Not whether we win or lose...

...but how we play the game.

An entry for the Inception Comic Cover Art Contest. Nothing like waiting until the last minute!
I really wanted to get that comic book feel to it. While reading the script, I got a feeling of this matrix constructed by a program. I wanted the world to be breaking apart around the main character. The further you get away from the MC, the more fake and 2-d the world seems, as though he's the only one holding the world together.
Here he's facing off against a shadowy figure. These two are the only people alive getting ready to fight each other.
The guy in black is based on the character from the script, Saito. He has a cool motorcycle scene at the beginning so I wanted to draw him looking badass in this pic (with the motorcycle, of course...and katana).

I referenced a few motorcycles for this one (mechanical parts are complicated!). I also referenced a couple buildings from the stills to get the street right.

Wish me luck!
