This was my midterm submission for my class GIT230: Digital Illustration to Publishing! I used Adobe Photoshop to create this piece, and it is inspired by a video game called Need For Speed: Heat. Below are the official cover art used to market this video game.
For my project, I wanted to capture a sense of evading the cops when street racing. The official art and the game itself is very colorful and dramatic, so I added details such as the overexposure of the tail light glow streaks to the blur on the ground and street lights.
Images used to create the environment:
Since NFS: Heat is centered around illegal street racing, I figured a nighttime atmosphere with the city would make the most sense. I darkened the entire image since the foreground is a highway picture in the daytime. The road was missing lamp posts, so I added some from another image and copied them down the road to create more depth to the image. I then paired the cityscape with a painting of the night sky for the background; the night sky really compliments the glow of the city!
Images used to make the vehicle:
I used a similar vehicle model to transfer the brake lights of the white car onto the blue car. This allowed me to add tail light streaks and a red glow onto the road.
Thank you for viewing my project!
