Has a private commission group produced anything great?

Its not earth, it's not the shells from the movie. You could slap the title 'Argo' or 'Jodorowsky's Dune' or 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey' and it would have as much to do with the those movies as the poster does with Arrival.

I love that Arrival poster. It's a re-imagining in the style of Jean Gireaud, and its why I was expecting more from the Dune project.35mmpaul wrote:don't get me wrong, aesthetically i like it. and it's well rendered.RottenAtom wrote:I bought that poster and I actually really dig it.

Shoutout to Paul for putting together a killer commission. Got this in today and man is it beautiful. This is a commission gone right.

Thanks man! Really glad so many people have been digging the print. I hope a few get curious and check out the film.
Couldn't think of anyone else to tackle the film and he knocked it out of the park for me.

There are a lot of licensed commissions in the works that still look betterBuckhammer wrote:Sure if you dont have studio restrictions, studio requests and you decide to completely break trademark and copyright law, SOME stuff could be better.Woo5lscott wrote:Some stuff is better than what Mondo could do
As a follow-up--I just received the Eres Arrival poster (was buying something else from Dark City Gallery, and decided to add this one while I was paying for shipping anyway). In person the colors are a lot more vivid than I was expecting, which is great, and the details are very nicely done. I love half-tone on screenprints--something about that technique in that medium is just very satisfying. Anyway, I know this print has a limited appeal, for a number of reasons but I'm happy with it.
By the way, the other print I ordered from DCG was another one that I would definitely nominate for "private commission producing anything great": Raid71's Tron poster.

That Stan and Vince The Blob is the best private commission I have seen in a very long time. And it's officially authorized ( I say authorized not licensed since it is not for public sale). Good job to those involved in that.

think that's one of the best things Thornley has ever done. Just not sure I "need" a Tron poster.

Chris is one of the artists I most look forward to seeing new work from, because he has so much variety and can surprise me. This is one of my favorites by him. I've long wanted a perfect Tron poster, and this one does it for me. It's a rare instance of the "kitchen sink" approach (a little bit of everything from the movie on one poster) being a total triumph. And while GID is often just a gimmick, Tron is a great title to have some glow.hunterjax wrote:think that's one of the best things Thornley has ever done. Just not sure I "need" a Tron poster.
(I know--it sounds like the hype train. Sorry--I just genuinely like this poster!)
totally agree with everything you said - still just not sure I, personally, would hang a tron posterethnosax wrote:Chris is one of the artists I most look forward to seeing new work from, because he has so much variety and can surprise me.
