Description What programs did you use?

I used photoshop cs6 from start to finish on this piece.

Where did you find your inspiration for your entry?

The good old "stick is a sword" game,is something that almost everyone played in their childhood. I wanted to capture that sense of how you could make a simple stick transform into an awesome sword or lightsaber with your mind, back when you were just a kid (or even if you still do it).

How long did it take to complete?

The idea and sketch was done in half an hour or so, I kinda lost track of how long I was lining and coloring this thing but I'd guess it was about 3 hours.

I will enter this contest, but part of my research is always looking at the entries.  I looked at all of them yesterday, along with my son who turning 12 this month.  We both agreed this was one of the best and stood out.  I know the contest still has many days left for entries, but yours grabbed my attention.  Not only for the skill, but for sticking (pun not intended, but funny no less) to the guidelines of how we interpreted them to be.

Or the sadness when it at last inevitably breaks and you must make do with another one.
