Total Recall (1990)Directed by Paul Verhoeven"Get your ass to Mars."Yesterday (30 July) was Arnold @schwarzenegger's 75th Birthday, something which I came to know after seeing a post by @jeffvictorart, showing a set of Schwarzenegger's famous movies done in his style. So, I thought I would do a sketch myself.Initially I was thinking of drawing something from "Commando", which, around 1990/91/92 was the very first Schwarzenegger movie I watched and loved. But on looking at some reference images I thought I'd draw this instead, from "Total Recall" which is also one of my favourite Schwarzenegger movies. I've done sketches on this movie also before.This is a miniature drawing in one inch square size and an early entry for @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2022. It was done with 0.5mm 4B pencil (Gelly Roll was used for the highlights in the eyes) and you can swipe to see a scan and a few other edits of the photo.I love "Total Recall" for the extreme gore and violence courtesy director Paul Verhoeven, the clever blend of action and science fiction, the amazing music score by Jerry Goldsmith, and the fact that they really made this an otherworldy adventure! The talent involved is awesome, and the movie won an Oscar for its Visual Effects.They don't make movies like they used to! These Schwarzenegger movies from the 1980s and 1990s were what I grew up with (though probably one was a bit young to be watching all that bloodshed, but never mind), and I'll always have a fondness for them.I also think one can take lessons from him on building one's confidence and having a positive attitude towards life. And the man has a shoulder exercise named after him!Fun fact: The character Sub-Zero from the "Mortal Kombat" games was named after the villain Subzero from Schwarzenegger's 1987 movie "The Running Man".From @ramanjaneyaprasanna's Story I realised that 30 July was Christopher Nolan's birthday too, but I was not up to doing one more sketch.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #arnoldschwarzenegger #schwarzenegger#pencil #pencilart #pencildrawing #miniatureart#withgalaxy#680 / 30-Jul-22
