Hi! So here’s a fun one, if, I guess, you think war and conquest is fun… just kidding, of course you do! What could be more fun then kicking your friends’ butts in online multiplayer combat via iOS or Android device? NOTHING #LOL
But seriously, I LOVE DRAWING WAR, something about it just flows out of me, even easier than all the other stuff that I enjoy drawing. It’s just FUN drawing stuff blowing up!
The spots for this project kind of distilled down from 4 spots, to 2, to 1, so there’s some splicing and melding going on in some of these boards I’m about to show- but it’s helpful (I’m sure) to see how this kind of thing can happen! In these modern advertising times, client needs and specs have to pivot on a dime! New apps/smartphones are released every day and that’s your ENEMY out there! That’s WAR for you!
My favorite part of this project, aside from the ‘realistic’ treatment of the weaponry and setting- was the emphasis put on the various commanders as CHARACTERS – which always inspires as being a board artist forces you to become part ACTOR as well as ARTIST. Enough said, let me know what you think of my ‘performance.’
And another ‘take’:
Not bad eh? Well, you’ll see in the video to follow: They’ve pivoted among other things, the TITLE of this project! So now we are WAR PLANET. Good to know! Hey, first thing’s first, right?
I think it turned out great! I’d play, but it wouldn’t be fair to everyone else, you know? Hey, I’m just being honest. See you next time!
