Description
Medium :Traditional Watercolour on board.
Size (11x16 inches) A3
Research :
The resource provided wasn’t sufficient enough to get an actual idea of the game or the characters involved. Therefore I had to go through tons of interviews, walk through videos plus additional hi-res images from Game spot,so that I can actually focus my mind and get deep into the characters and somewhat “TRY” to think like the creators of Ubisoft team –they are just great and personally I think the character designs were exceptionally detailed and awesome.
So, I got the entire story of the game and the characters involved- the heroes, the villains ,the environment and the elements of the game. Then finally came up with a composition which reflects the game itself and tells the story of the game.
Composition Description:
The idea was to divide the composition into two segments –the darkness caused by the corruption of Ahriman and the light cause by the healing touch of Elika.So as you can see in the composition a guardian called the 'Alchemist' covering the entire sky raising his army of corruption thus leaving that part of the composition to a darken bluish black colour.And on the other side is Elika and according to the game she re-stores the light to the environment and as a result it is in warm Reddish orange colour.
Now, the prince being in the middle suggests that He is the barrier between darkness and light and the expression is portrait by his gauntlet which divides the composition into two not to mention he has to look “cool” too.
Unfortunately I don’t have Xbox360/Ps3 and didn’t get a chance to play the game. So in my original composition I added the “ Sacred Tree of life” behind prince’s head and from the tree emerges the Alchemist –but afterward I realized that the tree itself turned into the Alchemist
( which is just my assumption by looking at the details in the tree and the villain) and decided not to go with it, so if I am wrong ...then I am just Human.
Conclusion:
I loved the previous prince of Persia games in PS2 and my first was Prince 3d where he actually used to jump from walls,slide on the floor as he ran and it was pure fun back in those days. And look where his journey has taken him now-Good luck to Ubisoft creative team and hope the adventure never ends.

I was sure it was digital art, until I've read the category. That's simply amazing that you've made all of that beautiful shades and light effect only with watercolor. It's one of the best Prince of peria fan art I've ever find here on DA.
