After considering the great feedback I received on the previous sketch, and after perusing more of the retro-sci-fi posters that folks were kind enough to link me to, I have radically changed the layout of the previous PIGS IN SPACE retro poster drawing. I think this is WAY more awesome and has MUCH closer to the look and feel I was hoping to achieve, though I have not necessarily committed to everything in this newer version.
Things I notice right off the bat that need work: The boat, obviously - this is a really rough sketch. I dont know how to draw Muppet rats yet and did not consult a reference for this, so the rat looks crappy. But you get the idea. Link is supposed to be pointing his laser pistol towards the viewer, might be hard to tell by this sketch. I dont think I like the way Strangeporks pistol is in perfect profile, I think it should probably also be pointing slightly more towards the viewer, but not straight forward like Links. I want Piggy to have her right hand on Links chest, but Im not sure thats physically possible with the angle her body is at. That hand currently looks really wrong to me, as do both her and Strangeporks elbows. But at least her boobs look better in this version. I forgot to add Links other hand on Piggy, either at her waist or shoulder. Will add that later.
As before, any comments/critique would be really, really appreciated!
