(Started Late February 2014, Finished Early March 2014.)

The World's End as many people know is my favourite comedy film to date, a laugh riot of a film that deserved a true master piece to be created as a representation of my love for the film....

This artwork request is dedicated to my cousin Jamie and my friend Keelan both of whom, like me, are massive fans of the film, and both of whom I first watched the film with during a screening of the entire 'Cornetto Trilogy' in cinemas last year. Which is also one of my most cherished comedy memories!

Like all of my best artwork pieces to date, I decided that, rather than rush in a basic background, I'd attempt to draw the World's End Pub, which proved to be harder than expected! I had to take reference from the pub in the film several times, and used an image of the real life pub which served as the location for the 'World's End'. As such, there may be a variation between my depiction and the actual appearance of the building in the film. The main image of Gary King and Andy Knightley was also based upon official promotional material used to advertise and promote for the film.

I had a blast designing this piece, including discussing the film with my friends throughout the process, watching the film on a daily basis to take influence and inspiration, and listening to the official original soundtrack which I purposely bought to inspire me. My favourites of the soundtrack being 'This Corrosion' by The Sisters of Mercy, and 'Loaded' by Primal Scream.

I hope you enjoy the final piece, and I'm rather happy with the final outcome! It was a great request to fulfil, and I look forward to eventually tackling a piece of fan art for both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz later in time!

Below can be found the reference images I used to create the above digital art work.

And Finally, if you're interested in seeing the process behind this piece and many more, or would like to see early updates of what I'm working on next, feel free to check out my Twitter account! I'd be more than happy to return the favour and follow some fellow artists!
