movie poster challenge - thor - explained

I started with the original Thor poster. I then took a self portrait in a similar pose and tried to get the same shadows to save some time in Photoshop.
I had to remove the original text in the poster, then apply my portrait and mask out everything but my face. The eyes were made blue. I had to widen my face a little bit (I didn´t realize my face was that narrow). Finally I had to write in the text back in, using the same Times New Roman font.
The colors in my face and eyes were created with Adjustment Layers.

Just for fun...

meeting tarantino

I just had the coolest dream where I met Quentin Tarantino and we`re in the car talking about movies.

I was telling him about everything I loved about his movies and also how Kubrick is another favorite of ours.

Unfortunately I suddenly woke up to the sounds of heavy gun fire... as I had fallen asleep on the couch with the tv on again.

I just remembered that yesterday I bought the DVD "Bande à Part", by Jean-Luc Godard... a movie from `64 that was a great inspiration to Tarantino and is the reason why his production company is called A Band Apart.

Maybe this is why he showed up in my dream.

I wish I could have talked to him more though...
