Description

This is my entry for 's "Recreate a picture competition 2" [link] . Click the picture to view in full size.


A remake of the "John Wick: Chapter 2" Japanese movie poster. Original movie poster image here: sta.sh/0jibq2yajo9


Due to the slight cartoon-ish looks of the John Wick model from Fortnite Battle Royale I used for this work, I altered a bit the looks of the original poster to pretend this is the movie poster for an anime series based on the movie. My knowledge of Japanese is essentially non-existing, but アニメシリーズ is actually supposed to mean "The anime series" (and if I'm wrong, maybe someone fluent in Japanese will be kind enough to correct me... ).


Overall, I'm not terribly satisfied with how this came out... Maybe I shouldn't complain, since this was actually my third attempt at coming up with something decent to submit for the competition.

First attempt was a remake of the Dragon Age II cover art, replacing those hazy shadows behind Hawke with silhouettes of the companions and other relevant characters, but I was unhappy with how that looked. The second attempt was based on the same John Wick movie poster, except that instead of Baba Yaga himself I planned to have everyone's favorite assassin from the Mass Effect series: Thane Krios! Alas, I wasn't satisfied with how that came out either, so that how I ended up making this very picture...

Nice work with the recreation. 

I don't know why, but I was just wondering which assassin in a suit is better. John Wick or Agent 47?

Thank you! And that's a tough question for sure... Well, guess that Agent 47 might be the best with stealth and keeping a low profile, but John Wick certainly wins when it comes to who gets the higher body count! Not to mention he can down three guys with just a pencil!

You're welcome.


You're probably right. So the question might be who sees who first and makes his first move.  


Imagine if these two would work together.

Thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated. I was not too sure about this work, probably because of the two previous failed attempts at recreating a poster for the competition, but I feel comforted by your comment and those of all the others, thanks!

Hey, good to hear from you and it's great you like how this come out! There's something about the over-the-top action, the setting, the dark humor and the overall looks of the John Wick movies that really won me over, so recreating this poster felt totally fitting for the competition.
