COMMAND PERFORMANCE (Dolph Lundgren, 2009)

[Dragonrage]

99% Photoshop...and 1% 3D Studio Max for "Command Performance" title...

Okay
Would you mind if i post this on facebook, (crediting you of course) to promote the movie ?

Not at all...just put it...it is going be my honor and privilege that my work serve for promotional purposes

Give me the link when you put it on Facebook...

Good job Dragonrage! Really like those.

If I had any visual talent at all I'd take the Dolph pose from Preacher's excellent cover and combine it with the black border/fire orange font from Dragonrage's. That would rock (pun intended).

Yeah,..that could work very well...but to bad that Dolph picture is "unofficial"...it is atually "promo" picture, but he doesn't have that hair from the movie on this picture...

BTW, I would like to say something about Preacher's work from my perspective.
Anyway...it is a very good work...it would be great as a DVD cover...but it need some more work. I have 3. problems with that poster/cover.

1. As I said before...picture of Dolph is "unofficial"...to bad. OK, that its not that big problem, but IMO, that "different hair style" somehow spoils the concept of the poster because it looks like poster it was made from images from another movie ... like cover for the Direct Contact where they use image from The Mechanic. Although...is great poster picture...very cool!
2. Title could use some work...I dunno, but somehow look to simple...something is missing there...but I'm not sure what for now.
3. There is to much going on poster, around Dolph...its just to crowded (I would remove some pictures and focus more on Dolph)...and its kind of "to colorful"...to modern...it remind me on Fast and Furious posters...

But after all...as I said its a very good work... with a little more work, could be wonderful poster/cover

Hey Dragonrage and thanks for the feedback!
You are right ofcourse about the hairstyle in the pic. I did'nt notice it until you pointed it out though. My main problem with that particular pic is not Dolphs look but the fact that the focus is on the gun and not his face.
I agree in full about the title. I wanted to use 3d studio max all along but I have must have uninstalled it or something. It's works better in my last version i think.
The colors are of course a consious choice. I wanted the poster to be glossy and shiny and looking at it I kinda like the look. BUT the choice of COLD colors are kinda modern (like fast and furious). Maybe that was not the best choice...
I kinda like the crowded feel. I think the fact that Dolphs face is out of focus makes the backround stand out a bit to much right now though.

I don't think i will spend anymore time on this poster but I had a blast making it so I might just make another one in the future.

Now... my thoughts on your work.
The look and concept of all the posters are great. Good layout and balance.
My problem is: The pictures are not that great.
I know there are not that many to choose from, especially not on Dolph.

Keep the fan art coming everybody!
It's inspiring and fun to talk about.

Oh... and sorry about the long post.

The band name was "Thor's Hammer", then close to filming Dolph's assistant came up with CMF and he took the suggestion.

Good thing they changed it. Thor's Hammer sounds like White power-band to me.
I don't know about you but I don't think that neo-nazi is the way to go for Dolph (or anyone).

Right wing people always try to claim the history of their respective countries, but that doesn't mean they're entitled to it. Norse Mythology is a part of our heritage, it doesn't belong to racists. Mjölnir/Thor's Hammer was a powerful symbol to our ancestors, especially after Christianity came along and banned Asatro.

[preacher]

And you are correct ofcourse dolphage.

It doesn't mean it's unofficial, because it is. It's just not a still from the movie but it was taken by the photographer of the movie when they filmed the trailer a few days before filming started.

Bomaz,
good clip as an actor. keep going, make more. eventually you may come up with more stuff. then who knows?? Stardom!! u have my support all the way. Go Go Go.

[dolphage]

And you are correct ofcourse dolphage.

Thank you, or as evegotbet would say; "GOD bless you".

I would jokingly say "GODS bless you", in reference to the several Gods of Asatro, but such sacrilege might get me suicidebombed by you-know-who...

Oh... and sorry about the long post.

I had a few other Dolph's pictures in mind for this poster ... like this...



But I dunno...in the end did win the pictures that I used because IMO it was somehow really cool...I like it because he is in close up, he is watching in to the camera, toward audience and its looking really bad ass...it was something that I like to call "poster picture" hehe...

BTW...no need for sorry...Jox can tell you...sometimes I write even bigger post LOL

I know, I know...that's why I said unofficial with quotation marks. I assume that this teaser was shot before they start making the movie...

Kinda busy at the moment, but I just stopped by to say how FUCKING AWESOME Preacher and Dragonrage's posters are. They must be used for something, they put the other designers to shame completely. I was even fooled into thinking they were official until I read the post. Incredible work guys!! That is exactly how the CP poster SHOULD look.

[Jox]

they put the other designers to shame completel

I have no idea where the guy came from but I doubt he was used to doing movie poster design...

[Dragonrage]

So...I was thinking my self...what the hell...I had intention to use some other Dolph's pictures for poster, so why not use them...but, of the three remaining images that are entered in the "narrower" choice (the one that I posted above)...just one was good as a "poster" material...so I made another 4 versions with that picture...check it out and see are they any good??

(Pictures are thumbnail...so you have click on it to see bigger pictures)



And I also played a little bite with Preachers version (Preacher, I hope you don't mind) because I was curious how this image would looked in my version ... despite the fact that image has its problems and is not usable for the poster.

I had some other ideas with this version, but didn't work well...and I didn't have time to make it work...
