This was a lot of fun to do; a pitch for a Wii videogame cover featuring Zorro, devised with the great people at Runstrong. We had some room to define the character and the setting, and in a concept board I proposed we include the classic Disney character as one of the references, and maybe add a bit of Douglas Fairbanks in there as well.

We were happy with an attitude that isn’t the common brooding, dark hero, but the smirking swashbuckler we used to follow when we were kids. We settled on this sketch.

Something I set out to achieve was an outlined look to the main figure, not only to bring it forward but also to refer to a cell-shading effect on the game itself:

And to complete the cover I designed a logotype for the game (with a tentative title).

I hope the result is an exciting cover that speaks of a quality title.
