Tobatron : Far Cry 6

Tobatron was invited to collaborate on popular video game Far Cry, and create a series of illustrated documents that can be found by players to help them build weapons from discarded found objects.

He wanted to make the documents look like they had been produced by a guerilla fighter with access only to very limited and antiquated printing technology.

The drawings were initially created in Adobe Illustrator, then printed out and scanned back into Photoshop to finish the composition.

Tobatron is the alter ego of London based artist – Toby Leigh.
