I Bring You Fire, Again

My latest Photoshop creation to commemorate the announcement of the sequel to the divisive sci-fi movie Prometheus. If you've seen the movie then you understand what's happening in the new poster, and if you haven't seen it chances are you don't really care to see it in the first place. What can I say about this piece other than it's a funny idea turned into a funny parody poster?

 

the source material

I thought about making the poster look more like the bottom one. The engineer standing in for Death woulda been hilarious, but finding and/or creating the images of David and Dr. Shaw's face pressed up against the glass would've been a doozy. Besides, I liked the image of them blasting off into space to discover some new shit. Images of Dr. Shaw are taken from behind-the-scenes shots, so it's really Noomi Rapace posing and wearing sunglasses. As for David's horrendous android smile, that's also a real Fassbender smile taken from a paparazzi shot. As I strive for as much authenticity I can muster that's a really a shot of the moon, the planet, AND the backdrop of space...all real. 

I guess we'll find next March as to how close my poster really came to the actual movie.

Get Sunny

More Sunnyland from the archives! I know what yer thinking; "When is he gonna start posting new comics? All these strips are dated 2007 and such." Well, good question. All these 'From the Archive' posts are as much a refresher for you as they are for me. It seems like I've been away from working on these fun, short strips and that I myself must get reacquainted with the characters and scenarios all over again. Plus, (and I'm sure other comic creators will agree) it's fun to create comics, post 'em, forget about 'em, and then come back to 'em just to be blown away by your own creation. Not only that, but these archived strips serve to familiarize the new audiences with my world and my characters. I thought you woulda figured that out by now.

Next up, Rob and his appointment:

 

Rob and Shelly head for the cinema, online to have an anti-piracy yes-man get in the way. You can tell this one's dated by the mentioning of Bush. Although, has much changed since then?

 

This next one is for the old school gamers. What fun!

 

WOULD YOU?

Last one for today shows the trouble with tropical storms. Currently, there's a drought here in Houston so I think this is something we all look forward to right about now!

'Til Next time!
