"Saw IV" Drawing — Initial Version

Saturday · 15 Sep 07 · 10:11 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

In an earlier post of mine, I mentioned Saw IV as one of the movies I'm looking forward to seeing.  There's just a little over a month to go for the movie to be released (Oct 26), and an initial clip and teaser trailer were released some time back.

But a couple of days back, I got to see this video, which is a combination clip and trailer, advertising the movie!  Be warned though, it is pretty graphic stuff, as it begins with an autopsy of Jigsaw's body, where a tape is found by the coroner inside the stomach.  The chilling voice on the tape announces that Jigsaw's games are far from over, and the caption "What the fuck is on the tape?" appears on screen.

"Are you there, detective?
I promised that my work will continue.
You think it is over, but you are wrong.
The games have just begun."

One thing to be noted about the caption that I mentioned — it appears in almost exactly the same way that the words "How fucked up is that?" appeared in one of the original Saw trailers from three years ago.  And in fact, in the current trailer too, you can notice this same text appear a little more faintly, behind the main caption!  There could be more hidden elements in this trailer, as the montage of scenes is edited together very tightly.

Saw IV Drawing — by Karthik Abhiram

Anyway, this trailer inspired me a lot, and I ended up doing a Saw IV drawing the next morning at office.  I did this on notebook paper with ballpoint pen, and used the US One-sheet as reference.  You can see the image above (click for a larger version) — but please note that this just has minimal post-processing (I just desaturated it and boosted contrast a little), and I plan to improve it further before adding it to my gallery.  Still, feel free to leave your comments below!
