Bear witness the delicately understated lupine lunacy of Timothy Pittides' poster for THE OMEN. Taking a hard left from the well-traveled route of the film's Satanic imagery, Timothy has executed a subtle, intricately detailed study in the darkest example of nature vs. nurture.
"When Rob Jones first approached me about THE OMEN, my brain went in a million different directions. Any time I consider a licensed property, my first thought is 'How do I do this in a way that is unique in concept, and to me?'
The film is littered with memorable visuals, many of which propel it beyond its genre, and into the realm of pop culture consciousness. Ultimately, rather than recreating a literal scene, I wanted to portray something that occurs outside the frames of the film. Something sinister in nature with a hint of macabre beauty: Damien's entrance into our world. This idea felt as natural as it did disturbing.
Inking this beast of an image took close to 175 hours, and includes 55 color layers done by hand. The artwork was rendered larger than I normally do to make sure all the dotwork stayed within correct proportions when elevated to poster size. It was tedious, but well worth it in the end." - Timothy Pittides
