Is Polopolo.co.uk Real

Process for the illustration of Yuri Gagarin

Odisseis long time asked me to make him a figure to commemorate its 50 anniversary blog launching the first man into space .
I gladly accept this assignment, which was very interesting for several reasons:
Address the issue of the conquest of space, as I said then Oddiseis , from the perspective of crazy pioneer, dreamer and icon (a turning point in the history of astronautics and human capacity) and purely stylistic interest.
me explain. It was very interesting to put my own style in a very specific time (age 60), with a very specific aesthetic and function (the simplicity and functionality of the Soviet nationalist propaganda).
In fact, during the process I changed details to get closer to the style of posters of that time so I ended up completely removing the ink, I chose a particular color palette, flat shaded, and I decided to finish with noise (mimicking the old system of colored frames).
The result was very pleasing to Oddiseis , which encouraged me to publish the picture not only itself but the process of creation. So here is the summary of this process that I enjoyed so much: 01_Escaneado pencil before inking.
02_Entintado the foreground color before treatment with Photoshop.
03_Primeras color proofs.
04_Colores final and ink correction (discarded).
05_Sombreado and background.
06_Dibujo Vostok base.
07_Composición the background and text fonts (before finishing with noise).
