This image is for the game box cover Fight Night for Sony PlayStation 3. It's one of twelve for the complete EA Sports '08 lineup.
Oscar wasn't prepared for the shoot as he would have been for a fight (normally he would shave his chest). The art director kept telling the stylist to make him sweatier! Rough up his hair! Make him look like he's gone ten rounds! So the stylist made him slightly wetter and slightly tossed his hair.
Next it was my job to add a mouthpiece, remove logos, add tape to the gloves, and remove all his chest hair. Then I enhanced his muscles and sweat, and matted down his hair. Oh yeah, and I made him look even more like he wants to kick your butt.
