This is gonna be a great poster. Mark are you working with a scatter brush or using a disolve layer? I recently did a poster with a similar effect. So fun to work that way.

Thanks! I hope whoever I choose to print it is up to it.

Brush just the same custom one I made to color sand or concrete in comics... just a kind of blotchy shape set to dissolve.

I realize a lot of the detail I'm putting in to this stuff will get blown out when I actually shrink it down to be on the print. But my concern is investing these fake elements with as much micro detail as the photos of mountains and snow I'll be using so it all blends together without resorting to the easy way out and making everything in the foreground a silhouette.

Cool cool. Yeah I was doing a bit of dissolve work myself recently. Totally interesting results. If you spend enough time in there you can get some phenomenal detail. I think you're going about this the exact right way for a large screen printed piece. You'd be surprised at how much fine detail can translate to paper through a 305 mesh screen. Even if you lose a little bit of fidelity it'll still be a much more visually rich piece than if you did a silhouette. Stoked to see it all come together.

And just to nerd out a bit if any of you Thing fans haven't read Peter Watts' short story 'The Things' give it a look here. It's the movie from the perspective of the thing

Even if I am too old to use that word, so am I.

These "making of" updates are very cool, thank you sir. It is always nice to see how a finished product comes together step by step.

[cinematical]

This looks awesome.

[RelaxingDragon]

Lovin' the updates, and also the sloshed MacReady.

Though am I the only one who thinks the Dog looks a little too angry? I'm super-nitpicking here, but didn't it have a more calm expression pretty much the entire time it was on-screen?

[markenglert]

Don't worry, there's no way that dog's face will show up that well once it is done...

[markenglert]

Whew, base is done!

The man works fast!
