With excitement ramping up for Marvel Studios’ quirky space opera, fans of Star Lord and company have been hard at work doing what it is they do best: nerding out. Rob Csiki, an artist with maximum geek potential, created an absolute killer of a poster featuring Gamora, Groot, Rocket, Drax, and Star Lord in an all-out brawl with some tentacled bad guys. The poster even , James Gunn on Twitter. Rob had this to say about making this poster of pulpy goodness: “I started with a geeky idea, a thumbnail sketch and the word’s “A bunch of A-Hole’s” to drive my creative concept forward. Then came some props, a small tripod, a pretty cheap digital camera and my living room and kitchen as a photo studio. I modeled all the poses in the shot and began the long task of laying out the composition in Phototshop. The rest is about 200 or so Frankenstein layers of reference textures, images, and lot’s of digital painting to make it all whole. This is a true hybrid piece of pop art! I used everything I taught myself over the years physical & digital art-wise that I am truly excited by the finish product.”
You have to love Star Lord taking a fist to the face. It fits the tone of what we’ve seen of GotG perfectly!
Would you buy this and hang it in your living room? Spoiler: I would. Let us know in the comments!
