In '98 a remake of King Kong was going to come out... and then the American Godzilla happened. At the time, though, I was excited (as I am now about the remake that IS going ahead) and, not knowing who might be cast, made my own 'fantasy football' version of KONG with my favourite cast... well, the Fay Wray casting was the toughest at the time, as there were few blondes with staying power I really liked. Can you guess any of them anyway...? 11x14 on paper (go to my website to link/learn more about this piece).

EDIT: 01-07-07 Brande New Scan from the original artwork.

I remember seeing this years ago in the fan art section of the aboyd Kong site. Still one of my all time favourite fantasy posters. And for the era, Bruce would have made a perfect Jack.

What I really like here is how you incorporated text into the image. I like the way it divides the different scenes. It is very clean and crisp. I love the airplanes in the right hand corner, and also dig the way her leg comes out of the frame, and almost into the tyrannosaurs's jaws. Great job. :thumbsup: :)

Thanks... I still like this one and really want to compose another like it. I should try something with simple, clean forms and lines like this again, as well. The text was necessary and fun to come up with, but perhaps I should use that excuse again some time instead of relying on just photoshop...

Text can be a really great addition to a piece. I'm not good with typography, so I don't do it,.... but for someone like you it's a great idea. You have nice clean lines, great precision, so you can't lose. :)

I'm going to put my foot in my mouth, but I'm guessing Kim Basinger in the Fay Wray role, Gary Oldman in the Carl Denham role (to the right), and David Hasslehoff as Jack Driscoll (to the left). Yeah, I'm probably totally off, but I don't watch that much television and I don't see that many movies... :no:

I'll tell you what I really like about this the most is the liberal placement of solid black areas that are both subject and background--it's a well-thought out arrangement that has the feel of being powerfully and vigorously (quickly) expressive. I really like it, and as you gaze at it more, it becomes even stronger, as the various shapes become defined and characters and details more clear. Nice work! The new scan looks really good. =) Your arrangement of sections and panels is top notch, as always. :thumpsup:

1 outta 3 aint bad (You got Gary Oldman, MISTER Chameleon himself, as Carl Denham!) Jack Driscoll is played here by Bruce 'Don't call me Ash' Campbell (AKA, Brisco County Jr.), and the girl... As I said I was looking for a beautiful blonde (in '98) with staying power... I was off only a bit when I cast Mira Sorvino... but how was I to know that the beautiful Naomi Watts would come along!?
Thanks for the comments...!
