Description
Year: 2011Client: DC Comics & SONY
Media: Media: Pencil, PITT Pen and COPIC marker on Strathmore Drawing paper, then colored with Adobe Photoshop CS2.
Here's my UNCHARTED cover, done for SONY as a giveaway poster at San Diego Comic-Con 2011, and then used as a variant cover for DC Comics' UNCHARTED comic last month. The Drake face is different than the poster version: I redid it because I didn't think I came close to the way Drake looks in the game. This is a little closer, but it usually takes me 5 to 7 attempts before I get close to a character.
I love the UNCHARTED games. This cover was designed as an homage to Drew Struzan's INDIANA JONES movie posters. Imagine my surprise when Drew himself was standing at my table at San Diego, saying hi and thumbing through my portfolio...

Just wanted to say that you are the reason I got into Uncharted, and I am eternally grateful. ♥
This piece of art alone inspired me to research Uncharted, buy the comics, fall in love with them, buy the novel, and then buy and beat all three games.
Thank you, and please never stop making your art.

I seriously think Nathan Drake looks like Kurt Russell from Big Trouble in Little China, but of course without a blonde mullet. ;D
Fantastic job BTW!
