A portion of a Forbes interview with Alex Ross...

F: What was your inspiration for this Watch_Dogs art?

AR: I was trying to interact the characters with the city of Chicago in an interesting way. There was early composition that the did internally at Ubisoft that they sent me. On this particular case as we were working together, I got a chance to spin that a number of different ways where it showed the multiple other options of putting the figure, Aiden Pearce, and the way he was interacting with the backdrop of Chicago behind him. That put us off in a new direction where I was working closely with them and how that would mature and develop.
