Description Fully shaded sketch commission of =Astrozerk04 's character, Truu! I love drawing raptor type characters, so this was fun.

I don't know what it is that he's leaping for, but it seems important. Or he's trying to escape that crack in the earth. I'll leave it up to you guys to formulate the story! xD
I need to work on drawing clothes more. Sob.
Go, go lazy rocks!

Tools Used (from start to finish):
Photoshop CS, Wacom Intuos 3
Time - Unrecorded

Thank you for being courteous to ask! Not many people do that nowadays. I must ask what the video will be about before I give a yes/no answer, as well as I'd require to be linked to the video to see it for myself. :>

Bandarai [2011-01-04 00:16:39 +0000 UTC]

Love that angle-pose-perspective thing you've got down in this! The depth of the background is so fantastic. The character really does look like he's trying to leap out of the picture!

I still can't get over how you shade. It's so detailed and delicate! I never know how to cel-shade clothes (I can never figure out where the folds go ) but here I can clearly imagine the picture in 3D, even if the shading/colouring is only in a 2D format. Awesome work!

Skysealer In reply to Bandarai [2011-01-04 00:23:50 +0000 UTC]

Whoa thank you very much! That means a lot that you can picture it in 3D versus 2D since it's such a flat shading in comparison to non-cel. Thanks again

The cell shadings really good. How do you go about picking you shadow hues?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Skysealer In reply to RIPZyden070121 [2011-01-03 23:33:31 +0000 UTC]

I use either a gradient or solid hue that would accent the figure with the background, set the layer to a layer style such as multiply (or something of that nature), and lower the opacity that satisfies me. Then I go to town on it.

RIPZyden070121 In reply to Skysealer [2011-01-04 19:56:21 +0000 UTC]

Good old multiply. Very well used- even the shading gives it pop.

Oh man, that's nifty! I love the haziness of the background.. it really pushes the atmospheric perspective and dustyness of the environment... and of course I love Truu's dynamic pose~

I hardly -ever- draw clothes aside from armor and cloth accent pieces. So normal day to day clothing is something I need to work on. But I'm glad everyone thinks I did a good job on it!
And thanks!

Jezz, Skysky! Look at you pump these things out! Jeeeez at this rate you'll be done in no time! <3 This one's AWESOME too! That pose is SO lovely and dynamic! That angle of the legs looks like it was SO hard to pull off. For some reason the pose reminds me of someone playing soccer. And YES for the character popping out of the background. I've really come to like things like that! PlusIreallylikethecelshadedrocksLOLHOWDOYOUMAKEROCKSCRYYYY. And the cel-shading looks good on the clothing! It reminds me of a comic book or... something. Blah. Good job! <3

These sorts of comments make me want to dive back into Photoshop and draw MAOR. XD
Oh goodness, this pose was so easy to do it isn't funny. I guess I was just in the groove or something, it took like... less than 20 minutes to get it down and then refine it. >_> It was pretty crazy. Then I told myself I was crazy after staring at what I'd done.
I like that angled leg though too, it's neat.
ROCKS. Perhaps I should have taken more time on the rocks, they're horrible loose. BUT. It's a sketch, so perhaps it's more fitting. I don't know, it felt 'done'. XD But I'll be playing more with developing rocks along this route. It's terribly easy this way. >_>
