A little tribute to one of my favorite franchises. An open world action game, the original Watch Dogs by Ubisoft is a personal favorite and with a sequel on the way in less then a month, now’s a good time for a little fan art, and a series of character posters based off of this image. I love this kind of thing. It gives me a chance to have a little fun, with a brand I really enjoy. Digital art and maker culture is actually a big part of Watch Dogs 2’s vibe and aesthetic and it’s been fun putting my own spin on it.
It’s also interesting to end up with a style I’m really interested in doing more with. In my pursuit of new styles to try my hand at I’ve landed at the crossroads of choppy, fractured vector and slightly more detail. I love the balance between the lower fidelity of the facetted mosaic style of most of my floral work, and something with a little more “texture”. It’s closer to the look of the telephone poles series I did, and has an almost painterly style that will be interesting to experiment with on future projects.
