Illustration Friday - Tension


Here's my submission for this week's Illustration Friday topic.  The showdown at the end of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly creates fantastic tension.  The musical score builds and builds with the shots edited to keep in time, becoming faster and more intense until the three main characters finally pull their triggers.  I love that movie.  I also love Clint's awesome poncho.

  5. I really love this! So creative in the way you are making the viewer hear the song simply by seeing the shapes and then the notes sweep across the picture! I can hear it now! And what a great way to illustrate "tension". Love how you tapped into our collective conscious to convey the theme.
