Blur was asked to do a CG illustration for Rise of Legends to used as a magazine cover. Lucky me got to design it! I had a nice pile of cg assets to play with, the theme being: action!

Step 1 in this kind of thing involves me wracking my brain for a bunch of quick thumbnail designs. I explore different compostions, character groupings, etc. Finally, I slap some tones on these frenetic little drawings to make 'em more readable.
