Members spacedog Posted November 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2022 This is the title/name plate. I tried rotating the background tool to avoid a pattern, and the letters are acrylic paint. Quote
Members spacedog Posted November 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2022 The wanted poster turned out pretty much as I hoped. The paper is the natural leather with dyed shading for where it is curling up, and the headshot is acrylic paint. Quote
Members spacedog Posted November 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2022 The shootout/count down was tricky as the small fragment needed to stand out from the background. I thought it would get too muddled if I used the background tool throughout, so I just used it at the edge. Not sure if I pulled this off correctly, but since it is for me as opposed to being sold, not a big deal. If anyone has a different option on how it could have been done, let me know please. Obviously, it is painted with acrylic on the bones to help them stand out, and no I’m not sure about the accuracy of the anatomy. Quote
Members spacedog Posted November 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2022 This was my favorite scene in the movie, the trick shot, and it was fun to draw out, but difficult to convey the distance. His elbow and the mirror should look closer than the rest of him, and the squiggly thing beside his head is the opponent in the distance. Again it is all pretty cartoonishly drawn, but that is what I was going for. The whole figure is acrylic paint over dyed shading of the background. Quote
Members spacedog Posted November 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2022 Nearly done. Spoiler Alert! There are a lot of deaths in this movie, and I wanted to portray it with graves spreading to the horizon, which has “the dead man’s hand” above it. It works, but feels like I rushed it a bit, like not fitting in all the words on the ace of clubs. It should say, “Well that ain’t good”. Not sure if that qualifies as irony, or not. Quote
Members spacedog Posted November 22, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 22, 2022 And finally, the end. This bit got the better of me. I could not think of a way to represent the strings on the harp and also use the background tool. So I left it blank behind the harp. Again, if anyone has a solution or thoughts on how it could have been done, please comment. There might be someone else wondering how else it can be done, besides me. Quote

First and foremost WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My only thought with the strings here would be to have backgrounded and dyed then because you have used some paint here and there .... paint the strings in . Again WELL DONE !!!!!!!! Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 23, 2022 CFM Report Posted November 23, 2022 you worry to much, that thing is awesome and is pure art from the heart IMO. I've never seen the movie but i can say your artistic ability is very good.. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Thanks Chuck. No worries, just looking for ways to keep improving. There are a bunch of clips from the movie on YouTube if you are interested. Quote
