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.

CREDITS

- ImagineFX magazine Issue 88 and 89 for awesome resources and neat brushes.
- In game screenshots for Desmond and Juno references.
- Ubisoft for Assassin's Creed series.
- Will add more soon...

Amazing artwork with a great love for details. Of course the clothes of Desmond and Juno are perfectly made, but the background with the effects and the lighting and the slivers which could be like a in-between-world next to the Animus and the real world.

The artwork really implies that Juno has some power over Desmond as his eyes are in the dark and she is with him to guide him – to a good or a bad goal.
Juno's fiery red eyes hint to her inner feelings of anger over humanity. To achieve that she "guides" Desmond to the end. He's the White Knight who will sacrifice himself for humanity. And he is the key to break her from her prison

The artwork really shows the complexity and irony in Demond and Juno's relationship.

This piece of art is quite amazing. It flows beautifully and it shows that Juno has some sense of power of Desmond (which, in a way, she does.)

Everything is drawn in great detail, from Juno's outfit to Desmond's jacket. Everything seems right on point.

The vision is clear in this picture and I have yet to see something similar to this, it's different. It has a great impact on me aswell, it's like, what's gonna happen next? What will Juno do with Desmond?

Overall this piece is wonderful, you obviously spent a lot of time on this and it paid off. Great work!

This is probably one of the best Assassin's Creed fanart out there. It looks original, it's aesthetically beautiful, and you've managed to portray the characters and their stories in a very accurate way.. :love: Love, love :heart:

I think in the end he resolved it with his own decision knowing the gravity of the situation.

Despite that, it's sucks because no more Desmond; many may not feel it, but he IS the main protagonist ^^;

Yes, I always think their relationship is poetry, but in a tragic Shakespearean way :nod:
Many thanks for the view! XD

I actually got shivers when I saw this. The plot to this story is consistently keeping me on the edge of my seat and always will. ( I hope lol!) Juno *enter spoilers here* and her ties to Desmond are detrimental. I wonder how this will all tie up... Good work bro!

Yes, here is a poetic depiction of their relationship, and of course Juno got the better deal out of it. Man I can't wait what Ubisoft will come next with AC4, maybe we get to fight Juno lol
