Wheel Of Time - Amazon Prime Video

I was invited by Amazon Prime Video and Bacánika to create a poster inspired by the launch of the series The Wheel of Time. The challenge was to capture the essence of this fantasy world and translate it into a composition that balances light and darkness, good and evil, and the eternal duality that drives the story.
For the creative process, I started with several sketching rounds to explore the visual hierarchy between heroes and villains. I wanted the viewer’s eye to move across the piece as if navigating between shadow and light. The central figure acts as an anchor, radiating mystical energy, while the surrounding characters and creatures create tension through their gestures and placement.
The color palette was built around deep blues, purples, and shadows contrasted with glowing highlights—seeking to emphasize both the darkness of the antagonists and the luminous aura of the protagonists. Textures and linework were deliberately stylized to convey intensity and drama, echoing the epic tone of the series.
This illustration is both a tribute to the vast universe of The Wheel of Time and an exploration of how graphic storytelling can visually translate the themes of conflict, destiny, and balance. #illustrator #illustrator
