(Side Note: Not sure why its stretching the images, its never done that to me before, but its 2am so they are staying that way for now. If you click on the images they will show at their correct dimensions.)

Started in my sketch book with a quick sketch:

Once I had a decent idea of where I was aiming I switched over to the Bristol board and resketched with more detail:

Usually I would ink next, but decided to do some shading first, the thought process being that I could be more efficient with my lines once I had a more solid idea of the lighting:

So after loosely shading with Copics I went back in and inked the lines:

Finally I went in and did the background:

And thats it!

I actually would have gone back through to do hi-lights but my paint brushes are in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping. I think it came out pretty well I already know some things I intend to do differently (like making sure I dont run out of my W3 ,  using a wash for the background, planning the background a little more.)

Heres to effort and growth!

The finished products will be 4 movie “seasonal” posters, modeled stylistically off of the old 50′s poster illustrations. The subjects are all woman just before… dispatching… their significant others. Each piece is intended to be fairly subtle, at first look the scenes should seem fairly pleasant, maybe even a little sweet, until you look a little closer.

I threw the first poster together back when I finished the first image, but the poster part was rushed and came out really bad so that’ll be re-done.

Summer:

Winter:

Spring and Fall to come. Stay tuned!
