B-Movie Entry: Marley Mcleay

#21

Thank you very much, Yongkiat, appreciated:wavey:

#22

a little to peaceful slaps forehead…found that an additional claw made the image too busy…may play around with the boats angle, make it more like the original…and once this is finished i think i better go back to the drawing board and get an image more akin to a b movie…

#23

Better

#24

good luck !

#25

water tank aesthetic starting to flare up :P…

Thank you KIDI

Marley,

Awesome colours and lighting as usual.

I reckon classic “B” grade movie stuff just means crap plot (read ridiculous) and cheap or simple props…its got nothing to do with being something from the 50s or 60s - proof of that: look in the local video store…surely you would call something like Universal Soldier II a “b” grade movie?

Best of luck!

#27

That’s an amazing critter you’ve created there, and I can hardly wait to see it come together. I’m not sure it says “B movie” to me though; usually I think of stunt men in rubber suits…

#28

Bravo, I’m loving the colors.

#29

great composition ^^
I still think that the monster’s too futuristic and creative though… like something that belong in The Abyss… but it is up to you

#30

Nice…the added war ships really set the scale of this monster!

#31

Right so not entirely sure this is worth posting, but there are subtle adjustments and basic brush clean up for this.

nothing drastic

#32

Hi everyone, i’ll keep me answers brief as i am really tired and my bed calls

Hey paul, glad you came to visit…yes i think thats a nice way to describe b movies to be honest…B as in short for bad :P…Id completely forgotten about Uni Soldier in the first place…that was bad…

Thank you for the feedback

SantoAnderson

:smiley: cheers mate, thank you very much, made my day.

Pegahoul

Absolutely agreed on that point…I did want to finish this piece in the end since the concept sketch i did of it…so once this is out of the way, we shall see ;)…Cheers for the honest feedback as usual

Yongkiat

Yea those battle ships were very enjoyable though hard to get aligned. so had to imagine a Vanishing Point for em. I used Distort tool to change the sketches about…you might see the ships slightly angular lean.

Thank you all kindly

Marley

#33

wow your comment only came thru this morning, a real time delay that one haha…but thank you yes agreed with you…I’ll finish this and move on, since there are still 50 days, it should be good

#34

light really dazzled my eyes in this picture. Very impressed :thumbsup:

#35

[font=Arial]Glorious work, love the light and feel of the water. Humble suggestion, to enhance the B-movie feel , maybe have the ships fight a giant horseshoe crab monster with expanded cranial area and huge glowing bug eyes powered by small flashlights, and maybe blue-crab claws (we couldn’t afford lobster). So you could have more of a B-movie feel (the crab with the putty brain) while making some cool lighting effects with the eyes…anyway best of luck and I agree what you have is a keeper.

All the best…

Hey Marley,

you’re off to a brilliant start and have already produced a poster image for a B-Movie I’d want to see. I love the way you’re creating the look of a water tank and model ships - that fits the genre perfectly. Maybe if some of those lights looked more like cheap light globes, or the hint of some strings holding the creature together or something. It’s a tough call because to do something like that somehow seems at odds with your beautiful style of illustration. So I leave it in your capable hands. But I love how it’s already looking

#37

again looks like minimal progress, but i actually experimented with blocking out most of the picture and putting in a sky. and various other tidbits, that can’t be seen here i might add…I think in the end the changes are mostly to the water

:bounce:hey cool mate, i appreciate that, thank you…now if only i can tone down the use of the word appreciate, i say that a lot :blush:

Korendo
Wow, thanks for the informative suggestion…Yea there will be a time that i will sit down and do more paint over work and try and make this more cheesy, see if i can get it to work…

many thanks 2 you, pal

You got the effect i was after, and comes with relief i tell you. haha…the crux of it all , mark is i should not be in this position in the first place. The scribble i did was about the manipulation of water from a cool creature, that was something i settled on after i saw 2 other pieces of creatures of unusual size and strenght trambling through a city while scared denizens flocked toward the screen…as could be seen in my first concept sketch…so in essence i’m happy but i should have looked further ahead than what i did… Thank you for the thoughtfull response

Hey you 3 thanks so much.

Marley

Wow… Fantastic work. I don’t have any crits or comments on your concept, just keep working it up.

One thing I would say is that your name ‘Mollusk the Glucken’ reminds me of a character from the Oddworld series - http://oddworldlibrary.net/toe/Molluck - but that’s not really important!

Keep going, you’re ‘leagues’ (oh!) ahead :smiley:

worked on water and some sky. :slight_smile:
