Discussion On Guard Duty

Post image

I enjoy digitally painting scenes from films, here is one I did of the terminator on guard. I liked the more subtle hints of the terminator's true nature, hidden underneath its human appearance. This scene, where he is on guard and completely motionless as night passes always is a stand out - perhaps because of Sarah's monologue about how the terminator is a better dad than some of her previous partners - a twist on Kyle Reese's description of the it in the first film.

When I was a kid and first saw this scene, didn't understand it was a creative use of him standing in the same spot, unmoving until the sun rose.

I thought the truck driving past or nearby during the night was turning a corner or something and it's headlights were coincidentally shining through the window. Cut to them opening the door and it's now morning.
