I was just curious, you didn't say anything when i replied how well you did with it, wasn't trying to art police or make any accusations.



I was gone all weekend, just got back..No I didn't take it as an accusation.. :) just wanted to be clear about the work and make sure I didn't misrepresent it..The art police was friendly sarcasm, sometimes that doesn't translate to well in print... ;)

As I mentioned this front went thru a half a dozen major changes, ask moviemonster.. ;)

He's not kiddin there either lol, quite a few changes :P

by invisigoth » Mon May 02, 2011 3:29 pm

Thanks for all the positive comments guys.. :)

I'll think about the suggestions, I'm making some changes today but I'm not sure on how many.

And for the 'art police' LCD, one was a poster and the other a wallpaper, hopefully you didn't get the impression that I made them although the italian poster I used wasn't the greatest resolution (Reno) so I made it into a vector and colorized it to suit the background I made. Yes I know they're different styles but I feel they work together on this front. (even tho Reno is more 'cartoony' and the gun isn't a replica) As I mentioned this front went thru a half a dozen major changes, ask moviemonster.. ;) I did make several vectorized Reno's but when I saw the poster that image seemed better to me even tho it wasn't a classic vector image like Portman. most of the Reno's I made have been used on many other covers and I was looking for something not seen as much.

I post an update soon..

BTW LCD
This is actually one of the first drafts of this cover. I made this Reno vector to better match the Portman style wallpaper. I wasn't finished with the reno vector (still too much detail and colors) but you can see how I changed direction from the face to face version..

I agree too but I have to be honest, the quality of work for the 2 vectors looks very different, did you do them yourself or find them on the internet?

by delek » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:09 am

Definitely agree!
I need only add that it is not the first perfect cover, and I am confident that this is not your last outstanding work partner!

I must say. This looks AWESOME. Great work here

I like the concept of the illustrated front with the realistic back and the sepia effect looks good too but... the gun on the front is not so good the bit I highlighted in red doesn't look right, it looks like its a separate part from the main barrel (see screenshot for actual gun used), thats the first thing that hit me when I saw the front.
also the silencer needs some work, as its a precision machined cylinder that screws on to the barrel it should have crisp sharp lines, the one here looks like its limp/bent and has an elliptical end and it shouldn't have such jagged reflections, its not your fault invisigoth, its wrong on the original Italian poster, which is sorta cartoon-like and never did justice to this film and I'm guessing thats not your intention here, imo it doesnt sit well with the beautifully drawn Portman character which has a far greater depth of emotion.
