Description
.:: This is from Matilda ::. I. Love. Leon the Professional. I was working.:: This is from Matilda ::.I. Love. Leon the Professional. I was working out thumbnails for another piece and all of a sudden this image popped in my head. I got it down on paper and began working up the image. While the movie played on in the background, I hear Leon utter, “This… is from Matilda.”
Where did I hear that from? And then it clicked, and all this excitement and the feeling of stars aligning rushed in. I realized that one of my favorite bands, ‘Alt-J’ did a song called Matilda, which I didn’t realize until this moment that it’s about Leon and Matilda’s relationship in the movie. #mindblown
"Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who’s boss
My defeat sleeps toe to toe with her success.
And she needs you/ This is from Matilda.
And she needs you/ This is from Matilda.
And she needs you/ This is from Matilda.” - ∆
Update: I decided to push the values a bit more, you can see the difference between the two images here - chrisvisions.com/post/67882904…

The miniature Mathilda aiming to fire from Léon's coat is very clever! The yellow and blue hues together are great too!

Found this while looking for the ever-famous Gary Oldman "EVERYONE!" gif.
Really good stuff. Great mix of caricature, realistic and pushed shapes.

I really like this piece at lot. The way the guy is stylized... It's just so interesting and it screams a story out of a world in which this kind of thing happens. Great color palette, too!

Great, but isn't the arm a little bit too long ? o_o
Or is it someone else's arm ?

Never seen the movie, honestly. However, I love Jean Reno and you've illustrated him in this picture quite nicely. Well done.
