The Thing Artbook Illustration 2017

This illustration, titled “The Thing Artbook Illustration” by Robert Sammelin, was created in 2017. It's a poster for John Carpenter's 1982 film "The Thing," and its visual style, characterized by a dark, gritty aesthetic and a menacing alien creature with sharp teeth, perfectly captures the film's horror theme. The creature's monstrous form, seemingly emerging from a dark background, is set against a large, pale moon, creating a stark contrast that emphasizes its grotesque nature. The title "The Thing," rendered in bold, red lettering, adds to the ominous atmosphere of the poster. This artwork is a powerful example of how illustration can capture the essence of a film, creating an enduring visual representation of a classic horror movie.
