The Last Acorn - Animated Movie Starring Selena Gomez, Antonio Banderas and John Leguizamo

Here is my pre-production copy of the movie poster for The Last Acorn which is an upcoming animated movie starring Selena Gomez, Antonio Banderas, and John Leguizamo.  I brought four separate Bing Image Creator (DALL-E 3) prompt creations of mine into a single combined layout.

Green Lantern power battery with logo text work

I tested out the new Affinity 2.3.0 release today (cool new spiral tool available, but not used on this image), and with it, I finally had a chance to utilize IamRensi lights, lens flare, and particle brushes. Started with Designer font for the Green Lantern logo, converted it to curves, stacked and edited nodes for a 3D look, along with more warp group tweaks, then converted it into a second warp group to get the perspective laid down, Then took my work back to Affinity Photo, added a gradient for the lens flare coloring on the text, plus lots of various live filters on different layers, while compositing it into the 3d battery image I found online.

Dua Lipa Polaroid photos

Just some simple layer work, featuring Dua Lipa, while playing with Affinity Photo template-type design setup on my end.  Created multiple editing layers so that I can inject new photographs onto the Polaroid layout for future experiments.

Liliatha, our youngest redheaded witch is levitating in her living room.

 I started with a Bing Image Creator (DALL-E 3) prompt "a picture of a red-headed woman 30 years old bouncing on a pogo stick" then brought that into Affinity and started working on some minor tweaks, edits, and tried to weed out some of the artificial look.   I'm titling this "Liliatha, our youngest redheaded witch is levitating in her living room."

My quick creation of what I think a Lainey Wilson: Heart Like A Truck LP vinyl record and worn art sleeve would look like.

Two-Face Makes His Decision to Kill While Struggling With His Inner Angel and Devil

I extracted a panel drawn by Mike Hawthorne and Nikola Čižmešija from Batman / Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth #1 (DC Comics 2023), and then added new art elements (angel/devil new background, adjusted his evil grin and eyeball) and also revised the dialog to fit my mood, which I have titled "Two-Face Makes His Decision to Kill While Struggling With His Inner Angel and Devil."

Batgirl in a Dark Alley (Bruce Timm)

I pulled a Bruce Timm created Batgirl image and placed her into a full background of a dark alley with graffiti. 

Batman Wants to Put You In a Coma

Eduardo Barreto had a nice panel in DC Comics' Batman - Gotham by Gaslight, which I pulled out, isolated, and then did a few edits and added fresh dialogue "Why don't I help you slip into something more comfortable... like a coma."

Commissioner Jim Gordon

My latest DC character bio-page features Batman's favorite former police detective, James Gordon. I created the GCPD badge from vector pens and then warped the interior letters to fit within the shield's shape. Hi-rez image link.

Batman Gets His Face Smashed with An Articulated Boxing Glove

I took Greg Capullo's incredible cover artwork from Batman #36 [Loot Crate Exclusive variant] and made some minor adjustments which included adding the missing SoundFX font work. Hi-Rez image link.
