This chart was about the Apocalypse. my initial idea was a lone mutant survivor climbing a heap of junk, sporting a multi-lens glasses. each lens represents a different segment. no luck.
Another round: ghosts; rainbow; toxic puddle; totem. no luck.
But the totem led to this idea.
Which became this page--
Art directed by Alice Cho for Wired magazine.
Really interesting process... I kinda like the rainbow apocalypse too haha but the final piece was definitely the way to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this; it was easy to overlook that amazing background when reading the issue. Without the text, it really shines!
ReplyDeleteThe rat on top of the skull is a nice touch and it goes without saying how strong the colors are.
ReplyDeleteawesome dude, great thinking
ReplyDeleteFantastic coloring! I love how vividly the totem stands out, without overpowering the scene!
ReplyDeletei agree, the background is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! One of my new favorites from you.
ReplyDeleteIt's also great to see that even very established illustrators sometimes have to do several rounds of sketches.
Yeah man it's really too bad that the background is obscured by the text. That illustration stands perfectly on its own.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love seeing the process. The detail in that final piece is great.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I like how the totem carries so much visual weight even though it is so skinny.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind me asking which program you use? Photoshop or Illustrator?
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice, very nicely drawn. I even prefer the print version, the texts complement your illustration nicely without overpowering the artwork. Classy, and one of your best pieces in a while :-)
ReplyDeleteThat came out so sick! Really great work.
ReplyDeletelooks amazing as always! Really like how the background is a subtle contrast of the foreground to give main focus on the skull! Amazing job and too bad about the initials i would have loved to see the first one finalized : )
ReplyDeleteamazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool, I like how you incorporated everything!
