In anticipation of Marvel Studios' upcoming space epic adventure flick, Guardians of the Galaxy, fanboy and artist Rob Csiki has crafted a stunning, vintage piece of artwork that has even garned the attention of writer/director James Gunn. The poster features Marvel's cosmic misfits Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon all putting up a good fight against a horde of tentacled aliens. In explaining his creative process, Rob Csiki told Guard the Galaxy that it was truly a labor of creative love. "I started with a geeky idea, a thumbnail sketch and the word's "A bunch of A-Hole's" to drive my creative concept forward. Then came some props, a small tripod, a pretty cheap digital camera and my living room and kitchen as a photo studio. I modeled all the poses in the shot and began the long task of laying out the composition in Phototshop. The rest is about 200 or so Frankenstein layers of reference textures, images, and lot's of digital painting to make it all whole. This is a true hybrid piece of pop art! I used everything I taught myself over the years physical & digital art-wise that I am truly excited by the finish product."
