The Oracle
The Oracle is a digital illustration created as concept art for a high fantasy video game. The image shows a scene from a land with a legend that returns once every several centuries. In the legend, messengers from the gods arrive and announce the dawn of a new era. The design joins the form of a monolith with the presence of a great whale to suggest a mighty being. The artwork was hand drawn with a photo bashing method in image editing software and measures 6200 by 3150 pixels. Research into architecture and old customs supports the imagined world.
The Oracle Illustration by Tsutomu Kitazawa was highlighted as a grand representation of communication design by the A' Design Award & Competition.

The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which rewards outstanding design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
