After more or less bringing the Robocop design to close, i focused back onto getting the final artwork made and arranged for the Predator poster - something i i foolishly thought would be pretty straight forward, as i just needed to follow the formula i used for the previous poster. Not so. I've given myself too many options again, and trying to apply similar, minimal aesthetics from the futuristic Robocop artwork just isn't working with The Predator and his 'present day' surroundings. The 'floating body parts' collage type approach wasn't working either, so i reworked it to fit the same basic layout i applied to the final Robocop poster. If i stick to that then even if the line work varies in levels of detail across each design then at least people will be able to see a connection between the compositions and the film titles/credits will be in the same place .
Also another element that will hopefully make them appear like more of a set is the inclusion of a 'grid' in the background. In the Robocop poster the square grid refers to his digital sighting that you see being installed during the film, as a P.O.V shot. The grid here appears in the form of a mesh/net-like pattern.The mesh is part of its attire, which apparently is what gives the predator the ability to become invisible. The net could also refer to a section of the film where it is briefly captured - it easily escapes however and continues to wreak merry hell.
