The fourth season of Mayans centers around the two brothers viewers know and love, EZ and Angel, pitted against each other in an epic battle for their dad’s attention. The characters are forced to deal with a family curse that is a direct result of the generational suffering brought on by their father. All of the war in this season is framed in the four elements- fire, water, wind, and earth. There is a storm coming, the winds of change are blowing in, and it is the Sons of Anarchy bringing war to the Mayans.
The client wanted the art to be photographic, raw, and real and to feature either EZ or Angel. They asked us to use a melancholic color pallet that embodied the season’s dark, action-packed violence and intensity. Lastly, they wanted to see how macro we could get while still expressing violence.
