Oh my! I did this in about 2 hours of work with Adobe Illustrator CS3 only.

I know the movie is not quite as good as the graphic novel, but I like the movie still. I think it has great visuals thanks to that perfect Fawkes mask design.

So I saw the movie the other day and this image got stuck in my head. It is not from the movie, but the idea of the government desperately trying to capture and stop V — showed by the Wanted poster — in contrast with the people's response to the government's oppresion — showed by the painted V on the wall, seemed a cool concept to draw.

There is also a black and white version that you can see at my deviantart.com profile.

So here it is. How do you like it?

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. — Harvey Dent

I'm finishing my Dark Knight trilogy of illustrations with this one.

We all know the Joker stole the show on that movie, but, to be honest, The Dark Knight plot moves around Harvey Dent's story arc. Christopher Nolan is a master storyteller by representing this character as a symbol of hope in Gotham City that went all the way down.

Both the character and the acting were a surprise by me, and though I went to see the movie with Heath Ledger's Joker in mind, it is now that I have seen the movie on DVD that Two Face's arc catches my eye.

So, I guess Nolan, as the Joker, had an ace in the hole: Harvey.

You can see the other two TDK illustrations here:

Hello! After finishing my 6 poster marathon about the Star Wars saga, I had no idea what movie should I illustrate now. Some people have told me that I must draw The Godfather, or Trainspotting, or some other great movies.

In the meantime, I've been sketching some ideas, but one of my favorite sketches was this Batman, based on the Christopher Nolan's movies. Some of the best superhero movies ever done, being The Dark Knight one of the best movies of all time.

I liked it so much that I decided to make it a poster to go along the one I did of the Joker. Both look great side by side!

I've already printed some posters and later I'll post some photographs of them, so you can see quality and color. They look great!

I'm a jedi, like my father before me — Luke Skywalker

FINALLY!!! All six Star Wars posters are finished! The last one is definitely one of my favorites.

I wanted to mirror the Episode III illustration, but contrasting it with basically no action, just Vader and Luke staring at one another, a duel of will more than a duel of sabers.

I really liked the general black and blue theme, with the Death Star window and stars in the background.

Emperor Palpatine was a bit of a challenge, since I wanted a stylish version of him but with no loss of his facial scars. His eyes, hand and the flow of his cape look really cool!

So the Star Wars series of posters is done and if you want a printed version of them, you can send me a mail.

The cost of each 120 x 90 cm. poster is $55 USD (plus shipping) but if you buy all 6, I'll give you a $30 USD discount!

You can also buy the 60 x 90 cm. versions for $40 USD each, plus shipping.

Impressive… most impressive — Darth Vader

Here's the fifth poster of the Star Wars Saga. Sorry it took a bit more to finish it, but last week was a bit rough.

Anyway, this illustration is one of the darkest I've done in tone and concept. I know there are more... iconic scenes from The Empire Strikes Back, but the image of Han Solo frozen in carbonite is burned in my head since I was a child. That's why I wanted to use it. I really liked how it looks in the end, since it was difficult to find the right colors to use and the right contrast.

On the other hand, I like how I'm mirroring Anakin's visual arc of the first three illustrations in Luke's visual arc of the last three. We can see here a weary, yet immature Luke. I'm looking forward to draw him as the full-fledged jedi he is Return of the Jedi!

If you don't know yet, you can purchase poster-size versions of this and the other illustrations I've done. Contact me if you want to buy them!

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope. — Princess Leia Organa

The weekend finally arrives! And with it, another illustration.

This time, it's the fourth poster from de Star Wars saga, based on the original film now known as Episode IV - A new hope.

After an intense and dynamic composition for Episode III, I went for a more innocent – almost naive – approach for this one. After all, the theme of this movie is more light-hearted. I had another composition in mind for this poster, but I changed my mind after seeing some pictures of young Luke Skywalker looking over the Tatooine landscape, that inspired me to illustrate him as the background character with that eager, hopeful stare. It looks really cool in my opinion!

In other news, I printed this week a test to check quality and color of all illustrations so far, and they look gorgeous! Everyone who has seen them thought they're awesome and even some have been asking for printed versions of their favorites.

One of the most powerful movies of the saga, — although many don't like the prequel trilogy— and also one of my favorites (it has its flaws, I admit that, but I enjoyed it anyway).

The duel of the fates, between Anakin and Obi-Wan, the downfall of the Republic, the rise of the Empire and above all, the rise of Lord Darth Vader, it all happens here. What a fan fest!

I really enjoyed making this illustration, especially Anakin's face, it's so intense and furious! Vader also looks amazing in my opinion. I was a bit afraid of applying the cartoony style I'm using on him, but it ended up looking much better than I expected.

I hope you like it. Please, leave a comment and tell me what you think about it. Of course, the printed version is for sale, so If you want it contact me.

Today's my birthday! So to celebrate this moment, I'm posting two illustrations instead of just one. Both are part of my At the Movies series and also part of the Star Wars saga.

A friend of my wife (hello Chong!) asked me for printed versions of the six Star Wars movies illustrated, so that motivated me to draw them.

People who know me, know that I'm a fan of the Saga since my childhood, so there is some extra affection on this drawings. I changed the style a bit to resemble a pulp movie style. I hope you like them!

Right know I'm working on the third episode, but I'm hoping to have all six by the end of August.

As you know, if you would like some prints, you can contact me.

Costs:
1 printed poster (big size: 90 x 120 cms / 35 x 47 inches): $55 USD plus shipping.
1 printed poster (medium size: 60 x 90 cms / 23 x 35 inches): $40 USD plus shipping.

BIG OFFER!!

Did you knew that the late Heath Ledger acted on The Dark Knight? Because honestly, I never saw him in the movie. As writer/director/fanboy Kevin Smith said, the actor completely disapeared behind the Joker character.

Every line of dialog, every gesture, everything from this character just left me breathless! Impressive!

And, although I considered not to include any comic-based film on my At the Movies series, I thought this one deserved a chance. So here's my latest artwork, based on one of the most cynical scenes of the Joker, applauding in jail at Gordon's promotion.

This is also a modest homage to one of Hollywood's finest actors in one of the most memorable performances of the decade.

In case you want a printed poster of this illustration, just let me know it and I'll even give you a desktop wallpaper for free!

In the meantime, make your comments and tell me your thoughts on this illustration.

When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep… and you're never really awake. — The Narrator

The first time I saw this movie, was with a couple of friends from College. We left the movie theater in shock! A great reflexion of today's consumer-driven society.

Fight Club was an incredibly well done movie. One of the things that caught my eye the most was that pseudo-love triangle between Tyler Durden, Marla Singer and the Narrator. Or, to put it in Edward Norton's memorable description: Marla... the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it, but you can't.

That scene inspired me to do this illustration, wich I enjoyed drawing.

So what are your thoughts of it? Please contact me if you're interested in a printed poster!

That woman deserves her revenge and we… deserve to die. — Budd

So, this was my first illustration from the At the Movies series. Definitely one of my favorites films.

Obviously, this piece of art references the Vol.1, If I come with an interesting concept, I'll do a poster from the Vol.2 – perhaps Beatrix Kiddo vs. Elle Driver, or even vs. Bill himself! I don't know yet, for now, I have this one that I like a lot!

How do you like it? Would you like to have this hanging on your favorite wall? Believe me it will look impressive! Contact me if you're interested in a printed poster.
