Shadows of a Job



So, above are 3 illustrations I did for these guys that are pitching a movie. Sounds cool right? Except they ignored emails when my friend and I had questions (the friend got me the gig). Then we find out (we assume really) that they went somewhere else for the illustrations. Since I already finished these I thought I would share them (especially since I didn't sign a Non-Disclosure). The general story is about a serial killer... or something.

The first version was drawn in pencil, then scanned and then colored in Photoshop.
The second version was inked with a brush (except the house that was a tech pen), then scanned, into Photoshop where I cleaned it up a little and added some color.
The third version I drew the shadow outline and some of the elements inside the silhouette with pencil, scanned in the pieces, assembled them in Photoshop with a couple of royalty-free images I found here, and then using a rough brush with the opacity dropped to about 20% I painted over the pieces. Lots of pushing and pulling with this one!
Please to enjoy!

Great stuff, especially the colors. The would-be clients were fools for not using them, and jerks for not following up with you... or maybe they were captured by the serial killer? You might have to update your blog post if their mangled bodies are discovered one day.

I use sxc.hu fairly often, too - and I direct people there, especially if they have near-zero budget for photography.

Cool stuff!
