Extermination Theory - colour preview


I'm not sure whether these are going to be reproduced in colour or black & white, but as cost is always an issue (unfortunately), I'm thinking the latter. So here's a cropped detail from a full colour version of a scene from Matthew McLaughlin's 'Extermination Theory'. Wanted to create a grimy, rusty interior with a Resident-Evil-meets-The-Thing vibe.

  1. You've certainly pulled it off Matt looks great.

  2. What can I say? I am speechless, literally. So much mood and atmosphere, I mean...really, what can I say?

  3. I noticed that his 'crazy eye' pops out at me here. What a great subtle detail, fitting in perfectly with the character description in the story. Matt, I am just thrilled by this.

  4. Its dirty, but I like it!! Again the lighting rally helps with the mood of the piece.

    One thought might be to add a different texture and/or colour (perhaps a touch darker) to the hose pipe and trap door, just to lift them off the mottled background texture (the pipe and nozzle look a little... transparent).
