Illustration for Universal Studios: King Kong Reimagined in Rockabilly Style
I'm excited to share one of my latest creations, commissioned by Universal Studios, featuring a unique take on King Kong. This time, the iconic giant ape gets a rockabilly makeover, complete with a slick pompadour and sideburns, giving him a retro vibe that's hard to miss.
For this illustration, I chose dark blue tones, contrasted with a vibrant vermillion to add energy and depth. The design is framed by bold lettering spelling out "KING KONG", with the tagline "Let's go ape" in smaller text. Surrounding the design are stars that subtly evoke the American flag, a nod to the character's cinematic roots.
King Kong is depicted in a three-quarter view, standing stoic and massive, emphasizing his strength and presence. It was a real pleasure to be commissioned for this unique project, blending pop culture with vintage aesthetics.
