For the second Filmdoo entry, I've chosen to make a poster for the film "Waking Life":
I'm thumbnailing this poster this time as I want to make a more conceptually driven image appropriate for the surreal nature of the film.
Initially, I wanted to try and incorporate the title of the film into the design a bit more by having text that was on the pillow, wrinkled:
But I felt that as a whole this didn't look good and felt a bit awkward when placed with the rest of the composition. Therefore I settled on somewhat goofy handwritten type to match the weird art style of the film (which I also tried to capture somewhat with my colouring/shading/job)
I'm more pleased with this poster as an illustration than I am with the last one due to the more interesting concept and approach to image making I took. Not using outlines is also not something I usually do, so it's interesting to see how my work turned out given this restriction I placed on myself. One thing I'm not so pleased with is the arm - I'm not sure it looks like it's floating up and reaching for the bed. I figure if someone has seen the film, they'll be able to guess what's going on, but otherwise the hand probably could've been more carefully drawn.
