Just wanted to share this piece I entered in the recent Star Wars: The Last Jedi FanArt contest, which was lucky enough to win 1st Place at the recently concluded Philippine ToyCon 2017. Conceptually, it’s basically an homage to the imagery from the hit Playstation post-apocalyptic game The Last of Us, but in the stead of its main characters Joel and Ellie, I saw a parallel with Luke and Rey... (aside from the words “THE LAST” too, hehe) so I thought this mash-up would make for a cool looking piece. The resulting artwork is a mixed media of sorts... Using the Last of Us Remastered black & white art as a basis, I started with painting flats and outlining details with lineart. The tricky part was although the pose is almost the same, Luke and Rey’s clothes and weapons are far different. Basically I substituted Joel and Ellie’s pistol and shotgun for Luke and Rey’s lightsaber and staff they’re famous for, as well as basing their costumes from their look in the Last Jedi movie (and Luke’s cyborg hand of course!). Then came the details... I took actual images of their costume and weapons, and even some details from Joel and Ellie’s clothes as well - and ‘pasted’ it over the color flats. Spent a lot of time ‘blending’ all the elements together so it looks like they’re all coming from the same light source, lots of shadowing, selective highlights, and whatnot. Blended in some of the lineart as well to give that ‘art sketch’ feel. Had to redraw Rey at a point as she looked too much like Ellie, and made her a bit taller as well. Basically, I just made this stuff/process up as I went along and I’m proud it turned out the way it did. Made a GIF of some of the historical sessions I had making this piece. Anyway, this is for the fans of THE LAST OF US x STAR WARS out there! Peace!
