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!
