Over the past few weeks a talented digital artist by the name of Reid Southen has been feverishly working away on a promotional illustration for Rawkets. The brief was to create an artist's impression of what Rawkets might look like in real life, and it had to be epic. I can safely say that Reid easily surpassed the brief, creating an absolutely mind-blowing illustration.
The illustration has been printed at a staggering 1.2m by 2m and will be on display at the Bournemouth University Launch exhibition next week, where I will be demoing Rawkets alongside the projects from other students at the university. Definitely come along if you're around Bournemouth between the 24th and 26th of May!
So without further ado, feast your eyes on this beauty (click the image for a larger version) and make sure to check out Reid's other work:
For those who are interested, there will be a wallpaper version available in the near future.
