WHAT OUR ARTISTS HAD TO SAY
Geeky Ninja
My artwork for A Plague Tale: Requiem has a simple ‘journey’ narrative to it. Similar in style to the travel posters of the early-mid 20th century, I wanted to invoke a sense of adventure by showing our main characters Amicia and Hugo standing together, protective of each other looking out over the landscape ahead of them. In the distant horizon we see the prophesied island that may hold the key to saving Hugo. The new world Amicia and Hugo must travel through is represented by vibrant, rich colours while the dark elements reference the supernatural forces that still haunt our main characters.

Amicia and Hugo slowly walk through the black sea of suffering in the form of rats, their way marked by a path of red rose petals and leaves.
Screaming soldiers are being devoured all around them by the fangs of the rats that destroy everything and everyone in their way and now even in their name. The waves of rats now threaten to engulf not only the two siblings but also the island in front of them, if they continue walking that path of destruction.
I decided to take the viewer with them on their journey with this illustration design. For Amicia and Hugo there is only one goal in mind, to reach the island together.

A Plague Tale is a fascinating story about hope, bonding, and unconditional love against a hostile and dangerous dark world. With that in mind, I tried to emphasize the siblings’ bonding and determination against the sinister plague. And Create a painting pinpointing their purposefulness to salvation. Preserving their fragile nature at the same time.
