Flying Saucer Men From Beyond

 

This is my attempt at a B Movie poster. I actually really like how it turned out and it has the cheesy 1950's look and feel about it.

The storyline Ive thoguht of is the typical affair were Men/Aliens Come to earth in scaly costumes with laser guns threatening to take over earth and one hero has to bravely save the day and be heroic.

Time To get Nostaligic.

I really love old cheesy B Movie Science Fiction movies.

Mainly because there over the top ridculous effects you just laugh at but still find good.
Hamy Acting thats fun to watch because its so bad.

I like all elments that make a B movie Sci Fi here are a few psoters of some of my favourite films.

An article about the late great Herman Stein who composed most of the music for the 1950's and 60's B Movies.

Planets and crazy Trippyness

Basically Ive now created my own solar system called Septar. All my Planets are based of Egyption Deities. Here below is the image of them all together as one collective,

 

The Trippyness comes in the form of a motion graphics of some science fiction related abstractions I did,  here is an image from a scene in my motion graphics short film. I didn't upload it to the web but it is included on the DVD for Submission Along with my slideshow of my work.

Graphic novel before photos.

Here are the before photos of my two graphic novel ideas from the previous post.

The Time Traveler

 The Rivers Of Redato

My own graphic novel concepts and artwork

After playing around and not getting very far with the realms of HDR here is my next approach.


The Time Traveler

 

Having not really gotten anywhere with the desired effects of HDR I decided to use Photoshop to create images that could represent graphic novel covers or images within,  and even general book covers film posters, etc. Based upon my imagination within the realms of science fiction.

The image above was created using the Poster edges filter in Photoshop.

It gives the image a nice art deco feel about it. 

Plot The Time Traveler

A master who goes by the name The Time Traveler. He would be a villain that would go back in time. Committing heist style robberies holding up banks museums etc, sort of like a caper except he would only go to one specific time period but on different days. A scientist and a detective who team up to try and solve the mystery of The Time Traveler.

The Rivers Of Redato

 The visual stylings for this came about when came up with the concept for the graphic novel in question.  The promise of this ere red colour makes the photos stand out more and gives it an edgy dark feel to it. I simply experimented in using the smudge stick filter and then colouring the whole thing afterwards in a red Hue.

The Plot of The Rivers Of Redato

This idea is set way in the future on another galaxy a planet not to dissimilar to earth with humans living on it. Its about a group of people from scientists to army generals who go to the planet Redato to collect there water supply. The water on redato is said to give the drinker increased brain power and increase muscular mass. The explores will eventually be at competition with one another to survive the temptations and escape the planet unharmed by its natives and the climate. 

Orbiter,Marvel Graphic Novels And Hard Science Fiction.

I Enjoy reading lots of graphic novels I proably fit under the cliche of being a Marvel enthusiast. Why is this relevent you ask? Alot of Marvel comics deal with the theme of science fiction for example monsters from outer space, the super heros  how they got there powers etc. This is probably considered over the top Science fiction that goes all out to impress on the visuals and the empahasis on actions. 

Most people consider Marvel graphic novels to be what kids would read, but there are a load of adult orientated graphic novels even a few Spiderman ones dive into the more mature Gritty nature. Marvel Comics is all about over the top characters with ridiculous powers that are able to fight monsters and things from outerspace.  

Galactus (Marvel Villian)

A giant robotic man that can destroy whole planets and is the master of the silver surfer. 

Wanting to broaden my horisions in the world of graphic novels particulally science fiction.I stumbled across one called Orbiter. I havent read it yet but just liek the premise of it. As it has been out of stock on websites for a while.

Orbiter

 

Synopsis

Warren Ellis and Colleen Doran's acclaimed original Vertigo graphic novel. When a space shuttle crash lands on Earth after being missing for a decade, it unlocks a mystery that will unfold deep in outer space. Can a team of three specialists cheated out of their dream of spaceflight discover the nature of this bizarre space-borne anomaly? 

This comes under the category of hard science fiction which isn't you guns blazing space battling Star Wars, Its more a genre for thought provoking more mature themes within the realm of science fiction. Like 2001 A Space Oddessy, Blade Runner and Moon

Moon

Moon is about a lone man on a space station on the moon, with a robitc helper as he carries out his daily duties of minning resources for earth on it. It realise on character building and plot and is a very thought provocking film. Thus making it classfied as a hard science fiction. Even portrayed in two locations the moon surface itself and the sation it does well at developing the character and his emotion whilst working with no other human interaction.

Answer
