Final version of the art piece.

It includes a skull face paint Kiwi because I thought it was cute.

 

[Patty Hitler]

post a version of your entry with movie ad poster style text on it.

Can't seem to edit my previous post, but here is the original then a movie poster alternate :

 

[Nicholas II of Russia]

All of these are amazing works. My particular favorite is the one made by Patty Hitler, that kiwi with the witch hat is so freaking adorable.

I can't edit my previous post, here's the movie poster version

Spoiler: original image

 

[Ice Mountain]

Can't edit my first post anymore, but I fixed this thing to look more like a movie poster and less like it was half-assedly overlaid with my wretched chickenscratch (which, admittedly, it kinda was).

More a combination of old 60's horror movie posters and horror comics of the era. MSPaint & GIMP, 2000x3000px

A reference to the tale of Stingy Jack. Instead it's our dear feeder, forced to wander the earth looking for a home(host), caught in the purgatory of baste and crinch -unable to truly be either. He trapped the devil between silver coins, with chrischan's mug on the inner side lel

IT'S DONE! IT'S FINALLY DONE!



Sweet lord this took so much longer than I anticipated. I've worked on this for about 5-6 hours every night since the 6th and I'm so glad it's finished. I swear if I kept going I would've started hallucinating Graeme's face peering at me through the gaps of doors or lurking in the shadows. That being said I'm proud I saw this through to the end. I always liked Zombie better than Dawn of the Dead so what better way to show my love for Lucio Fulci's undead masterpiece by combining it with one of my favourite (and sadly missed) lolcows?

There's also a reference to a particular scene from the original film included, but I won't say where. You'll have to find it by yourselves!

Spoiler: no text

I only read the request to make everything a movie poster style until I was about halfway done, whoops. Think it worked out though

 

[سلیمان عثمان]

make a spooky movie poster for a film called "Parasocial Activity"

Crude work and probably not really what you wanted but you get what you pay for.

I love this so much. Getting it to look that good and detailed while using a uniform line weight must have been hella difficult

I really hope it's clear what I'm going for here.

little shop of horrors! nicely done!

 

[Kaktus Kompot]

I looked up old horror movie posters for inspiration, saw this photo of Hitchcock with the birds and immediately knew what I had to do.

I usually draw monochrome lineart, so doing a whole coloured poster was a bit of a challenge, but I'm pretty happy with the result.
The Ethernet cable noose-tie as a representation of censorship inspired by @Corydoras 's drawing.

What kind of technique did you use for the colouring? It looks amazing! Was this done in MsPaint? How did you choose your colours?

Thanks, I used Aseprite, which is basically more complex Paint made specifically for pixel art. I started with a simple Halloween-y 5 colour palette and then added more as I drew. The technique isn't complicated - first paint bucket all empty spaces as base, then use spray paint tool to add gradients. Aseprite has a useful "shading" function for brushes that only replaces 1 colour instead of drawing over everything, so it's easy to work on a specific part without getting out of borders (that way you can draw the whole picture on a single layer. I used to use the same technique when I drew in Paint, the eraser does a similar color replace function). Anyway, I'm glad you liked it.

 

[Kaktus Kompot]

Didn't notice that you also had to include poster text, my bad.
Can't edit the previous message, so I'd appreciate if mods merged the doublepost.

The art in this thread looks neat so far, keep up the nice work. As for @SuperConglomerateWhale, this image is for you.

Truly a horror fantasy (now with 80s TV version).
