Moonraker (State 2)

Further along in my progress on the James Bond/Moonraker poster. I need to add color to the figures inside the shuttle shape (Drax, Goodhead and Jaws), render them a bit and add a little texture and desaturate some bits and I should be done.

Moonraker

A work in progress...

I know - Moonraker was a pretty lame Bond flick overall. However I always felt that under all the silly bullshit they threw in, there was a pretty rad idea trying to get out. Because of that it'll always have a special lil place in my heart of media hearts.

Anyway, I have to draw the main villain, the Bond girl and Jaws for this, complete the rendering, add some textures, probably a little ben-day dot action and muck with the copy and it'll be all purdy like...

Hopefully.

Big Cat Diary

Just a piece I'm working on as an homage to a really cool BBC nature documentary I've been watching lately. Set in the Maasai Mara in Kenya, the narrators expertly cover the progressing lives of two groups of lions, a couple different groups of cheetahs and a generational progression of leopards all living (and occasionally interacting) in this Kenyan National Preserve.

I have to draw the leopard and ink in the cheetah for the piece as well as prepare a little background landscape to go in front of the setting sun.

Revolution Calling Redux

I'm re-doing this one from some time back. I wanted to change the focal point of the piece and re-work the color scheme - the one it has is pretty atrocious. Poor color choices and a poor use of texture just make the original look half-assed, so I'm gonna fix 'er up real nice-like.

Anarchy X

More in the ongoing series of images I'm doing for the Queensryche album Operation: mindcrime - this one for the opening instrumental entitled Anarchy X.
I need to draw the tattered background draped flag, the nazi-esqe "X" logo that will go inside the outline of the foreground figures and digitally color it all in. I'm happier with it (to this point) then I thought I would be, so that's a plus.

Completed Inks - Zodiac Movie Poster

There are my finished inks on the rough pencils posted below. I've got a ton of color and texturing to do for this one but I already have the background Phillips 66 map mostly done, so that's one bright spot...

The space at the bottom is open for all the movie poster copy. Typical stuff like "Directed by...", "Staring...", "Written by..." and all that rot.

This was drawn on 14 x 17 100 LB Bristol Board. Pencils only took about 3 and a half hours, but the inks took quite a bit longer at close to 10 hours.

Let Them Eat War, Redux

This one is a total color makeover of one I posted quite some time ago over at my Deviant Art page [Click me! I'm a LINK]. It's based on a Bad Religion tune and as I dig them quite a bit I wanted to rework the colors to try and make the previous crappy version of the image/colors a little better.

I changed all the copy as well as some of the drawn elements and I dramatically lightened the background to help the figure pop a little better. I also textured it up to give it some grit.

All in all I like this version quite a bit more.

Total rework time, aprox. 4 hours.
