The Last of Us - Can't Escape Your Past By PessBont Watch

25 Favourites 2 Comments 3K Views

Originally made for a reddit contest. The theme was to draw Joel/Ellie/Sarah together in some context of "You can't escape your past."



*SPOILERS HEREIN*

I had originally thought to try something fairly dramatic with Joel carrying Ellie out of the hospital and it mirroring the beginning with him and Sarah, but then it occurred to me how much of the game's power derives from its "less is more" mentality, and I wanted to create something in line with that. I remembered this scene (from which the contest theme was derived), and I realized that the simple gesture of Ellie giving Joel the picture of him and his daughter so profoundly and beautifully symbolizes the growth of their relationship over the course of the game. It's subtle, deeply emotional storytelling at its finest, and I knew I wanted that to be my subject.

*SPOILERS HEREOUT*



Credit for characters and story of The Last of Us all go to Naughty Dog, I'm just a devoted fan who likes to draw their characters sometimes.
