Just for fun, I've been re-creating movie posters of the movies my friend Mike and I review on our podcast. The images were at first created with the media I could find around the office at work, so I was limited to fine point Sharpie pens and a small selection of highlighters.
Keep in mind, I don't really consider myself an artist so much as I just do this for fun and to help relieve stress.
Children of the Corn
Teeth
Dead Alive
Maximum Overdrive
After a while, I started taking it a little more seriously and started adding in some color pencils to some of the pieces.
Barbarella
Drop Dead Gorgeous
Slither
My overall goal for these posters was to try to capture the feel of the original posters (copy them as close as possible) as fast as possible. I made most of these while live streaming on Twitch.
Gutterballs
Slimeball Bowl O Rama
Right around here, I started to realize that a lot of posters are just copies of each other. Here are two ensemble cast posters in a row, but definitely won't be the last.
Phantasm
Tromeo and Juliet
... and here are two posters of closeups of faces.
Fight Club
Total Recall
With Total Recall, I started to experiment with paint to help highlight the eyes, but I use it later to add texture.
If you've made it this far, I would LOVE to hear what you think, and I'd really like to check out your art as well if you have any.
There will be more posters to come, so stay tuned.
