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 really love the way this turned out, Sullivan and Cloe look spot on. I know a lot of people have already said something about Drake's face. In general it's amazing, your faces always have a lot of character and just look freaking genius especially when colored. However in comparing it to how Drake is portrayed in the game and what I personally envision him as, his face just makes him appear too thick. He seems like a football player rather than a sleek rogue thief. Regardless of however, this is your rendition of him and it looks great. I would definitely love to see you do more from this series in the future if possible. Either way, I look forward to seeing more of your work. 8D

YESSSS!!! I love the Uncharted games & I'm loving this, unsurprisingly. Looks like you were thinking David Boreanaz as Nate. Great stuff as always, Ace!

So this is how you draw men? I must say I'm surprised because your women are more widely known.
I completely approve of this Drake

Excellent job Adam. I like the updated look that you gave Drake a lot. It was rad before, but I agree with you that it is more accurate now. [link]

I like this because Drake looks like David Boreanaz. Who's always been my number 1 pick to play Drake in the movie.

you know what I admire about you the most, Your open and honest about your work. I still think you added the right level of character in this piece then just making a cold mechanical copy over screen shots like other artists would have done.
DAMN DOES SULLY LOOK SMOOOOOOOOOTH.

I can't imagine how much you must have felt honored! THE Drew Struzan, wow. And you really deserve it!
I love this cover (as I love every single illustration you do, I think), and it's a great homage, I can totally see the Indiana Jones poster in it.

Amazing.
Seeing the small view I thought "Drew Struzan", but then I said to me "Hey, you don't have the Drew Struzan's Deviantart."
A great job, Mr. Hughes, as always.

Man... that must be great. The legendary Drew Struzan himself, at your table.
Kinda like the dream I have of the legendary Adam Hughes himself, thumbing through my portfolio at my table.
GORGEOUS WORK, of course!
