Description

Photoshop CS6: Painting, Airbrushing and Illustration. 20 hours +/-

- Part of the AC's philosophy is about the blurred lines between good and bad, this art I attempt to show the pure depiction of both Juno and Des without the notion of who's playing protagonist and antagonist. So, to derived to a standstill conclusion is not ideal as it's a cycle of revolving truth and idealism; you just can't pick out the truth because it's a constant motion from one side to another.

- This depiction is symbolically prevalent in AC3. You have to complete the game to really immerse in the contradictory and 'elusive uneasiness' in the portrayal as it celebrates irony in a harmonious and serene atmosphere.

- My rendition of Juno is portrayed as pure, sacred, and almost 'motherly' looking, someone you aspect to provide guidance - almost angel-like. I believe this is her true nature. Though nothing is what it seems due to circumstance...as revealed in the game.
I believe she is broken within and driven to make things right in her own account. This has took a turn on things from what the First Civilization was planning all along; IMO in some ways Juno's action made her the first 'higher being' to become 'human'...a fallen deity.

This really emphasizes the relationship between these two characters, Juno guiding Desmond through what could be a metaphorical void of paths and choices, maybe life? It could even be the setting between missions within the game. This shows that we have a freedom to choose what the background means/is which is important as it allows us to have our own interpretations. What Juno is doing in this represents how she is guiding him, the turning of the head really shows this, her facial expression gives a expression of commandment and importance which shows her desperation to be free. Desmond on the other hand doesn't have much of a facial expression but rather a simple one, this could also be that he is giving a focused look, this shows that he might me well aware of what Juno is doing but it would seem irrelevant to him showing that he knows the danger, and he is prepared to make any sacrifices. The effects in this piece are really well placed and give a distorted look meaning that we focus more on the characters more. The originality within this piece is true originality. There hasn't been a portrayal of these two characters is inspired, the title "White Knight" Really gives us the clear intentions of what you are trying to portray. The impact of this image really is fantastic as it shows a whole new kind of relationship that we may never have thought with these two character.

Overall this is a masterpiece and this deserves all the attention is can get. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
