Gears of War 3: Contest: Behind The Scenes

So I checked the website Deviant Art and the finalists were announced. I didn't make the finals, but I thought I would keep my promise and share the in progress work of the entry.

Below are the sketches being stitched together and the composition being roughed out. I then hand drew the background and comped that together as well. I then played around with color schemes.







Ive had a Deviant Art page for about 6 years. To be honest, I don't know why I even still keep it other than to see the art work of the professional comic book artists that are on there or the occasional photo reference here and there.. It serves no networking or professional purpose. Its just a bunch of teenagers posting bad anime and furry drawings and its really weird.

Gears of War 3: Computer Wallpaper Contest

I recently found out about a contest going on with Microsoft/ Epic Games and Deviant Art last week. The premise is to create a "soul-shattering" image of the Gears of War franchise in computer wallpaper format. I found out about this contest late in the game, So I immediately went to my sketchbook and started working things out. Below is the final piece worked by pencil a scanner and lots of Photoshop. When the winners are chosen on October 4th, i will release more of how I created this image. You can view my entry HERE, as well as the other great works that other artists have come up with!
