Personally I feel it works better without the explosion, takes the focus off the rest of the image too much.

Also I noticed the skull straight away as well :)

Do you mean something like this?


Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. How did you do that?

This looks amazing... Love it. My two cents are..

Is there a way you can bring his cut arm in so it's not cut? Use Puppet warp or do it manually?

Is there a better pose of Sam Jackson, he looks out of place and looks bored.

Also made add some rocks below the island to make it look more real...

I spent like 2 mins on this lol. Don't judge me... hahaha


Thank you. :)

I'll see what I can do about the hand. I've tried that befor but I didn't get it done. Will give it another try.

There are not many pictures of Mr. Jackson. One more where he is nearly full visible. But that's from the beginning of the movie, from a szene were he is going to his helicopter and is wearing sunglasses. You never se him like this when they've arived the island, that's why I've choosen the used image.

I can also try to use this:

There is very much dirt on him but I can try to clean that somehow.

I'll find way to change him I think. ;)

And thanks for the example with the rocks in the water. I guess that's what the other guys ment before but somehow I didn't get it. ;)

The cover is well made but it looks like the movie takes place on a teeny tiny island. In my opinion that front doesn't work..My suggestion would be get rid of the island. Doesn't look right


Of course I won't do that. I guess it's totally obvious that this does not show the real island they're on in the film. The proportion from the people's sizes to the island's size, the big monkey in the background and the big title in the foreground should make it very, very clear that this is only art and does not show the real island the movie is playing on. When you expect that from seeing it I think you should not use this cover. ;)

With the right brushes anything is possible :p . I've sent you the files in a PM. I hope they do the job.

Hi guys. :)

Saw the movie a few days ago and really liked it so I've started a cover. Here's what I've got so far:

Looks good so far except one thing i noticed is....one of the names where you have Tom Huddelstone his name is actually Tom Hiddleston. other than that really looks nice.....good job.

Made some changes as suggested by RookerDesigns:

- added some phlegm to Kongs face (thanks to speed for the brushes!)
- changed the image of Sam Jackson (don't want to use the one with the sunglasses) - is that better now?
- added some rocks, splashes ad waves infront of them around the island
- did Brie Larson's hair
- added some brightness to the red smoke
- and finally corrected Mr. Huddlestone ;)

Didn't get done Kong's hand, couldn't even find anything in a similar pose and a resolution good enough. All I've tried looked very strange and wrong. :(

Great update! Would rotating Kong work instead of trying to find another hand?
