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 read some of the comments and I see I wasn't the only one to see Boreanaz in your depiction.Β Also I'm curious why your signature is not present?Β Β Mind, when I do an artwork, if it does not have my signature on it then I do not consider it finished.Β Once I've signed it that is all she wrote, it is done.

So was meeting one of your hero's all you wanted it to be?Β Β Β Β Also, I think the characters look a little like David Boreanaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar.Β Β For some reason I see Nathan Drake aka Nathan Morgan as Nathan Fillion...Β Oh yeah, its because he is Drake in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5CZQpβ¦
Have you seen it?
Great work as always, but then have you ever not done anything perfect?

This is amazing. It looks like books I'd pick up as a kid and couldn't put them down. Your art is awe inspiring!
I love Indiana Jones styled books. You are so talented.

Β This is an image that speaks volumes (and is rather excellent in it's own right), but what it's saying is:-Β
Nate Drake: "Anything you can do, I can do better Doctor Jones!"
Β The kid is good, but he ain't THAT good (not yet, anyway).

If there's going to be a 4th Uncharted, there is only one treasure I would like Nathan to go after... the Philosopher's Stone.

Dude. Why aren't you doing movie posters? This sort of story promotioning is EXACTLY what's missing in film these days. The charaters are memorable and expressive. I can pretty much surmise their personalities just from this single image. The map tenders a globe trotting exhileration to it, the main character a sense of gruff pragmatic suspense and danger; which is punctuated tastefully by the dynamic action pose of the bottom character, smuggling treasure under her arm, and the skull in the back ground. This is a smart, incredibly eyecatching composition, man. Way to be a badass.
Sorry if I gushed too much over your work just then. I've been kind of on a movie poster rant/kick for the past two hours. I'm just so tired of how starved story promotions are for description. Like in the new Star Trek poster...what the fuck is that supposed to be? I have no context, no clues whatsoever as to the significance of that image. There's no characters, no flavor, no real hints at the overall story: its just a caliginous pile of slag pile and a big gaping hole. Symbolic of the budget and script I have no doubt.

You made Nate the perfect mix of Nathan Fillion, Brendan Fraser, and Nolan North. Mm.. <3

Eh, more David Boreanaz than Brendan Fraser. I always felt Fraser was too broad in the mummy movies. Especially those last two.
