Based of the marvelous sci-fi treat Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this alternative movie poster’s imagery plays off one of the main themes of the movie. The image is an interpretation of “The Creation of Man” by Michaelangelo, using Ceaser, the film’s main ape protagonist reaching towards the gloved hand of a scientist to ignite the spark of sentience.

Some progress shots on a poster for the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I decided to go with an homage to the “Creation of Man”, rather than my previous idea, which ended up looking more like a Mt. Rushmore for the apes.

Inspired by Black Swan, the 2010 movie by Darren Aronofsky, that showed the psychological fracturing and decline of a professional ballerina trying against all odds to play the part she knew she was meant to play. Using the white feathers to encroach upon the black swan character mirrors the omnipresent white swan persona that pushed against Nina, played by Natalie Portman, before being finally consumed by the black swan and incidentally ending it all.

Some progress work on a movie poster for Black Swan, the 2010 Darren Aronofsky psychosexual thriller starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. I think I worked out the contrast between the black and white negative space finally, and like the way its going so far.

Whether you agreed with her politics or not, the aptly named Iron Lady, conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was an important figure in the recent history of the English people. Her life and political career were displayed on screen recently in the film “The Iron Lady” by the magnificently talented Meryl Streep, and this poster is an homage to the amazing acting chops of said thespian and another great piece of cinema.

Some in progress shots from start to finish on the art for a movie poster for “the Iron Lady”. I tried to work in a mix of Meryl Streep and Margaret Thatcher, and to capture her iconic coiffure.

What does this guy have to do with the creation of humankind? I guess we will find out by watching the new Ridley Scott feature, ‘Prometheus’. This poster is an homage to the new movie and one of the most iconic sci-fi images in movie history. If you are a fan of the new movie, Ridley Scott, or the series in general- or know someone who is- then show your love with this poster print! The main image features the iconic image of the ‘space jockey’, with a hint to the original designer H. R. Giger.
