Death Stranding fanart

Death Stranding is giving me strong emotions so I decided to paint something inspired by it.
The game opens with a powerfull cinematic. A short vocal intro ends with "And then came the next explosion"...an strong sentence that introduce us into this unknown future. Then the music starts accompanied by beautiful and desert landscapes.
I was totally fascinated by this intro. Totally the kind of stuff I love.

Initial sketch

I started painting on the sketch focusing on main shapes. Also I added a little of atmosphere and changed the far background to give more depth.

Time to finish all the details and play with the atmosphere (I hadn't any clear idea with the sketch so I took a little bit of time to search a nice mood).

For last I postproduced a little the image enhancing contrasts and sharpness.
