Deliberation

Personal Illustration about critical decisions, winner of the Exposé MASTER Illustration Award in 2013.

Origins

Originally released as a Photoshop Tutorial, its making was documented during the whole process, with +250 screenshots and was released as on PSD Tuts by the Envato Network. Some of the key points of the tutorial were: image masking, texturing, composition and post-production. You can access the full Photoshop tutorial by clicking here.

The image was later requested by the record label Epochal Artists/EMI for the album “Another Life” by the rock band Empathic.

Recognition

Later on, several magazines all over the world got it on their covers, like Mercury Magazine (Department of Business Studies, Uppsala University, Sweden), Speechless (Italy), the Medical Doctors Union Journal of United Kingdom or by Diario di Pensieri (Italy) on “What women don’t want”, a book regarding the violence against women. It was also used for a mental health symposium by the University A Distancia de Madrid (Spain).

The illustration received the Master Award in Surreal Illustration on the 11th edition of Exposé in 2013, one of the most important digital art catalogs, and was used for the promotional campaign of the 7th Creative Pro Show in Rome (2014). This Making Of video was created for the event Photoshop Rockstars by Adobe in Callao City Lights (Madrid, Spain).
