My Godfather banner - 01/19/05 03:44 AM
Hey everyone, I have returned from the shadows, with something for everyone to take a gander at.
Remember a long time ago I said I would do a banner based on "The Godfather", both the film and the novel? Well, I did it, and if ya want to see it, I'll post the link

Hope you guys like the piece, it's one of my favorites, as well as the hardest one to date.

Not THAT good.
It's certainly a prtfolio piece, though someone suggested I send it out, make it a poster to sell...
I'm thinking about it.

so, tell u guys how I did it
Well... I borrowed an image from this site, (The one where Michael Corleone becomes the new Godfather) cropped the image that I wanted and toned down the contrast and opacity.
Then, I re-read the book and carefully highlighted the lines that refer, talk about, describe, or said by Michael Corleone not wishing to be a part of the family business. It then culminates up to the scene where Mike describes about killing Sollozzo and McClusky. Then I type each line, word for word, using different fonts and such until all those lines were completed in the darkened portions of the image.
Call it my version of duality.

10%? Sure, why not?
and I'll be sure to stamp ur website on the posters.
I also have the site linked to my webcomic "The Crazy Man", cuz of course, the Godfather is an inspiration to my comic strip
