Early Movie Concept Art: Scrapped Depictions from ‘Dark Knight Rises,’ ‘Twilight’ and More. It’s no secret we’re a little more than obsessed with early movie concept art and discovering how some of our favorite characters could have been rendered on the big screen, so don’t you think it’s time we went in for another deep dive into the film archives?
What would Bane from ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ have looked like with a mask more attune with the comic and cartoon imaginings? Or Loki, who’s become a favorite among cosplayers since ‘The Avengers‘ took over the 2012 summer blockbuster slot? After bringing you some of the early concept designs and sketches for ‘Shrek,’ ‘Star Wars,’ ‘X-Men‘ and the like, here are even more examples of movie character conceptions that didn’t make the final cut, both from studio archives and concept artist portfolios.
Bane, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Catwoman, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Leatherface, ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ Loki, ‘Thor’ ‘Daredevil’ ‘The Green Lantern’ The Lizard, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Vampire Coven Members, ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ Mics: Moebius’ last work….. Wow.
Just wow. Via The Airtight Garage: Just before he died, Moebius was hired by the French town/commune of Montrouge to design an elaborate mural for the cultural center within their primary governmental building(I apologize, but I’m not particularly clear on the regional nomenclature concerning these things). He died before the painting began, but the mural team 7th Sense completed it in September of 2012.
It is 170 square meters(about 550 feet)… and I mean just look at this thing.Here you can watch footage of the opening, which includes a brief talk with Isabelle Giraud(in French), Moebius’ widow. artComicsMoebius. Diseño, ilustración y artes gráficas en imágenes. Filbo 2012 « Mucho talento en el pabellón de las artes visuales, pero deja la impresión que no hay una verdadera interacción entre artistas, ilustradores, caricaturistas, diseñadores y demás involucrados. Este espacio debería ser para compartir experiencias, tendencias y para que estos grandes talentos compartan un poco de esto, de su conocimiento y experiencia con los mas jóvenes, de manera abierta y gratuita.
Se respira un aire de individualidad y de competencia por ganar clientes, por vender, que no tiene nada de malo, pero los visitantes esperan mas que eso, si quiero comprarme un comic caro, porque lo son, no tengo que ir a la feria del libro y no tengo que trasladarme tan lejos y pagar la entrada. Es triste pensar que algunos stands no permitan las fotografías, eso demuestra que no tienen la menor idea de comercializar sus productos.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword UK-based artist Nic Joly is well-versed in all kinds of creative media including stained glass, metal work, furniture design, and, in this instance, sculptures. His Little People Under Foot set is a collection of tiny people in everyday life scenes, generally standing a little less than one half inch tall. His clever titles give direction to the narrative of each small setting, where the figures interact with each other as well as life-sized items like butterflies or used cigarette butts. Joly says, “As we go through the journey that is our lives we come across situations, and make observations about what we see and feel.
With my under foot collection I strive to highlight my own observations and thoughts about my journey, and things I have seen.” Lectures from dad, hangovers, and garbage clean-up are just a few of the life moments that the tiny figures experience.
