2D Week 04 - Composition

For this week's assignment, we were to look at some of the art of famed movie poster artist Drew Struzan. We were to take one of his pieces and trying to recreate it while paying attention to the layout of the art. I chose the poster for John Carpenter's The Thing, a staple in my October horror movie nights.

I think that the human shape and radiating light turned out well, but I struggled with the colors near the monster's feet. 

There is no doubt that the poster has a strong radial component emanating from its head. I also thought that the pose had the iconic diamond in it, though I also considered that it may be a distorted cross shape to add to the imposing and unearthly visage of the Thing.
