Proud! Indonesian Illustrator's Work Recruited by Marvel for 'VENOM: THE LAST DANCE' Promotion

Kapanlagi.com - Indonesian illustrator, Sony Wicaksana, received a golden opportunity from Sony Pictures to create promotional illustrations for the latest film titled Venom: The Last Dance, which will be released on October 24, 2024. This collaboration is a very special moment for Sony, as he is trusted to support a popular film that many Marvel fans are looking forward to.

Sony made the most of this opportunity. In about a month, he successfully completed the requested illustrations. Initially, Sony was surprised and did not expect to collaborate with Marvel, but he considers this experience as one of the most enjoyable moments in his career.

1. Beginning of Collaboration with Sony Pictures

Sony Wicaksana recounted that he was contacted by Sony Pictures around August 2024 to start working on this illustration. The creation process took about a month, including the revision stage and intensive communication with the team from Sony Pictures. In his interview with Metro TV on October 8, 2024, Sony expressed how exciting it was to collaborate with them on this major project.

In this project, Sony used the creative idea from the trailer of Venom: The Last Dance as the main reference for his illustration. Sony Pictures only provided the trailer as a reference, so the challenge for Sony was to select the most iconic elements from the video to be made into a two-dimensional visual poster. He worked hard to capture important moments such as the figure of the venom horse, the monster, and the strong background of the film.

Sony also explained that the film Venom: The Last Dance is set in Las Vegas, America, and that is what he needed to emphasize in the illustration he created. By highlighting the atmosphere of Las Vegas in his work, Sony wanted to ensure that people who viewed his illustration could immediately feel and understand the setting of the film.

According to Sony, the key to his success is consistency in creating. He always emphasizes how important it is to keep creating and honing one's skills. Thanks to his perseverance and dedication, his work is now recognized not only in Indonesia but also internationally, making Indonesia proud in the global illustration scene.
