- The client had specific images they wanted using, and they were challenging to fit together!
- I settled on a movie poster style layout, with heroes at top and the world-building detail below. The spaceship selected wasn't too dynamic, so I added in some ships that I mocked up from model components and photographed.
- Image editing, compositing and digital painting was done in Krita. Typography and layout done in Inkscape.
- The cloud effect was done with layers upon layers of Krita painting, and took a lot of work to get to client's satisfaction - I erred toward less, she wanted more. She was right! It really blends the imagery, hides the unwanted digital sharpness of the soldier, and cnojures the world the author wanted to evoke.
Fun and challenging project - more please! :-)
