I wanted to visualise the weight that was thrusted upon Miles during the opening moments of the film. I've also always wanted to create a mirrored effect poster as I find it interesting and it gives me a kaleidoscope vibe.
On the right side, everything is normal, it's the characters on their own, being themselves. On the left side, we have the characters glitched and effected by the collider.
I used this piece to improve my skills within digital painting and composition.
One of my most challenging projects that I've done. I set out to make something that truly captured the essence of the movie. I wanted to capture the colours, effects and the pop art/comic strip style imagery.
While being the most challenging, I also had a blast creating it. I learnt new tricks and used this as a chance to practice what I'd learnt before hand. The piece actually introduced me to heavy use of photoshop brushes and patterns. While I create the majority of my work in Illustrator, I made an effort to move between this and photoshop in order to guarantee myself some effects.
I had also created the Prowler piece weeks prior to this with no luck in finding somewhere to place it, so this was a joy!
I created this almost immediately after my piece titled 'It's a Helluva Freakin' Light show'. When making my initial sketches I knew I wanted to go with something a little more grounded and dramatic.
Similar to the previous piece, I utilised Photoshop for the brush capability. I wanted to create a smokey, dust effect and while I'm not entirely happy with the outcome, I still feel like I achieved the basic idea.
The piece as a whole is designed to capture the relationship between Miles and Uncle Arran (The Prowler) and I felt that having him in the reflection of the eyes was the best way to do this. The Prowler will always be there no matter what he does while at the same time it can be interpreted as Uncle Arran always being with Miles once we reach a specific point in the movie.
This was the first Spider-Man piece that I did. I was in a bit of a creative rut and had no new ideas. Suddenly, after watching the movie a few days prior, an idea appeared. I wanted to created a piece based around the scene where Miles first meets the Peter Parker from his Earth.
My inspiration was the idea that, while Miles felt incredibly alone within his world, he was almost anything but alone. I used the quote "I thought I was the only one" as a setting stone for the piece and really wanted to incorporate that line. I took note on the style and aesthetics of the movie itself that enabled me to create what you see here.
Also, you'll notice that the colours I use within this piece are carried over through to the other Spider-Man pieces I've done.
Purely a brush case study for myself. This was the first time I'd really experimented with brushes and patterns. I've taken what I learnt and applied it to many of my future projects.
