Farewell, My Lovely

John Prisk - Farewell My Lovely


The lines for a little thing based upon the Raymond Chandler book of the same name, featuring his hard boiled pulp detective, Philip Marlowe.
Colors to come.

Aliens

John Prisk - Aliens

A re-working of a slightly older piece, redesigned to be reflective not of just the Alien franchise, but of the movie Aliens (the second in the series) in particular.

Admittedly, while I wanted to do this as an homage to Aliens, I used the tagline for the first movie on the franchise, Alien.  Mostly because it's a bitchin' tag line.

Empire

John Prisk - Queensryche - Empire
Yeah... A lot of art based on music these days, and especially a lot based on Queensryche tunes.
Colors to come...

Anarchy X - Redux

John Prisk - Anarchy X


This is a reworking of the piece found HERE.
In the end I felt the previous version was a little too busy and I didn't like how I had ultimately rendered Dr. X.
This version, I feel, better represents the musical interlude on which this image is based.

Stargate - Children of the Gods

John Prisk - Stargate Children of the Gods
A remake of a piece I did some time ago. The last one was a bit awkward and unbalanced. With this one I hope to create a more unified piece with eye appeal (and less busy junk in the image).

Dead Girl Superstar

John Prisk - Dead Girl Superstar


Based on the Rob Zombie tune, Dead Girl Superstar.

The Dark Knight

John Prisk - The Dark Knight

Every now and again I like to fiddle around with the "less is more" concept.
Simple shapes, outlines and back-lit high contrast figures can make for some dramatic imagery.
I recycled the background clouds for this from another image. I may redo them entirely here in the near future as I have a new idea for how I'd like to see them rendered in the image...

Big Cat Diary Deuce

John Prisk - Big Cat Diary

Another take on a logo for the program I so enjoyed. It was such a fantastic documentary series. My first homage to the series can be seen HERE.

From the Maasai Mara in Kenya, Africa, the series was widely known as "the original wildlife soap opera". Perhaps that is not a description the producers of the show would like, but the show itself was quite dramatic and the narrative provided by the commentators went a long way towards reinforcing the drama.

Over all it was a thoroughly entertaining and enrapturing series.

Check out some of it HERE!

The Bruce Partington Plans

John Prisk - The Bruce Partington Plans

Based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle short story of the same name.
I LOVED this one; well rounded, developed and fairly action packed for one of his shorts. All in all an A+ story.
Read it.
Love it.
Come back and thank me.

See No Evil

John Prisk - See No Evil

Based on the (really lousy and entirely cliche) movie of the same name. Though a pedantic and thoroughly uninspiring endeavor the huge wrestler guy that is in the film (surprise, surprise, he plays the creepy bad guy) is a pretty intimidating presence. He really should be creepy and bad in more stuff... But better stuff...

Anyway, colors to come.

Children of the Gods

A little something' somethin' based on the Stargate SG1 franchise...

The Sign of Four

John Prisk - Sherlock Holmes The Sign of Four


If you haven't read it, do so. I highly recommend it.

Native Blood

John Prisk - Native Blood

Soooo...
I'm not really happy with how this one turned out. It's not really what I had envisioned when I started it. As such I think I'm going to be re-doing this one sometime soon...

Based on the Testament song of the same name. Their front man, Chuck Billy, is native American himself from the California Pomo Tribe. As a result the band has done a number of tunes about being a native American.

David Fincher's Zodiac

John Prisk - Zodiac


A pretty good film that suffered from a terminal case of fact-itis.
If you want to know what I mean by this comment, follow this link, and read the article(s).
Anyway, I'm almost done with this movie poster homage. I just need to get the copy on there and it'll be all done...

Indiana Jones

John Prisk - Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx

...and the Secret of the Sphinx, by Max McCoy.
It's  not a great book. In fact I felt it was profoundly lacking. But I felt it had a lot of potential and it did do a good job at creating some imagery.
As such I wanted to do this little homage.

Native Blood (W.I.P)

Based in the Testament song of the same name, off of the album Dark Roots of Earth.
Chuck Billy, Testaments lead vocalist, is himself Native American and they do the occasional tune about the topic. This particular song is about personal empowerment and becoming bigger (spiritually speaking) then ones transgressors.
