Darth is completely made up with every bit of dialogue from the non-extended edition of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. No omissions, no repeats. No stupid scene with Jabba the Hutt at Mos Eisley. The different shades of black are accomplished with different text size and spacing; it's all just 100% K black.Part one of my homage to the original Star Wars trilogy is done. I'm eying candidates for my Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi pieces. I'd like each to be an iconic image, and one that's important to the film it represents. Faces (rather than masks like ol' Darth here) aren't likely to turn out. My current candidates:
These are, by the way, not simply digital art. I intend to print and frame these as 10x10s. I may even consider putting them up on Etsy...One last thought, if you're not familiar with shirt.woot, well, now you are. Some real gems there, and they have their own typographical nod to the Star Wars universe. I give you, the @-@ (non-geeks, my apologies. You won't get it. So... this one is a visual joke that should be on everyone's level.)
And with that, the weekend is nearly over. So, an early happy Monday to everyone. Here's to a productive, creative week!
WOW!!! That looks AWESOME! I can't wait to see The Vade in person to really appreciate it fully. I hope you are keeping these for yourself and can reprint them if you decide to sell them on Etsy.
ReplyDeleteRe: the At-At joke, who would be reading this that isn't a geek? Don't all of us geeks stick together ;)
He'll be here if you ever want to come and take a peek. Well, not within the next week or so until I get him printed but.. yeah. Come on down. ;)
ReplyDeleteKelly doesn't even remember who Boba Fett is let alone know what an AT-AT is. She's only seen the movies once like ten years ago when I made her. I think we'll have a viewing soon. Tragic that she knows the new trilogy better than the good one.
