User @IconicNephilim has brought to life a stunningThe Last of Us 2fan poster using Photoshop. In a five minute YouTube time-lapse video, viewers can see the long process and intricate detail that went into creating the realistic work of art, that showcases all the major characters from the game in a movie style poster.
The art on Twitter was posted with Joel’s iconic line “if, somehow, the lord gave me another chance at that moment… I would do it all over again,” which is also a nice metaphor for some of the themes explored within the game. The poster has drawn huge praise online and was even retweeted by the game’s creative director, Neil Druckmann. Other fan art forThe Last of Us 2has been similarly well received, such as an awesomepixel art recreation of Ellie.
The Naughty Dog franchise is well-known for its amazing game design, which has filled multiple official art books since its release. The game has a massive team of concept artists and designers that help bring the post-apocalyptic world to life which is likely part of the reason fans have been inspired topay tribute toThe Last of Us 2through their own art work.
With no official word on ifThe Last of Us Part 3will happen, the next thing fans have to look forward to is theHBO adaptation of the game to television. This fan poster already looks movie ready, so should the producers ever need artists or designers for the new series, they have plenty of talented fans ready to contribute.
