Check Out Some Beautiful Art from the Cancelled THE LAST OF US Animated Project

The Last of Us is an incredibly popular game that is often heralded for its amazing story. Oddfellows was supposed to create a 20-minute animated short film to be released before the launch of The Last of Us 2 this May. Unfortunately, the project was scrapped, but thanks to the wonder of the internet, we can check out some of the artwork from the project.

In anticipation of The Last of Us II, we were asked to create a compelling short film depicting the main characters Joel and Ellie as they retell their dramatic story chronicled in the original game.

Our proposal was to reinterpret each of the chapters of the game with a unique visual treatment. Using singular narrative device would allow us to bridge the styles and travel seamlessly between the past and present. Ultimately Sony decided not to move forward with this project.

I’ve included some of my favorite pieces below, but you can find more information on Google Cache and previously published images on Imgur.
