Go Cadillac
Was a lot of fun creating this single artwork for AJ Mack’s ‘Go Cadillac’.
AJ sent a nice, succinct brief — him in a Cadillac blasting into space. The song features a sample from Japanese hip hop/electronic group M-Flo’s ‘Mars Drive’, so we paid homage to that.
Process
Thumbnails
Here are some of the initial thumbnail roughs. I always start a project with these to lock down the composition before any detail is added.
Next step was to try a different car angle (more realistic) with AJ in cowboy and baseball caps. The third I added some musical equipment in the back seat.
Sketches and WIP
Changed up the arm a bit, and for the WIP (Work-in-Progress) we went from yellow to classic red caddy.
Finished Art
After adding the shading and details, we have the finished art. Have a listen here!
