A little birdie told me how you can’t get enough of 3D street art illusions! So here we go again: Warner Bros. has recently commissioned “Planet Streetpainting” art crew to create something that would help generate buzz for their upcoming video game LEGO: Lord of the Rings. It’s interesting to hear how all this came to be – After seeing their 3D LEGO Terracotta Army, the interactive division of Warner Bros. contacted Planet Streetpainting to create something completely unique for them. The end-resault was made at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, where the large 11×13 meter piece was completed on canvas. The original design was conceived by Leon Keer, art director of Planet Streetpainting.
“I made a design with two main characters of the movie (Frodo and Aragorn) but then made them stand out as Lego figures. In the design, you will encounter a Lord of the Rings landscape and several elements, like they would appear in the game.” – Leon Keer
“Design was made by me and the creation was done by Planet Streetpainting artists Peter Westerink, Roland Josuttis, Julio Jiménez and me. It was a great experience, although it was tough staying focused with all the crazy costumed people passing by.” – Leon
Even more impressive than the finished 3D painting are the making-of shots. Notice how distorted the piece becomes when viewed from different angles.
I love these. I like it when they show, not only how they did it, but the pics from differen’t angles to.
pretty good, but not the best I’ve seen.
You gotta love these 3D sidewalk drawings. I wish I could come across one in the world and not just on the interweb :/
Thnx again Mighty Optical Illusion
Fantastic!
Finally a “making of” to show the process. I’ve often wondered what the details were and the different camera angles.
thanks.
Awesome!
Presssious!
um u spelt presssssious wrong its obvs precious so yeah
This is some cool, cool artistic folks
This is awful-it’s like a child’s cartoon and an insult to Tolkien’s masterpiece.
IT’S SOOOOOOOOOOO COOL.
IT’S LIKE A NINJAGO LEGO MODEL.
Ingeniously done! Worthy of Holbein or Lazzarini!
