Indiana Jones


This was my pick for a theme week, so I've tried to put the effort in. That said, I couldn't finish it in time. I've put over 2 and a half days into it already, it's like an artistic black hole.

Two of the biggest influences on my young life have been Raiders Of The Lost Ark( and of course the sequels), and the work of Drew Struzan. It's hard to decide which inspires me more. So this is my attempt at an homage to both the Indy movies(original trilogy, though I did really enjoy most of Crystal Skull) and Drew-Stru.

This is amazing! It totally captures the feel of the old posters and the movies themselves. The composition is perfect!

Stephen Thompson said...

Excellent stuff. I think for contrast I'll just draw a close-up of his hat or something.

Lovely piece man. It'd be a crime against Justice itself to not finish it.

Stephen Mooney said...

Well, Crime could be about to claim a victory I'm afraid...

Leigh G said...

Blimey, that's good!
Yeah, bloody finish it Mooney! Tell yourself--did Indy give up when he was hanging onto that rope bridge and that bloke was trying to rip his heart out? No! He beat the shit out of him!

Stephen Mooney said...

Yeah, but that didn't take like 2 days...
