Continuing to work through the interplay of the digital painting and intaglio to build form and showcase the light and shadow across the portrait.

A New Hope

A New Hope

Star Wars alternative movie poster

Taking the day off to play…so that naturally means something related to Star Wars. This is an alternative movie poster for George Lucas’ original Star Wars using Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia as the poster’s central theme. 

Detail of Princess Leia

In the detail above you can see the play between the digital paint and the engraver’s intaglio. There are lots of layers building up the shaper of her face through the use of lots of custom brushes, patterns, and channel operations. 

These portraits were created using Adobe Illustrator, Corel Painter, and Adobe Photoshop.

Michael Corleone

Portrait of Al Pacino as Michael Corleone

I have written previously about my love for Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpieces, Godfather I & II, and the impact they had on me as a grandson of Italian immigrants to this nation. I have been working on another portrait from the films a young Al Pacino as the reluctant Don, Michael Corleone.

This portrait has a much rougher application of the intaglio technique in homage to J.C. Leyendecker and every other illustrator that has been working to capture his beautiful stylistic touches in his portraiture. I think it fits with the subject matter and that is one of the great things about this technique – it is perpetually fluid. I can adapt the courseness or fineness of the intaglio based on the brushes and scale to the canvas to allow it to impact the illustration. 

This portrait were created using Adobe Illustrator, Corel Painter, and Adobe Photoshop.

Although this was not Millie’s first role, it was the one that shot her to stardom due to her wonderful portrayal of Eleven. Although I have never tried to create anything from this series, I chose this year’s Stranger Things Day as an opportunity to pay homage to this series as we await the next season from the Duffer Brothers.
