Description I didn't expect it to turn out this way. I started it out with just a pencil sketch, then I decided to color it with pencil crayon. Then I goofed up the inking so I swore a couple times before I attacked it with white out. Then I tried to fix it up in photoshop. Then I thought it would be cool to add some lighting to it. Then I thought it needed a background. And before I knew it, this was the result. And it looks much better than the pencil crayon version. Comments and criticism welcomed. Enjoy!

My only question is:

....Would Link be able to mantain that position estimating the fact of how heavy swords are?

iduck In reply to Blue-Fang-Lupe [2006-03-03 21:57:00 +0000 UTC]

Probably not

But then again, how does he manage to lift rocks 10x the size he is by only an upgrade in gloves?

Uh huh..good stuff. The APS extra effects do help. But DUDE(tte), Link is left-handed!! His left hand looks weird though. That's just f/shortening being a bitch though, I guess.

spookysoft [2003-04-01 17:06:34 +0000 UTC]

if i might spoil some of the magic here.

it looks like in photoshop he just did some blurred layers and set them for color dodge as the glow effects. not hard at all honestly, and he did it very well. i should make a tut on photomanip someday... but yeah, my recomendation for any piece when using photoshop to enhance, to keep things all lookin the same (instead of grain in contrast to clean lines, etc) to just recolor it all and don't merge layers until you have to.

If you have the original image you scanned, i'd like to see it and toy with it some.
