MemberOvomorph01/24/2012Hi all, new to this website. I thought I'd start off with a recent sketch I put together based on the Prometheus trailer while I wait for the movie. If you want to see more Join My Facebook Page Here:

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012Thanks Biomechanic and thank you to BugHunter for that. I'll post more as and when. I'll put more on the Facebook page as well.
I'm looking forward to the screening of it.

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012Exceptional. If they still commissioned film poster artwork like they used to, I would have loved to see what you would come up with for Prometheus.

MemberOvomorph01/28/2012Many thanks for the very kind feedback. I love the idea of a movie poster. The new one is great. It shows just enough for you to wonder what the film is about, but it is perhaps the first in a series of posters. That's what I would do, the closer we get to the release date the more exciting the posters should get. That's not a new idea but it's a great way of keeping interest. I think Prometheus is going to be a game changer for the movie industry. It will show how a movie, the director, writers, artists, actors, engineers, developers, and most importantly the fans can make something special.
Prometheus is a carefully crafted production that I feel will address some of the disappointments of later films based in the Alien mythos. Sir Ridley Scott put so much effort and risk into Alien I bet he felt very frustrated with the directions it went into. I've got to say that Aliens was amazing. A different direction presented from another legendary director - James Cameron. Alien 3 was such a sad let down. IT was sad because of a bad script and a director (David Fincher? sorry - writing off the top of my head ;-) ) who at that time just had such a hard time with the accountants I seem to remember.
To name drop, I wrote to the great Fred Hole, the supervising Art director, he was brilliant and greatly missed. I spoke to him a few times and he was very helpful. Any case I meander. The point was I think the Hollywood bosses got nervous. It had too many writers on it and got chopped to bits. You realise that no one wants to make a crap movie, it's the fallout of problems in the main, rather than artistic miss-firing. Well I'll leave it there. ;-)
