The pose with the shooter pointing straight up was found to aggressive in the test. We kept the white scratched background but back to the drawingboard. It may have been used on a book later.

Turaga Files - Unboxing the Legend - Exhibit 011
The Piraka art direction had to be different to anything we had done before to make the change that was needed after 5 years of legend told. So on the way to the final look we went through many stages and tests. Here you se one of the suggestions that I put together to test the limits. This poster tries to depict the bad and unpredictable feel of the laughing Piraka by tangling them together into one big alienlike silhouette monster and adding some film poster oneliners. Bad to the spine.

Undoubtedly one of the best Piraka images I've seen! It certainly captures that menacing look.
ReplyDeleteI like the "Vacation is over." bit. I'm feeling like that would have fit really well with the early Piraka promos. Brings back memories. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMr. Faber, did you ever do any work on the Power Miners line? I really liked that theme and I think that others would like to see some Power Miners design work.
I was part of the very early idea generation that lead to this concept but the main creative work was done by my good colleague Martin Haagensen from Advance together with a team from LEGO
DeleteOoh, very nice! I always loved '06. Great to see some promo art of these guys!
