syd mead/blade runner homage
This is some cover art for the new issue of ImagineFX magazine. I was asked to create some artwork paying homage to the movie Blade Runner and to the design work of Syd Mead. I also put together a step-by-step walkthrough along with the original layered Photoshop file on the included DVD. In case you're wondering about the curious composition and blank spaces, they are the areas that will be covered or obscured by text and logos on the magazine cover.
I wish I had had a little more time to put into it, but I had about a week's time in which I was also trying to knock down a few other deadlines. Woulda coulda shoulda.
Anyway I hope you like it!

“This might help, look — a manticore savaged someone in 1296, and they let the manticore off — oh — no, that was only because everyone was too scared to go near it. …”
Meanwhile, in the rest of the castle, the usual magnificent Christmas decorations had been put up, despite the fact that hardly any of the students remained to enjoy them. Thick streamers of holly and mistletoe were strung along the corridors, mysterious lights shone from inside every suit of armor, and the Great Hall was filled with its usual twelve Christmas trees, glittering with golden stars. A powerful and delicious smell of cooking pervaded the cor¬ridors, and by Christmas Eve, it had grown so strong that even Scabbers poked his nose out of the shelter of Ron’s pocket to sniff hopefully at the air.

and on the water a single isle.
The ripe sweetness of the summer dripped

and straight into my opened heart
a tiny drop ran down
