Finally finished this thing!

Once I get an idea I start with a few rough sketches, like very rough, I'm talking like scribbles. Then just keep refining, I usually have a pretty clear idea of what I want though. Then I start an expansive image search, for instance on the Left Behind piece I looked up a lot of carousel's and took screen shots of the Left Behind trailer. Once I'm satisfied I gather all my textures, brushes and vectors I know I'm going to need. Such as bark texture, root brushes and ivy and weed vectors, I make a lot of them, some I've just had forever. Then I work in grey scale and focus and foreground first. Once I get the composition put together, I start adding all the fun stuff - the details. Then it's a matter of refining and lastly I start looking at color.

With the upcoming release of the single player downloadable content for The Last of Us - Left Behind, I decided to create something to hold me over until the release. Not having played any of the DLC yet I went strictly off the first teaser trailer, which included a carousel. Also I figured since the whole thing takes place in a mall, this might be a center piece, or possibly a big moment. The whole thing took a little over 4 hours. 

Holiday Poster for work.

They all started with a sketch - then I would take screenshots while playing the game to get the angles of certain shapes right - then I would rough it up in illustrator, all with the pen tool - then take into photoshop for quick color exploration then apply it in illustrator.

Freehand, I do have a few rules when I start, so it doesn't get too random.

Thanks!
