			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Based upon Director Mauricio Marin&#8217;s idea of having the lines of the road fading outward from the expressionistic<br />
facial lines of Danny Trejo (Samuel Lopez) this is the first in a series of posters for the film &#8220;Left Turn&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://kirkdunne.com/blog/?attachment_id=804" rel="attachment wp-att-804"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-804" title="LT_Poster_01_a_1350" src="http://kirkdunne.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/LT_Poster_01_a_1350-400x600.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>I finished this piece quickly, so what you see here will most likely be the first version with a more refined second<br />
version to come as I feel this could be fleshed out much more faithfully to Mauricio&#8217;s original idea.</p>
<p>But, for now v2 will wait as more and different art is to come for &#8220;Left Turn&#8221;.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a 1:1 detail, click through to see its full size;</p>
<p><a href="http://kirkdunne.com/blog/?attachment_id=805" rel="attachment wp-att-805"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-805" title="LT_Poster_01_a_Detail_01" src="http://kirkdunne.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/LT_Poster_01_a_Detail_01-600x600.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Technical Info;<br />
Painted in Photoshop CS5 in around 50 hours.</p>
<p>Because of how quickly I needed to completed this, it is only half sized at 12&#8243; x 18&#8243;, 300dpi.<br />
(v2 will be the standard 24&#8243; x 36&#8243;)</p>
<p>For the initial sketching and layout, I used VFX Workshops Pencil Brush Pack, available <a href="http://vfxworkshops.com" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>here</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p>For painting, I used mainly the default CS5 Mixer brushes. I have some custom<br />
Mixer brushes but they aren&#8217;t very far away from the default setup&#8217;s at all.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I had downloaded and got inspired  by the “Alice In Wonderland” free epub book for pc Kindle, available from the Project Gutenberg site <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
(they provide many formats and also carry a lot of other public domain books).</p>
<p>Painted in Photoshop CS5, on five layers in around 20 hours total.</p>

<p><em>After clicking the thumbs above, you will see a larger version AND an additional text link to download the full / original sized pieces. (they&#8217;re BIG)</em></p>
<p>A Photoshop CS5 sketch and painting. As far as the final painting goes; I wanted to experiment with a stylized look to the Octopus<br />
and I eventually chose to use two divided styles together; a tight cell-shaded line work laid atop a loose wet-on-wet painting below.</p>
<p>To play a bit further on divisions, I used a hard, flat wood surface to contrast the pliable, gelatinous characteristics of the Octopus.</p>
<p>The sketch was created at 2K, the painting made at 3K, with probably around 30 hours total put into making both.<br />
(about an hour or so for the sketch and with a good amount of the rest just being spent on various experimentation&#8217;s with the painting.)</p>
<p>Gotta admit, although I don&#8217;t eat Calamari often, this does kinda makes me wanna pull out a chopping board and skillet.</p>
