What an iconic cover this was! That week the talk of the town was the chads from WSB. The idea was to go for a semi photo-realistic digitally painted version of the avatar. His glasses reflect the paparazzi camera flashes as he gently moves from side to side.
My favorite little detail on that is the little Reddit pin on his suit. All in all creating digital paintings like this are quite a time-demanding process. You can see in the timelapse video how the layers of colors are gradually applied.
The pseudo-3D effect requires manually create a depth map for the drawing, simply put lighter areas are closer to the camera than the dark ones.
