Nathan Drake Was Here

Celebrating 30 years, Naughty Dog is having a T-shirt design contest at We Love Fine. Both the deadline and the prompt changed while I was in the middle of working on this piece, but oh, well. I really enjoyed making this one! I never do environments, so it was a huge challenge! Going so stylized is also new to me (if you look at my other stuff, I usually try to stay pretty "realistic" even with cartoons), so all in all I did, and re-did many of the shapes many times. The number one tool I used was the eraser, and all whites are transparent to lay the design on a white tee.

If I'd known the deadline was going to be extended, I'd've added more debris and the hand belonging to the body being crushed by the heli tail which drops the grenade. If I do have time over the next couple of weeks, though, I do have a new idea in mind geared more specifically towards "30 years".
