A celebratory poster for the Smash series in commemoration of the series' 25th anniversary. I wanted to do something big for the occasion since Smash is very special to me. I wanted to draw the original 12 Smashers in one composition, but figuring out how to fit them all there to create a coherent scene was a difficult challenge that almost made me drop the project. However, thankfully I was able to make something work one day after a long break. This was also the first time I used CMYK to illustrate digitally since I had plans to print this poster physically, and it was interesting work around the limitations that mode has.
