The Return of the King movie poster

This was for an assignment in my illustration class where we had to create a piece as an advertisement. I chose to do a movie poster and of the multiple concepts and thumbnails, this was the one that I chose to go with. It was really the first time I had created an image from scratch in Photoshop and my first time using a drawing tablet, so there was a bit of a learning curve involved. It was challenging, but I had fun with this one.
