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...

I could stare this cover all day long. It's just amazing!
I don't care about this "look like David Boreanaz" thing... Some people look like other ones and nobody gives a s**t. I like your intepretetion, it's much better than copying it just like it is.

Well?
Adam?
Did you have a conversation with Drew? Or did you stutter and drool as most of would have done?
What were the exact exchange of words between you two?
We must know!

While I can't help but think you have Drake looking like a young David Borenaz, the piece as a whole still deserves a resounding:
Seriously, it's pretty damn amazing.

Id love this even more if Elena werent included. Chloe is the only girl that matters in this game, she's awesome and already knew how to wield a gun... unlike elena.. Damn that grenade in uncharted 2 for not killing her!!!

SilentMortal In reply to Rendever [2011-12-22 07:29:32 +0000 UTC]
Wow, not cool dude. Elena was been arond since the first game, and even there she learned how to use a gun. What's your problem against her?

Rendever In reply to SilentMortal [2012-01-03 02:05:11 +0000 UTC]
I just think Chloe is 100x better than her... in ever way.
Shes more street smart.
Granted Elena does start to catch on, but Chloe is just so much more mysterious and that just makes her character. Elena on the other hand, i just... well Elena.

SilentMortal In reply to Rendever [2012-01-03 02:23:20 +0000 UTC]
I didn't expect you to comment back, seeing as you didn't respond to me...like, weeks ago?
Anyway, Chloe is cool, but Elena is one of the more important character's in Uncharted. She was here since the very beginning.
You call Chloe ''street smart'' but yet, Elena is still more experienced then her. For instance, She knows how to speak different language's, is an expert at journalism and so on. Their's nothing mysterious about Chloe.
So she's more skilled with firearms then Elena, big-freaking-deal. Shooting isn't rocket-science y'know? Everyone could learn it.
It's completely fine to like Chloe more, but saying stuff like ''Elena needs to die!'' is stupid. That's like saying ''Sully needs to die!''
And you and I both know that Sully and Elena are a huge part of Nate (so is Chloe) It's what makes his character. Nate is obviously in love with Elena.
