Contest: Sapporo CANvas Entry

Description

   In hindsight I probably did too much, but there was so much I wanted to put in from the dragon, samurai, cherry blossoms, then have to incorporate the Can and a Past and Present theme, so I decided to go big (I could have done better if I focused on just a few things instead of like 5, less is more people)! There are somethings I wish I had more time to work on, but I decided to just post it so I didn't miss out!

   Lets start out with the main event, the CAN! For this I wanted to go simple but stay with the Past/Present theme, so I took the 2 Can reference Sapporo gave us (the real Can and the water painting Can), cut off the background/samurai off of the painted can lined it up with the real can image. Cut them in half, then I drew out the extra details from the real can to the painted side (Mainly just the text) to look like a completed can! then gave it an outline that matched the dragon theme!

   For the dragon I pretty much just took an image of the dragon on the building at the end of the video, traced over it, then added a long body that became the main text border! The tail I just went simple so it wouldn't blend in with the grass (That was before I opacified the samurai image).

   The samurai on the right side I 100% drew, even down to every individual grass leaf... (It felt like it took a year) I took actual pictures of real Samurai from the past (from Bing), Cut them up intil I got a nice like small samurai army image. Went over them with a shaded outline, went dark because it's night time, did the same for the moon, and the Sapporo Logo.

If you follow the dragon's head all the way to the tail, the text reads: Let loose the dragon, Wage war on the night! So pretty much just party like a rockstar haha, I thought it would be a nice play of the theme! For the text I picked a nice typeface I thought looked good on the image, them traced around the edges with a paint brush to give the painted look the dragon and samurai have!

   The party side pretty much just represents the Present aspect of the pic, the light colors are actually from the can! I decided to brand both sides with the SAPPORO Logo, the left side it's like a club light, making it look like SAPPORO is hosting the club (Wish I could have worked on that a bit more), the right side it's just a space filler (Still looks really real nice, could be an ad all it's self!) The cherry blossoms are really to just add some color on the canvas areas!

I hope yu guys like my entry! Much love ~RaiZhuW

Even though you mentioned that you worked on this at the last minute, this looks pretty good. Really nice! :)
