the diamond should be a hole in the bigger background, and the hand should be visible through that hole/opening (a la the James Bond iris). I think if the bullet was that close to the muzzle of the gun, the smoke wouldn't just be rising—it would be blasting out of the gun. I think you could get away with it, if you made the smoke bigger. What if it was somewhat transluscent and went in front of the background and lines?
I'd also agree that the lines need to be more curved/affected at the break from the bullet.
I think it's heading in a good direction…you just need to give it more impact and balance.
