Description
Jack and Sally stand on the hill, overlooking the pumpkin patch.
While not very original, I'll admit, I did try to add in elements not seen in any particular poster. Nightmare Before Christmas has always been one of my favorite movies of the season, so I thought this might be cool to do if nothing else for the practice that I've been out of lately.
Comments welcome.
Mostly Painted from scratch in Photoshop with some Vue Pro (finally got it to work) elements
The moon was created in Photoshop for an alpha plane in Vue, it then served as the backdrop. The twisty hill was created in LW by me and then exported into Vue. The terrain and pumpkins were also brought into Vue as well (with a light source in each pumpkin to light the eyes). Then I took the render into Photoshop where i handpainted Jack and Sally from a reference poster and wound up painting new faces on the pumpkins to make each one different since I only had one pumpkin model that fit the bill. I also added the fence and the grass by hand, as well as the title.

Wow! This is fantastic and true to the feeling of the movie! Just love Tim Burton's work and this captures it the essence of it.... Thanks for letting me know about it, I don't often hang out in the 2D gallery, would have missed it otherwise.... :~)
I think Mr. Burton should hire you to do the promo art for his remake of "Willy Wonka." :-) Your sense of color, composition, graphic layout, and the spirit of the film are all fantastic! Delightful work, a pleasure to view.
