Illustration made for Kursk - one of the first documentary video games inspired by real events. It has been mostly used as a loading screen and marketing material.
My personal artistic goal was to build composition focused around vertical lines. The use of pure digital painting (with minimal use of photo or 3D materials) was also important for me, while creating this series. Inspired by the style of Greg Rutkowski I took the opportunity to practice traditional media look, which has always been corresponding with my personal interests in art.
This painting does not represent an authentic location. It meant to resemble Moscow in the year 2000, as an attempt to reinforce the narrative and emotional aspect of the place (which could be more difficult to transfer through 3D levels).
