The Return of the Son of the Day of the Triffids!!!
Well I am almost finished with the new design. It turned out a lot better this time, I dropped the entire corner piece of the blind man, its an integral part of the movie storyline but it just clutters up the boldness of the image. I redid the entire thing in a much bolder style once again using only brushes, I ended up with something where it looks like I was trying to channel the spirit of Wally Wood I think. It really reminds me of the old EC science fiction comics, probably because of the deep dramatic shadows. On this not quite finished version you may notice her foot is screwed up. I am correcting that right now by cutting and flipping pieces of it in photoshop. I did the title and cinemascope part by tracing diligently in Illustrator, although I am not sure if they will be able to use the words "Cinemascope", or "Eastman Color" they may be trademarked or something as one of my art buddies pointed out. I can always make them parody names, my art buddy suggested "Enemascope", at which point I cracked up with the glorious mental imagery that evokes. Sorry for the watermarks, I normally abhor using them but figured since this is for a company and possible employer I better use them, as well as make the image a bit lower res. I am still going to play around with the placement of the titles I am not sure I like it overlapping the image, and I think I may make the image more prominent. Plus I am going to add the original poster tagline at the bottom: "BEWARE THE TRIFFIDS... they grow... know...walk...talk...stalk...and KILL!". Having never seen the movie I am not sure how weeds on chickenwire can talk let alone kill... HA HA gotta love those old B movies! I will definately have to find this one to add to my B movie collection. Okay back to work, later!
