June Proko Challenge - My Life Movie Poster with Karla Ortiz

This is my poster design for the challenge. I missed the deadline unfortunately but still feedback is welcome. I chose to make the story of the movie something that reflects my increasing curiosity with Social Media. Particularly I've been interested in thinking about it as an anthropological question. How and why do I need to reckon with this tool? That is the conundrum and the main conflict in the would-be movie. I wanted the design of the poster to kind of evoke the vibe of a biographical character drama like The Social Network directed by David Fincher. Accordingly I made an illustration that focused closely on a single person central to the story - ME. Anyway I thought the Instagram post visual would be a fun gimmick to try. The illustration was drawn traditionally and rendered digitally. Let me know what you think.

I'm kind of embarrassed by this, but as I was re-examining the photos this morning that I took last night before the deadline, I realized there is a better one than the one I posted. The lighting is better, the lines are more crisp when I zoom in (and I added an extra piece of paper to "stretch" it to more correct dimensions; for some reason I didn't think it worked out last night). So I'm attaching it here because it pains me enough to know I didn't show a better photo of my work (I still need a better set-up for photographing my work because it never looks professional). Face-palm. Oh well, I'll know better next time to not reject an image before studying it closer! Has anyone else done that before? :-) Any tips for photographing (large) pencil drawings, especially ones that are on the light side?

Good afternoon or morning depending on where you are, I know this is literally last minute, but regardless, for this month's Proko challenge I decided create a cyberpunk movie titled "The Celestials'" which primarily focuses on the aspects of rebellion against authority. It begin on a space rig where one of the many unfortunate characters takes an unexpected opportunity to escape the powerful machine. In time the characters begin to fade into an alternate reality which is their actual reality and come to the conclusion that the world they previously lived in was a simulated computer game all-along.

Hi everyone! This is my submission for this great challenge. I created a poster for a history- war- drama film. History is a topic of great interest to me. The movie “1821” is about the Greek war for Independence, one of the most heroic and bloody struggles for independence, any people has ever waged.This was the revolution of the Romantic Age, inspiring painters, poets and patriots the world over, fired as much by Lord Byron ringing words and Delacroix’s brilliant paintings as by Greece’s seemingly hopeless plight. A conflict that stimulated the fall of the Ottoman Empire and shaped what we know as the Western World. The app that I used is Procreate.

Nature is my Home

Here are some sketches, thumbnails and finally and inked rendition of my submission. Im just working on the graphic design of the poster and then I will elaborate in fuller detail!

guys which one do you like more?

Hello everyone, i think i'm kind of running out of time, so i just wish i can finish on time this peace jajaj. It's a little bit of over ambitious for my current level but what the heck. To late to change course now jajaj So teh concept is that me being a huge fantasy fan and nerd of sort, i wanted to do the classic party adventure with colorfull characters. But i choose to portray my siblings as well, i love my brother and sister above all other things in the world, and kind of capture that feeling we had when we where yonger, screwing around and doing little mischiefs. And i believe that we will be toguether no matter what. So tha's it, im not nowhere near color studies so i will take the bullet and going raw in that so i could finish it in time ajja. Good luck to evryone. ;)

Hi all, this challenge was only brought to my attention two days ago, and I decided to give it a try anyway. Luckily, I did have something drawn during last month's MerMay art challenge that I figured I could use. I've always drawn military themes (tanks, guns, soldiers, etc), but on the flip side I also enjoy drawing beautiful and sensual mermaids. And I've been drawn to comic art for as long as I can remember, drawing inspiration from artists like J Scott Campbell, Frank Cho, Adam Hughes, Phil Noto, etc. So I combined these subjects into a story I've dubbed "SEAL Team 9", about a US Navy SEAL Team that has a few mermaids as part of the team. The first image was from the sketch I did during MerMay. The second is after cleaned it up and done some edits added flat colors and preparing to shade. I left some space at the top for the title, which I haven't figured out how to make the title font for. I figured I'd share a preview but especially wanted some critique.

Hello! here delayed with everything! but this is the idea: The film is about me and my voices (the critical voice that can catch you and lead you down a path of frustration as an artist) and the voice of hope and compassion. I spent a lot of time in the critical voice, comparing myself and basically hitting myself, it was difficult for me to draw because everything was wrong, until one day something changed, I decided to go back inside and listen to the other voice: "compare your drawings from Before with those from Today", since then I was free and returned to the path of art ♥ We will always have those voices but it is up to us which one to listen to. Regarding the drawing, I made these color palettes and I think I'll stick with option 1 but also option 2 with a small color variation of yellows and oranges

Update 3: So, this is nowhere near as complete as I thought it would be at this point, but I will be done by this weekend and ready for final submission. I have changed up the colors that I originally thought I would go with and pretty much just sticking to a basic color palette. I have to learn perspective better and how to add 'volume'? so things and people don't look so flat. In the end I am struggling as this piece isn't much better than I would expect from a kid, but I am reminding myself that a kid and I are at the same artistic level, so to get over myself and keep putting in the time. Speaking of time, that has been a bigger limitating factor than I originally thought. So, I am currently trying to bend and shift my energies and schedule to make time to practice and to work on fundamentals. I think this will be my last update until final submission which should be between Friday and Saturday night CST.

Hi, Proko Community! Been working on my Movie Poster. I love fantasy, mermaids and art, and I've been wanting to create a world filled with fantasy creatures for many years now. When I saw this proko challenge I knew I had to create a movie poster for that world. Here is a quick look at where I'm at right now. Step 1: Thumbnail sketches. I usually only sketch out 3 or 4 ideas but this time I did 16! Then I did a rough value study of the selected thumbnail. Step 2: Color comps. I used a gradient map in photoshop to throw in some colors just to get things started and then painted over it adding more colors. I decided to go with number 4:) Now the challenge will be to finish the painting before June 14th!

Hi! I've been obsessing over Folk Horror lately, so I ended up with this little WIP. The idea is to show my wife and myself behind our son, who is about to embark on his life's journey - into the unknown, and all that. As a father and husband, this represents my own life in many ways, so I hope this isn't too out of bounds concerning the prompt. Cheers!

Heheh, uh, I started a bit late but I'm doing oil on canvas, approximately 23.7x36 (around .88% of the poster size). Hope I can get done in time. Oils take a while to dry so I've been using a medium to help speed it along. I have a lot of things to fix but I can't add too much with seven days to complete.

Hey there, I did the poster in A4 Format (Landscape) which was not the resolution that was mentioned in the guidelines ( Unfortunately I realized this mistake today when I was going to submit my work ) Just wanted to know if that would be okay @Kristian Nee . Thanks

So this is my color lay in. The concept is based on a poem I wrote a while back, called Miracle. It's about constantly moving forward, chasing something distant and undefined. I wanted to give it a slight fantasy/ethno/adventure twist. Does that come through? Any critique, especially on the background, is welcome.

Hey there! Can I make a motion design as my submission? It wasn't specified anywhere sooo... :) @Kristian Nee maybe you could tell me :D thanks

So, i almost finished the scene, i already "orcified" my face, i'll have to ask my girl to pose for me so i can do the same with her-that should be fun:D I'm especially proud of the vegan bagXD and i'm really not sure what to do wtih the background... I tried different things, this came out the best but i think it could still be better. I fixed the things Edwin Lozano pointed out, the child is now bigger and i added "sale" banner to compensate for the hammer... Any comments are more than welcome!
