The scanned pencil artwork, I basically pump up the white and black contrast.

Then I combine the pencil work with  old paper texture to have a surface to start painting on.

Now I start to lay down the basic colour wash over the entire image to establish the overall tone to the artwork

Details of the painting in progress…stay tuned for more updates

I decided to go with the poster design of ‘DRACULA’S HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN’.
After reading the brief, I decided to make a poster like the old hammer House of horrors movie posters- in the poster they would try to tell a bit of the story.
So in my version I have the werewolf ‘WALDEMAR DRACUL’ in the final battle with ‘KHLAREE’ the evil sorcerer, I wanted to create the feeling of who? is going to win, will the werewolf be rid of his curse forever or will Khlaree stab him in the heart with the silver dagger forged from the banks of the Nile.
BIANCA, is my third character- a mysterious gypsy, in the poster I wanted to give her appearance of a weaver of fates.

SO here is the final artwork

And here is a inspiration board I made, to help spark ideas for when I was creating the final piece, some of the elements you might notce like the pattern motif an the background.

The premise of the competion is to make a artwork using Vanessa Lake as the subject matter and is totally open to intrepretation.

This is my submission for the IspyVanessaLake competition that is been hosted by fellow deviant *Attache.
I wanted to try to combine a sort of burlesque show poster with a sort of strip-o-rama.
I really enjoyed doing this Vanessa Lake is an amazing model, I can see why she is so popular.
Enjoy

So here for everybodies download enjoyment Ilsa Tigress of  Siberia Wallpaper.

So we decided that http://www.nightowlpro.com/index.html , needed a new fresh look and I wanted the Shockmonster to be a star of the show, so I created a spoof movie poster based on the shockmonster mask.

I also decided to re-shuffle the poster to fit my longposter format as well, as they are slowly becomming my signature pieces.

Here are the different versions of the Shock monster poster…Enjoy.

What I wanted to do with this was to create a more pinup based poster and create a image thats a literal representaion of the the movie’s title.

I also wanted to incorporate the old style of cencorship by playcing stars over the acressse’s nipples on the poster.

Here is the original movie poster:

Here is my poster version as well as the long format version of the poster.

The theme was a take on left for dead , but adding the band members as the undead.

I decided to go for a sort of EC style comic look, but a little more updated so less halftone and more intense colour in the image and the use of textures as well.

I used halftone more extensively on the backdrop buildings and alleyway beacuse I wanted the zombies to be the focus of the piece.

To break the composistion up a bit as well and make it less centralised I made the creatures look and point outwards.
