Based on the 1974 British spy novel by John le Carre, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an upcoming thriller movie directed by Tomas Alfredson. Set in the aftermath of the cold war, the thriller tells the tale of a spy-hunt within the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Written by Bridget O’Connor and Peter Straughan, the film stars Gary Oldman, Ciaran Hinds, Jared Harris, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong and Svetlana Khodchenko among others.

Synopsis: Set in the 1970s, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy finds George Smiley​ (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the heart of the Circus, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of espionage. Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects – all experienced, urbane, successful agents – but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.

SKETCHING

Drawing up some rough ideas.

REFERENCE

Look up for reference online and come up with the Superpowers figure from 1984, the cover design for New Frontier #6 created by Darwyn Cooke and an Alex Ross’ s Green Lantern painting.

REFERENCE PHOTO

Do photo-shot to create the perfect fist, the angle, and the lighting effects for the ring.

DIGITAL SKETCHING

Digital sketch combining the previous fist photos and some cosmic imagery from NASA’s website.

PENCILS & VECTORS

Printing, scanning and drawing into Illustrator and mapped out all the elements in vector while experimenting with every gradient in there.

FINAL PROCESS

Blending a couple of photographic overlays with the vectors.

Got some nice images of folded linen and satin which worked perfect for getting those wrinkles.

Adding the green light energy, a few background elements and some selective shading. And finally, added the final content from the Green Lantern oath as well as the 2011 logo.

GREEN LANTERN now open in GSC and TGV and other cinemas nationwide.

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
