My good friend Ivan Brandon (of 'NYC MECH' fame) brought it to my attention that he didn't know that I had done an image for the opening credits for the 'UltraViolet' movie, nor had he seen the film. I don't know if those images are available online somewhere, but for Ivan's sake I'm putting up the one I did - along with the rough and the B&W stage for reference.The 'rough' version has a splash of color thrown in so that when I sent it in for approval, the powers-that-be can sort of make out the image I was going for. They told me how much they liked the effect and that's why I executed the same technique for the final cover. I don't know if they (the movie production company) eventually used the logo I came up with in the final/colored version, but that wasn't my primary concern. I was (am) in the company of some pretty damn impressive illustrators in that opening title seuqence - I just didn't want to be the weakest link.

I havent seen the movie and from the reviews I got from various people, it's not worth watching except for the opening sequence where all the cool art is featured.
I think your piece is very dynamic. I get the sense that the creatures attacking don't even realize yet that they've been sliced up.
so ivan asks you and you post it immediately. I ask you and it takes almost a year. i'll remember this canete.
wow. Incredible style. They definitely don't know they've been done in. I love the Iron Man post too! You just did my two favourite versions of him! Weird.
poor dustin. always so oppressed. T_T
hey guys.
jon - i've seen the movie and um...well, it was a movie alright. the opening sequence was awesome.
dustin - if i did everything you asked me to do right away, i'd have paid you back for all that money i owe you! dood, i'm not about to do that.
warren - thanks for the commnets, man. the original idea for the UV was that they were supposed to be in business suits of some type (in the rough you can see i had put in some sunglasses flipping off the guy's head in the foreground). but after drawing them sans clothing i thought that it made the image easier to read. and yeah, those are my favorite iron men(?) too: grey and red/gold with horns.
ed - he ain't oppressed. oppressed people don't get creator owned books from Wildstorm and a bazillion dollar page rate. dustin's a rockstar.
