It's a neat idea, but like the Star Wars Gabz timed edition... a lot of it is referencing existing publicity stills. I guess it makes approval a hell of a lot easier, but it's also makes it kinda boring.
Yeah, the problem with a lot of these is the approval process. It's why the Matt Taylor method is basically the go-to. And yeah, it isn't the most creative, sadly.It's a neat idea, but like the Star Wars Gabz timed edition... a lot of it is referencing existing publicity stills.

Looks like the site tanked. These will be up tomorrow, Tuesday, January 15th at 6pm ET.
Yep.Wasn't this originally used for some home release set? I can understand him bumping up the size in that case.
I began working on this piece of art way back in 1982 when I was commissioned by the Studio to explore concepts for the poster. I did one color comprehensive originally and from that made a few alterations as requested by the Studio. In the end, they did not use my design so I never painted the finished illustration.
In 2001, when Ridley Scott was thinking of releasing a new director's version of the film, I was asked if my original sketch from '82 could be used on the cover. It turned out that this was Ridley's favorite artwork for his film. I went through the usual artist angst, rather than use a comprehensive for the cover, better to use finished art and if I'm going to paint the finish should it be the 20-year-old design or should it be updated. I decided on the latter.
The DVD was produced at long last and this is now the cover (2007).
The Struzan is one of the quintessential pieces of Blade Runner art, but yeah I really hate the title. Will try to get the art print version for sure though.
To be honest, Paul Mann just wrapped up his BR commission and I may be a bit more excited for that one as something that will actually go up on my wall. There are a ton of Blade Runner prints out there (I already have way too many of them) but a surprisingly small number of them have the trifecta of title + credits + likenesses. Paul Mann's has all three in spades imo. And for movie prints, I find myself less and less interested these days in stuff that doesn't have credits. Just feels incomplete.
Totally agreed. There are exceptions, but on the whole I need those meaty credit blocks. Doesn't feel like a legit alternative movie poster without them.No credit block = no sale for me. It's a rare print that I'll buy that is missing them and I'm cool with it. There's a few commissions for The Office I'm in that aren't doing full blocks but the prints are looking great. That's the rare exception for me personally.
I'm in the commission for this one. Turned out really well.
Like with Eng, Ise's private commissions are her best work. Which is a bummer, but the commission runs are usually pretty big considering.I think I passed on that one because "Do I need another Ise?"
Should've jumped in.
That Spider-Man is dope. I actually prefer the vertical Ise Akira. I'm lucky to own a Stout Akira and I would hang hers despite already owning the Stout.

I saw it in her official Fans of Ise Ananphada group.Where was that Ise Akira commission originally announced? Some super exclusive group or one of the more "open" ones on FB?
Sorry I didn't see your post requesting a look at the horizontal until tonight.Oh wild. I had seen the vertical- it's so different my brain thought they were different releases entirely. Only really into the horizontal, the vertical feels much more like the normal style of Ise which is not my thing.
