Hook and Smee

asked me to put up this [link] old arse image so I thought I'd stick up a couple of its contempories.

These are REALLY old from back when I was first learning to use Photoshop7 in uni.

They're from a University project back in 2003.

I really had fun on this project. Note the little details such as Smee's tats on his knuckles and the Irish icons on his arms (Guinness and clover).

Hook's hook looked different on my original design. It was a kinda rusty blood red speckled black thing based on a dung beetle's hooked nose. I changed it because I saw an image of Jason Isaacs from the then future Peter Pan flick and liked his hook.

But that's all I changed even though they both have that similar look. My hook was based on a male model from some perfume advert in my girlfriend's magazines.

I even had the idea of his hook held on with a brace after researching amputations and prosthetic hooks. I always wondered how the hell they were held on. I mean, they don't nail it to the poor bugger. And a similar thing showed up in that film.

Barmy.

Update. Found the guy I based my Hook upon. Guy named David Gandy apparently [link]
