Comic Con News: FANEXPO Vancouver 2016

I've been meaning to post about this but it's finally official that I'll be at FanExpo Vancouver this year for the first time. I've been meaning to add this event to my lineup of cons for awhile, and I'm pretty happy to get a spot. I'll be at table A118 in Artist Alley. Be sure to stop by in you're in the area.

You can see a little gif image on the upper right of the page under "Upcoming Events"

Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #34: "SUICIDE SQUAD"

 

 Here is my Harley Quinn featured "Suicide Squad" poster that I've finally finished. 

Much like the "Back to the Future 3" poster I made before, I did a bit of a homage to a vintage movie poster with this one.  I really liked the color block borders in the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" poster and how well Holly Golightly's silhouette works.  So I tried to use some of those ideas as basis for my Suicide Squad poster.

Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #33: "STRANGER THINGS"

  

A "STRANGER THINGS" alternative art TV poster has been at the top of my poster list prior to and since getting back from Toronto's FanExpo Canada.  I saw alot of Eleven cosplay but the one I got a picture of was spot on for me.

I added specific numbers for the D & D game dice which corresponded to the show.  Here are the meanings behind the numbers: 

• 7, 15, 20, 16 is for the date Netflix premiered the show - July 15, 2016
• 2 is for the twin directors - The Duffer Brothers
•  8 is for the number of episodes
• 1 is for Season One
• 11 is for the character Eleven
• 6 is for the day Will went missing (November 6th 1983)

Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #31: "POKEMON TITANS GO"

 

 

I was encouraged to make a "Pokemon Go" poster but I wanted to do it with a bit of twist. 

So this one I think stands along side my other mash-up posters like "Guardians of the Gravity Falls" and "My Little Morphin' Pony Rangers". 

My mash-up series now adds the following entitled "Pokemon Titans Go". 

Here are the mash-up names: 

• Rash
• Silkiechu
• Bul-Beast-saur Boy
• Haventer
• Star Clefirey
• Maborg

Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #30: "THE INCREDIBLES"

Here is my 30th alternative art movie poster for one of my favorite Brad Bird films :
"The Incredibles"!

I remember watching this in the cinema at the very back of the theater seats because it was such a packed screening.

I wanted to capture the graphic closing credits style as they battled Syndrome's Omnidroid v.10 along with Frozone.  In the corner you can see Syndrome holding Jack Jack.

Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #29: "FINDING DORY"

 

Here is my 29th alternative art movie poster and this year's "Finding Dory" is what I decided on.

I've been wanting to add a few more animation posters to my list and this may be the start of a string of them I'll post in the coming months.

Ken Turner - Alternative Art Poster #28: "THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS"

I've had this rough sketch - see below - in my files, for awhile now, for a Nightmare Before Christmas poster but never quite got around to completing it until recently.  I might do a few variants of the poster and play around background colors.  But for now I settled on this orange as it obviously felt appropriate.

The final poster's approach in style was not want I had set out to attempt but I'm still very happy with the result.

At the request of some people at last year's Fan Expo in Toronto and as an idea that's been at the top of my own to-do list, this is definitely a poster I'll be proud to showcase at the comic con in TO this year.
