Jaded

IF (Illustration Friday) 1/2/15, the topic was Invention.  The idea for this one came quickly, but it was the overall layout I had trouble with capturing.  After several sketches, and some time researching which led me to several tangents, I came up with the final product.  I decided to depict the transformation of fictitious physicist Dr. Bruce Banner into the infamous Hulk.  Originally I wanted to illustrated the Hulk's face using background elements and an explosion, but that became too difficult, eventually I came upon an image of a mushroom cloud that looked like there was a face in, and that became my inspiration.  The piece is entirely digital done in Painter, with some manipulations done in Photoshop.
