The 4 kids reinterpreted as low-poly 3D models.

Maya + Photoshop

Alternative - Diffferent gradient used in the background. The early version had Kenny without the wings + Cartman's arms on a different position. [link]

Making of - Using the same approach applied to the Star Wars Uncut shot [link] I tried to recreate the classic revenge theme from the show, with Cartman plotting against Kyle. 

I had to detach Cartman arms to make the perspective and composition work. I don´t remember why I used the Y axis as horizon, though.

I recicled some shaders and geometry from the Star Wars shot and created new ones, like Kenny's wings and "halo" which had some small amount of glow, direclt from the material.

Color correction and the background gradient were made in Photoshop.

South Park 3D - "The Plan"

Alternative - Vertical comp with a shorter lens. A close-up shot can be found here [link]

Making of - I recreated the classic bus stop background featured in the series, transforming it to low poly geometry. Basic shapes and no rigging. Both illustration took me like 4 days to make. This graphic style is reminiscent to Minecraft to lots of people, but back then, in 2009 when I made my first pic using this style I have not seen any screenshot of the game (which according to wikipedia was in alpha stage at the time), so is just a happy coincidence and more like a consequence of the love I grow to videogame pixel-art.

"The Passion" and "The Plan" were made for the "Year of the Fan" contest, held by the official South Park site, who encouraged fan to send fan-art to be featured in a special stand at San Diego ComicCon in 2011. Sadly, it was open to US & Canada residents only, so I ended posting these pics in the forum and on deviantart were they found an audience. :)
