A Tiger for Mea (Photoshop) www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php
Â
I have been drawing since I was 11, some 33 years ago.
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Knoss, was a great artist and I greatly admired his illustrations. He encouraged me to pursue my artistic interests at a crucial time in my development.
My High School art teacher "Vern", was also a great influence. He always challenged me to try different things.
I was lucky that my parents were very supportive of my interest in art. I studied at The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (1986-1990). Where I was humbled by many great artists that were far more talented than I. There it was that I rounded out my fine art skills, and then chose to major in Media Arts. Studied film, video and sound. Learned all the skills needed to shoot, direct, edit those mediums.
While pursuing a Media Arts major, I discovered computer graphics, still in it's infancy. This is where I came to an Epiphany. Here was a new medium, that incorporated everything I had previously learned into one new medium. Not only that, but it had new dimensions, interactivity, feedback, randomness, AI. I was hooked.
The next 17 years I learned and grew with the industry. Learning everything from how to create and manipulate digital imagery and create animations, to interface design and interactive authoring. My day job is an Information Architect, a fancy term for software interface design.
A few years back, my wife and I hit on some difficult times (As many people do) and it was during a very dark time in our lives that I discovered what became Renderosity, Initially I posted work, merely as a way to get myself back into the discipline of making new art.
I was delighted to find a world-wide community of talented artists, exchanging ideas and art!! I was thrilled! I have learned so much from you, and your art has brightened up my world. I am lucky to have made some great friends here, and I aim to do tributes to all of you!

I don't know how helpful any suggestions I made would be, as I haven't seen the movie poster. But I really love that little guy running away from his van! FWIW, I think it looks good so far.

DAMN but what a way to go huh?! YEEE HAAAA put 'em up you big babe! :P
dburdick
I love what you've done so far. I don't get what she's looking at. How about a fighter jet coming at her and have her looking at that.

I like the idea but I really couldn't give any advice on this one as I'm not a Poser expert nor fan!! Sorry! :(
Soulpainter
Not sure if i remember correctly or not but didnt she have blond hair in the movie? As far as color goes, might try sepia for that old movie look. I love the pose and entire scene, great job!
T.Rex
As a sketch this is fine. For the final render, try getting some realistic textures- should make it look excellent. She looks surprised by something- as dburdick says, a plane attacking her would make the point. Looks good in both color or black/white. (But where did she get all the cloth for such a huge, and strong, bikini?)

I think it's a good sense of scale.. I agree with both dburdick and with Whatche.. with the plane and the sepia color.! nice job so far!

Mea
It's a great start, but is there a finished version? I notice you usually link to finished images in the WIP. I'd love to see how this one finally turned out.
