Devils Game

Devils Game

This project is a personal expression within Psico Skateboards, my brand, and stems from the need to combine a series of characters I've been developing into a single illustrative piece. Through this composition, I seek to capture the essence and style that characterizes my designs, inspired by the cartoon aesthetic of the 1950s and old publications by Disney, Casper, Richie Rich, etc.

To execute this design, I used a combination of traditional and digital tools. Initially, I worked with pencil and paper to freely sketch the composition, without worrying about proportions, allowing creativity to flow organically. Once the direction of the illustration was defined, I proceeded to digitize it using Adobe Illustrator and my One by Wacom graphics tablet. I usually use some custom brushes to achieve textures and effects.

The creative process began with a series of paper sketches where I explored different character arrangements and styles. After selecting the final composition, I digitized it in Illustrator, where I refined the contours and established the overall structure of the piece. I then worked on applying vibrant colors and halftone shading to add volume and depth. I ensured a visual balance between the elements, aiming for the illustration to convey a sense of movement and cohesion.

The final result is an illustration that attempts to capture the essence of the classic 1950s comic book style, adapting it to Psico Skateboards' visual identity. At the top of the piece, the leitmotif "It's not about luck, it's about trust" stands out, a message that reinforces confidence in the product and the brand's philosophy.
