Black Adam : Rage | Mickaeljournou

Be the first to love this poster

My full digital painting artwork for a contest. A goal should scare you a little, and excite you a lot. That was the case for this project!
I wanted to emphasize every theme of the contest brief: “disruption, action/aventure and, especially, power born from rage” so it was really important to me to make something that would speak to Dwayne Johnson and show a Black Adam full of rage and where it came from. To include Adam and his son because that’s where it all began. I love the emotional depth to this.
I drew some sketches on paper for overall composition, then I digitally painted every character on larger separate files before putting everything together on my poster. I actually used my own father’s hands as reference for drawing Adam’s hands (thought it would be a nice link haha).
I wanted to make a cool poster, but it had to have meaning and I love to put meaning to the details. I wanted to show that his son’s death is what really fuels him so I associated this scene to the glowing symbol on his chest and I made the lightnings being “pulled” from the scene to his hands, turning from warm yellow to cold blue. I liked the meaning behind this a lot. Also, the JSA represents justice in the movie so I put each team member on pillars (like the four principles of justice, often referred to as the four pillars!). The JSA will be the pillars of justice in the movie but Black Adam challenges that, so there are cracked parts (since hieroglyphs were not allowed, I decided to create original symbols inspired by those on Adam’s suit). It took me nearly 50 hours of work from start to finish but I had a blast working on this! I hope everyone will like it and I wish you good luck! Can’t wait to see the movie!
