Bugology Wallpaper 1 - Attack of the Ants

As part of the game, client discussed themed wallpapers players could buy to change out the default main screen. One of the wallpaper ideas, was a 50s sci fi monster movie poster illustration, featuring ants.

Since most of these 50s movie posters involved stereotypical roles for the male and female characters, I wanted to break away from that, but still keep a similar illustrative style.

In my Google search, I was glad to find there was at least one poster where those stereotypes didn't seem to be portrayed.

Once I got some examples of the monster movie posters on the side of my screen, I started sketching several composition thumbs before liking the chase/being chased idea.

This particular style really helped me think about shapes and, in a way, was an 50s (or onwards) style illustration study.
