Hold on

Wanted to create some artwork inspired by the 'Last of Us Part 2'. I used it as an experimental exercise in using the lasso tool to create shapes and colour. Also used some colour dodge and burn to bring some vivid fire into the work :)
Credit to Naughty Dog and Sony for the Last of Us series as source of inspiration.
