The Last of Us franchise may boast strong gameplay and gorgeous visuals, but it is praised the most for its intricate storytelling and complex characters. One fan of the series has translated the best moments from The Last of Us and its sequel into a series of art pieces, a process that must have taken a massive amount of time and focus. PLEASE NOTE THIS ARTICLE WILL HAVE MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US AND THE LAST OF US 2.
The Last of Us art collection was shared by @IconicNephilim on Twitter, with the artist’s real name being David. The latest in a long line of creative work from Last of Us fans, David’s project is arguably the most complex. Described by the artist as being “one of the most challenging things” they have ever made, it is easy to understand why. In total, the project is comprised of 24 pieces, with 13 for the original game and 11 for its follow-up.
The art for the first game begins with pieces centered on the death of Sarah, Joel’s daughter, and Ellie’s relationship with Riley from Left Behind. Joel and Ellie’s first meeting, Tess’s death, and the pair’s encounter with Bill all come next. Another poster highlights the tragic meeting between Henry and Sam, with the “stop feeding on lies” writing shown in the corner adding to the piece. Joel and Ellie’s journey to the school comes after, showing off Joel’s injury and building up to the game’s unforgettable finale.
Winter is shown, with Ellie and David’s confrontation depicted. Arguably The Last of Us’ most iconic scene comes next, as Ellie and the giraffe are shown. The next poster depicts Joel’s decision in the hospital, with Joel’s final promise rounding out the excellent collection of posters. While @IconicNephilim could have stopped there, the artist covered the second game with a series of posters that are arguably more impressive than the original batch. Beginning with Joel’s brilliant performance for Ellie and the game’s controversial death scene, the collection gets off to a strong start.
Ellie’s hunt through Seattle is shown next, with Dina included every step of the way. The final poster of the section puts extra focus on the theater battle with Abby and Ellie, while the next section shows Abby’s journey with Lev. The final three posters include Ellie’s choice to leave Dina, the final encounter with Abby on the beach, and the devastating finale where Ellie recalls her last conversation with Joel. Unsurprisingly, the artist’s work was met with plenty of praise in the comments, something that is truly well-deserved.
As of now, it remains to be seen if there will ever be a third Last of Us game that grows this collection further. Currently, though, it is a terrific depiction of the entire series.
The Last of Us is available now for PS3 and PS4.
