Almar@Cult Labs | 16th July 2009 11:45 AM | Dawn of the Dead Blu-ray - Get Involved in The Artwork! Ok so it would seem that overall the majority of people have dug the all-new commissioned oil paintings that Arrow have had Rick Melton do for the first three Arrow titles and for everyone else they can flip over the sleeve to enjoy the cool originals.
Well for the Dawn of the Dead Blu-ray the intention is to get Rick to do an all-new painting plus offer a classic artwork on the flipside of the sleeve.
For me personally I've never thought any Dawn artwork has matched up to the epic quality of the film - it's tough to do because it's a landscape space - but I think WE should have a go.
This film is a legendary classic - we want the artwork to be brilliant - Rick can pull this off - I know it! BUT WHAT WILL HE PAINT?
Here's where I want input from you guys - what should Rick paint for the cover, how should it look, should it have any of the characters/lead zombies in it, should it be of a classic moment from the film like the zombies erupting through the lift doors, should it be something more abstract?
We want your ideas and plenty of them - don't worry about trying to provide lots of detail (but you're welcome to if you can describe how it looks in your head) - Rick is the guy who breathes life into it - but from lots of ideas from all of us could come the vision we'll get him to paint.
Other forums and sites are welcome to submit ideas as long as they have one member here to submit the idea through that they have all agreed on (a bit like a gruesome Eurovision). I know Jonny over at LoveLock&Load is going to get involved.
I'm really excited about this - we've got a chance to attempt to come up with the artwork that might finally do justice to Dawn of the Dead! :blush: |
