¡Hi Steemit!

my tribute to my favourite character ever!

Hope you like it!


- Sinopsis -

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) es el protagonista de la serie The Walking Dead transmitida por AMC y Fox es el líder la comunidad de Alexandria en el mundo apocalíptico. Esta show trata generalmente de los conflictos de la supervivencia de las personas en un apocalipsis zombie, quizás uno de los rasgos más importantes del show es que se centra en la convivencia y las relaciones entre los sobrevivientes, teniendo así la oportunidad de desarrollar una historia emocionante con el transcurso de los años.

Im a big fan since the first espisode was broadcasted almost 10 years ago, I recently found out that the next season would be the last of the cowboy. That is why i want to pay tribute to one of my favorite character in a Tv Show. The last goodbye of Rick Grimes will be a emocional moment.

- The poster -

The Poster is a graphical synthesis that transmit the essence of the character through the use of forms, colors and textures. Choosing the darkest and the brightest tones of the image with can simplify the traits of the face and his clothes. Therefore, i've choosen as a base a great Andrew's promo picture of the next season. I used a hard font to create more impact in the viewer.

- Creative Process -

1. Choosing a picture

As you can see, the picture shows an older and wiser Rick Grimes, with a strong and penetrating look. It is perfect to represent the final chapter of the character.

2. Synthesize the blacks

The markest traits will be taken in this step (darkest) i think this is the most important because we take the facial expression and that is why we need to be carefull.

The clothes is a quite different to his beard, here i draw the fine lines with the border of the pen to continue the curve of the folds.

Here is a look with all the black shape done!
Can you recognize him, right? -

3. The color

Let's choose an attractive color palette. In this case i've used the magenta analogy with different tones. Under the same concept, we will be taking the brightest forms of the picture with the goal of generate a balanced gradient.

color 1.jpg!

In the beginning It will look plane, but we build a great gradiant with different tones of the same colors, taking the darkest shadows in the face.

We are almost there! This siynthesize has 5 shapes of color, it will change depending of what level of detail you want. Remember to add the shine with something close to the white.

Now we have Rick painted with a nice color palette

3. Typography

We can se the same font of the show (Dead Kansas). so i wrote his name in the background to create a better 3D look. This font has the peculiarity of being elegant and wild at the same time. I also added a ''Walker'' with his mouth open.

Something interesting about the poster is that you can play with the planes. We have here Rick in the first, but if we add the text behind him we have 2 planes now creating a cool sensation of a 3D form. The "Walker" is a great touch because it gets darker and more horrifying.

3. Textures

The final touches are in the textures above the synthesis, as we are talking about a Zombie TV show, i show the stage wear with leather, dirty stones, mud, and blood.

Adobe Photoshop allows you to play with the opacity of the forms, we do not need this texture at 100% because it is strong. Just melt the shape with the draw until you are satisfied.

Here is a better look of the new texture layer, remember to mix all you think can help you to give him more expression.

And there you go! The poster is done.
