This is a project I completed about a year ago. A client requested an illustration of Indiana Pacers' guard, Victor Oladipo. I felt it was right and I wanted to do it to pay respects to the valiant effort that he made in the 2018 NBA Playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I enjoyed creating this piece very much and I hope that you enjoy viewing it!

Below is the reference image that was used. The client themselves had sent me the image and described how they wanted it illustrated and so, I took care of it!

Here's a nice side-by-side to show each stage of progression:

To cap it off, I added a background which included the names of past Indiana Pacers players who had impacted the team in some way.

Lastly, here's a quick zoomed in look at the Black Panther mask that I thought looked awesome after making it!
