Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee Poster
My Fourth out of Four Oddworld Posters, this one for Munch’s Oddysee.
I wanted it to have the sense of isolation for Munch, him being the last of his kind. I wanted to take from the opening scene more than anything, as it really set the mood for the game.
The poster is in two halves, one is the ominous saucer that is Vykkers Labs, something of real mystery and danger. You are looking up at it in awe, as if its stature is above you literally and metaphorically. The second is below, where we have Munch as a tiny figure as a shadow, about to be plucked out of his home by the beam of light. The syringes are added to hint that he is being experimented on.
I loved having lens flares in Strangers one, and putting them on the UFO on this poster gave it a Close Encounters of the Third Kind feel, and the flares almost encase the ship. It also adds extra gradient to the image and stops it looking sterile.
Hope you like this one! And hopefully I will be working on more Oddworld pieces similar to the Soulstorm Brew Tin soon!
