When I saw the Stranger Things season 2 trailer with the boys wearing Ghostbusters costumes, I knew I had to make it into an illustration. It was a bit harder than I imagined, and honestly there are still things I want to tweak on it, but I think it’s good enough for now. I’m really pleased with the colors and the shadow (the new perspective tool in Illustrator CC is…different).
This was an exact rendering of the sketch I created initially. I liked the boys and the trees, but not together. The nighttime while very night, is too damned dark.
Night in this version is much better, but the trees still are wonky.
Still working on the trees, and finally realized that if I was going to make the forest look drenched in nighttime, I had to do the same for the boys.
I still kind of like the title being in the sky, but I’d miss the stars (I think they would make the text hard to read).
I almost called this version the final one. Then I thought…shadows…
