Description SO. Anyone who reads my journal will know that for my finals at University I'm studying The Thing! Whilst I am looking at both the 1992 and 2011 versions I find myself drawn more towards the 2011 version... There's more room for theory in that one? I can't explain it... ; ; I'd have to show you my sketchbook and let you read that instead!

This is a picture done for my supporting research work/non-final pieces. I figured seeing as I never show any work I do for University, this would be a nice change! It's Kate and Edvard from the 2011 film; I don't really want to describe and talk about all the theories and things I've had to compare the characters to here, so basically, it's based on the idea that Kate has the audacity to oppose the station commander. Or at least, an imitation of the station commander! basically

Tried to keep the overall dull/cold colours that the film used. Originally the image was going to be super psychedelic and fiery, but that attempt didn't really work out... orz!

I have no idea who these characters belong to but they're certainly not mine! Hehehe.

Not seen either version yet, this art I know at least keeps the cold visual tone of the films though, so well done!

You forgot the THIRD version of The Thing though... the Pingu version!

Omg the Pingu version I TOTALLY FORGOT! How could I forget the best version?

And thank you! I found the film consistently kept a very cold feeling throughout, even when flames were brought on screen. So I did my best to try and emulate it!

*raises hand* I do I do! lol

Well yeah, technology has gotten better over time so I can see why you would choose that version. This is a really fleshed out art piece too. Its like the two characters are about to have a fall out, I don't know what over since I haven't heard of the film until just now but it really does make you feel emotional when looking at a scene like this.

You did a great job with the picture btw.

Thank you! I'm really really happy you like it! Emotional is good, very good; it's what I was aiming for. ; ; Hope it bodes well with my tutors too!

There were more characters in the 2011 version, felt like they were more of a family unit I guess? :s Maybe that's why I'm drawn towards it.

Yeah, emotions are always a good thing. Without them, we wouldn't feel anything at all. :^; And your welcome too! ^^
