added comment inProko Challenge My Life Movie Poster - FINAL SUBMISSIONS HERE
I haven’t got much to say apart from: thank you Proko for giving me a motive to finally practice graphic design. It really was an interesting journey- revisiting these memories - and I am happy to share a glimpse of it. Inspired by old thriller/detective movie posters.
Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all. I'm glad to participate to this challenge, the theme is really inspiring. So here is the movie poster of my life, entitled "Time, love & chaos". It would be a science fiction movie about time travel. I find Time to be something fascinating, both from a physical and philosophical point of view. For the past two years I've been working a lot on my drawing skills in order to become a professional illustrator and concept artist, and I had a real problem with Time. Either it passed too quickly, or not quickly enough and I often thought it would be nice if someone invented time travel!
Good luck to everyone :-)
Aye! So here is my entry for this month’s challenge :)
(Content warning: a lot of mentions of death)
As you can tell I took quite the different approach to this one, that has a few reasons which ill explain in a second.
First of all, I don’t really see myself as the main character, that’s just not my role. For me its much rather about the themes, thoughts and views I can show to others, nearly completely separated from me as a person.
Further more I wanted to create not only a good poster, but also a good potential movie that I would buy tickets for and be exited to watch! Thusfore I also planned out a rough story Idea:
The plot is about an ancient deity of death named Atlas and an old blood hound that goes by Foster. Atlas himself is not the cause of death, but rather the one that guides the dying and the dead into the afterlife. However, he has lived for countless of decades and has seen how gruesome humanity can be. He has grown quite the dislike for people and therefore tends to stick with animals. One day he meets Foster though, he lived on the streets for quite some time now and looked accordingly, however Atlas decides to grant him a second chance and they both stray though cities, villages and nature. What surprises him is that this dog, that by the looks of it, humanity has never treated with respect or love, has so much kindness left for even those people. And over time he has to question his views on humanity.
This might be a bit disconnected from the prompt when you hear it at first, but let me explain.
Both Atlas and Foster represent parts of my personality and viewpoints. Death has always played a huge role in my life but over time I began to see a strange beauty in it. I’m pretty young still (im 17) but I had my fair share of losses, each one making me appreciate life more and more. Nowadays I am a hobby taxidermist, so now its literally part of my life to make death appear beautiful. I find joy in giving these passed animals a second eternal life. In a sense they become immortal. And that’s exactly the background to Atlas. Death deities in this world are creatures that showed compassion and acted on altruism, but dies way before their time and were given a second life to guide those dying. Forster on the other hand is just as big of a part of me. I love this world. Every last bit of it, the good and the bad. Hearing people stories, sharing a part of their lives is what makes me happy. People are amazing and I think that’s not appreciated nearly enough!
Thanks for reading all of this and I hope I could share a part of my life this time around :D
Hey there! this is my submission, I was born in Japan, but I didn't went back there since I was a Kid. So, I tryied to express a personal desire and something wich I consume a lot (tv show With people travelling and discovering the traditional Japan). For the genre, It is clearly an animation, and I tryied to give some Studio Ghibli vibes. Hope you enjoy this. Thank you all in advance :)
Hi! I had so much fun working on this project, and lots of experimentation happened. Thank you, Proko, for making this possible! At first, I was going for more of a fantasy film but ended up with action, criminal drama haha. Well, everyone's life needs some flavor! Lots of VFX too... Surprisingly I did not go for an animated film!
This movie is pretty much dedicated to anyone who wants to be an artist and their journeys' to get there.
Synopsis: Everyone starts somewhere, but at some point, everybody was just a beginner. Through life, we race, run and practice to get slightly closer to those who made it. Each stroke, line, and piece slowly builds up our experience. However, each artwork is a mystery of its own. A crime that everyone approaches differently. We shoot our shots in hope of hitting a target. Looking up to those we admire. Living life in a rush, trying not to give up. Trying not to listen to the voice deep inside of us that whispers to you that you aren't good enough, you won't make it. However, the moment we open our eyes, see the world for what it can be. See the work others created. You cannot hide what you truly love. So make your shot...
Hi everyone! So i am experimenting lately with more minimal designs while painting.
Title: En las Nubes
(roughly translated to "Daydreaming" if i'm right)
Travelling has being a part of my life both as something i like to do (as a hobby) and also for work. This later years i have being really inclined towards creation, which i think is what calls me more, so for me, is kind of a trip inside my own mind.
This poster is about my art journey, specifically when the pandemic hit, and I had just turned 30.
Growing up, I was discouraged from pursuing art in any way and was sometimes even told that I'm not talented enough to be an artist.
They may be right about my lack of talent. But part of my quarter-life crisis was this realization that even in art, if you put in the effort, you improve. I feel like age 30 was when I really embraced this idea and started to commit work towards it.
Getting back to the poster, the zombies in the background are everything in my life that was holding me back from fully connecting with art, such as self-doubt and lack of self-agency. I broke out of the prison that I grew up in, took a swing at the zombies, and gained a couple of art skill points along the way (hence the paint on my spiky baseball bat and clothes). Maybe due to the abruptness of the escape, I don't feel perfectly equipped to navigate the art world yet, like a freshly made game character that's still picking up gears from tutorial quests. So that's why I'm walking around barefoot.
Well, that's about it for the summary, haha. Thank you for reading this far, and good luck everyone! :)
"THE MAKER"
The scene represents the hunger for creativity that awakened my imaginative side since I was a child. I have always been inventing new worlds and scenarios, at first to be able to create context when I was playing with my toys and currently in my professional life as an architect and concept artist.
I hope I could transmit the duality between being a human being in a physical world and a global creator in an imaginative one. And being a global creator is not easy, a lot of multitasking involved... but all the time and effort pays off when that moment of illumination enlightens your life and it is impossible to think in anything but developing that amazing idea just witnessed in your head.
It is inspired in those movies that merge thriller,horror and Sci-Fi. Digitally painted from scratch. Hope you like it!
Hello everyone, here’s my entry to this month's Proko challenge. The movie’s name is CHICKEN-REX Hunters, it’s a story about surviving in a dangerous world that was destroyed by giant genetically modified chickens (and other foods, but no spoilers here). A guy needs to venture with his faithful dog, Nilo, in search of medicine for his people, the only problem, the ingredients exist only in deep Chicken-Rex infested territory, luckily he finds an experienced Chicken-Rex Hunter, Renata, and maybe with her guidance he can help his people.
Hi everybody,
Here's my sci-fi horror movie poster featuring me and my struggle into this life and art journey.
This movie is called Hourglass because I feel like I'm running out of time.
I started drawing again at 26 years old after not drawing since I was a kid.
I'm now 29 and have so much too learn still.
In the picture you can see an hourglass representing the time flying by
as the sand is falling on my head, wearing a space helmet at the bottom of the hourglass.
I'm looking at myself running saying in my head: you got this!
The thing is, the road to get to my goals is not easy. Two of my inner demons are there to prevent me from
reach it. At the top we meet 2 of my demons: Impostorus Syndromus and Selfus-sabotagus (really originaljp...)
At the base of my foot there is a broken chain, this means that rediscovering art helped me freeing myself
and liberated me.
Slowly I'm getting rid of my demons and can draw freely like when I was a kid...
Hope this resonate with some of you.
This was done on Blender and Procreate.
