Final Images

The final images I did for The Lost Scenes of Kong, these were put through Photoshop, to remove any small errors or gaps, and I also edited the contrast and some of the tones to make the images stronger.

Kong vs the Triceratops

The Poker Game.

Kong peers in the window.

The Spider Pit. 1. 
Sailor recovers from his fall only to see a giant spider emerge from the nearby cave.

 The Spider Pit. 2.
A tentacled beast rises from the pool of soft mud to seize another sailor.
 The Spider Pit. 3. 
                        The sailors try to defend themselves as more creatures emerge from the pool 
                                    and the surrounding caves, including a lizard-like beast.


The Spider Pit. 4.
A lone sailor is separated from his comrades and eaten by another spider.

The Spider Pit. 5.
The remaining sailors are claimed by the tentacled beast.

Solar Plate Etching

Here is a variation of the first image, which was created using a solar plate etching technique. The illustration was printed onto a sheet of acetate, which was then exposed onto a copper plate. With the image now imprinted on the plate, ink was spread on top then the plate was taking through the printing press. The effect is one similar to the art prints of the 1933 release, grainy and dark, the edge of the plate has also created a strong border for the image.

Kong Drawings

Here are the illustrations from each of the scenes, first drawn rough in pencil, 
then gone over again in pen. Each is drawn from the scale model for reference, save for the first which was drawn from descriptions of the scene in the screenplay.
