ssick lab - Embers Over the Metropolis

PRINT ON PREMIUM MUSEUM-QUALITY PAPER 50 X 70 CM IN A LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES.

The work captures the majesty of Charizard as it soars over an expansive modern metropolis at sunset. The legendary Fire-type Pokémon is portrayed in a dynamic, powerful pose, with wings spread and jaws wide as they unleash vivid flames, while the setting sun on the horizon creates a striking contrast between the warm colors of the sky and the detailed shadows of the city beneath. The artistic style blends the classic aesthetics of animation with a cinematic perspective, making the image an iconic piece with strong visual impact.

Production method: Development of a preliminary visual architecture using AI generative models to define composition, tonal values, and color schemes, followed by a meticulous manual digital painting intervention aimed at perfecting anatomy, integrating custom textures, and imprinting the artist's distinctive stylistic signature.

The Collective: SSICK LAB We are a collective of young Italian artists of about 24 years old, born and raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture. SSICK LAB began as a creative laboratory where we experiment with the fusion of iconic aesthetics from contemporary media and historical visual languages. Our mission is to explore new expressive frontiers, placing technological innovation at the service of pure creativity.
