Blackjack: RIGHTS: Behind the Scenes! Greetings Dieselfunkateers!  Alexander Simmons is back at it again.  In collaboration with partner Chris Ryan these cats decided to do a story about AMERICA, what it means to be AMERICAN, and the Blackjack drama that all that entails.  I was asked to contribute visuals for this project and went through different iterations.

Design Brief:  The brief was very basic in providing descriptive keywords.

Rough:  Sometimes the visuals come immediately.  So the basic layout was done very quickly.

Pose Variants:  Of course once I got far enough in the design I had to choose the best pose for Arron Day aka ‘Blackjack.  Did we want the 1. I double dare you to make a move. 2.  i’m gonna shoot first variant.  3.  Guns blazing variant,   We choose variant 1.

Reference Photos:  Hey, the Internets Rocks:-)

Final:  A bit of Photoshop and Manga Studio and ‘Voila.   I’m a huge proponent of integrating typography with images so its was just a matter of a few tweaks.

Very PROUD, once again, to be affiliated with the works of Simmons and Ryan and BLACKJACK.
