Process - Pilotwings

I did an illustration for Nintendo's NSider regarding a possible Pilotwings title for Wii. I started out with a line drawing on cream-tinted paper, then scanned the image into Photoshop and composited it against a background. After a bit of weathering on the glass and some early flats, it became clear that I needed an indication of power and vibration in the throttle—a Wii controller in this case. I duplicated the hand/remote element and offset it, selecting multiply for the top layer. This created the mechanical energy it needed.
