New artwork, shock, horror!

Rejoice!! Some new artwork. As previously explained on this blog, my original Wacom graphics tablet pen was on its last legs and had been for a long time. It finally succumb to death and so a pursuit for a new one beckoned. And here are the fruits of my pursuit.

The first piece is experimental, depicting the fight between Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul on Tatooine from The Phantom Menace. My original plan was to have them in the far background but it just didn't work. So I brought them into the foreground dramtically.

This second piece is all to do with my Highlander high concept. When I say Highlander, I am referring to the films of which I'm a huge fan of. My idea is that the Immortals are fallen Angels, they just can't remember. Now if I were to rewrite Highlander I would never emphasis this fact. It would be very much in the background, transparent and merely hinted at for the eagle eyed. The start of the film would show this scene, only the camera would be falling through the sky and the Angel would only be seen in a couple of frames and barely visible. Basically you'd have to wait for the DVD to come out and do a frame-by-frame scan to see it (I've put a lot of thought into this). I just love film engimas like Blade Runner and that's what I would have done if I was writing this film. But sadly I'm not but I can still think about it at least.

Hopefully my next update wont be too far away.
