Digital Concept Art/ Artist study


This was a piece of art by John Sweeney. He made the concept art for The Last of Us, the game is mostly based about and to survive no matter what and hope so many of his drawings start of dark and end up in the light like this one does. I chose this piece of work as it portrays the style of the game well, it shows the cold, lonely and emptiness of the game and how humans no longer belong in this dark world.
In a lot of his work he uses dull colours such as blacks and greys but in his concepts there is at least one point of light, for the image above the most light is pointed at the destroyed helicopter. By using the dark colours it emphasizes the lighter parts of a picture, this is so the audience can realize the beauty in dark places.
To improve on it I could have spent more time adding detail into the background. I could have added more metal beams instead of colouring it gray.
In most of his drawings he only uses a few colours, the most popular being grey, green and red, though this is because many of his drawing are of overgrown cities.
