Spartacus Gods Of The Arena Key Art

These are the final versions of both the vertical and horizontal Key art for the Starz Original television series, "Spartacus Gods Of The Arena". These were the main illustrations used to promote the series and were seen in publications, press kits, billboards, web sites, television commercials, etc. These pieces required substantial 2D work in creating an arena background with nothing but Illustrator and Photoshop. Character development included retouching, lighting, specialized effects including adding blood and a photographic treatment to enhance the details. Photography of Gladiator: Michael Muller. Art Director: Kirk Fennel. Creative Director: Rama Wong.
