So, a couple of weeks before QuakeCon, I was getting revved up to do a bunch of character art for the event's posters, like in years past.
However, my 'boss' of sorts, Nok, threw me for a totally awesome loop when he asked me to do poster-sized illustrations for the various departments that make QuakeCon happen. Apparently, people were really happy with the Volunteer poster I'd done the year before (see bottom-right poster).
Following the same theme as the poster I made last year, I knocked out five posters just in time to be sent to the printers.
Fortunately, they were extremely well received by staff members, volunteers, and attendees alike. To be honest, I was slightly worried about how well they'd be liked, so it was a relief to get the amount of praise I did.
They want me to make another set for next year, hopefully this time having a poster for EVERY department (yikes!)
Impressive, Amy--you've come such a long way from the Elder Days of TedDIE and chibbi Doom monsters. I can definitely see a lot of Luc LaTulippe in these posters. I love the lack of lines, since it adds a sense of official-ness to the posters that contrasts with their humorous content. And yes, I think my favorite is the Info Desk one. The posters for Security and Tournament are also delightfully wry.

Thank ye for the kind words, Tom-tom! And yes, the improvement is pretty apparent, hehe. It'll only be a couple of years before I look at my current work in disgust, I'm sure.
One major influence I had was Mary Blair, which I suspect Luc LaTulippe got his inspiration from in one way or another. She was an artist from waaaay back in the early days of Disney studios. Her amazing use of shape and color made her a rather important contribution to the design department. One could say she was well ahead of her time. None of the Disney artists at the time used anything similar to her style, but nowadays it seems to be popping up everywhere (partially because of Pixar, I think).
It's going good so far, I am finishing up the normal maps for my low poly models because I got some issues with them and have to edit them by hand in photoshop...gayness.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
