Punk rock gig poster for a smashing veteran band from the States coming to Winnipeg. The figure is from a little plastic toy figure that I photographed.
Below is a copy of the poster I recently rescued from a pole. It was all hacked to sh_t and was dangling by a piece of tape. It was the only one I had actually seen up and I thought that nobody else was really going to be seeing it, considering it's condition, so I rescued it.
While watching the movie Monster Zero I did a quick sketch of one of the aliens. I liked it enough that on my Godzilla Weekend (see Smashmonster blog) I created a fuller illustration of the X-Seijin alien. (above)
I wanted to submit the drawing to a Godzilla fan magazine but I thought I should see if my reproduc-tion was close enough to how they were portrayed in the movie. Yeah, it was close enough but really, just by going with my sketch, it was quite a bit different, so I did another version. The first one is in fact more alien like, but the bottom one is more like the movie. It's interesting to work from loose sketches of something you saw and to work from your memory as they create more original work. That is if your not worried about their outcome.
