The Last of Us

Illustration of Pedro Pascal’s character in the hit tv show ‘The Last of Us’. The shows has many dark themes, being set in a post-apocalyptic world where a mutated fungus can turn people into zombie-like creatures.

For this illustration, I focused of the theme of good and bad. Pascal’s character, Joel, is considered a bad guy in his world but is doing good by transporting a teenager across the US to potentially save the world. He constantly battles his true nature and the person who he wants to be, which I visualised by showing the ‘growth’ coming from from his head.

The show is ultimately based on nature taking over, which is why the growth looks like branches and reach up to almost look like horns.
