Description
Once upon a time, the wonderfully talented decided to create a Link/Cloud hybrid, thus dubbing him Clink.And now, after 5+ hours of fiddling in Photoshop and Painter Classic, I present ye with Clink in all his colorfulness. The original lineart can be found here --> [link]
**Note: The background consists of two pictures I took with my digital camera. I then merged and blurred them in Photoshop.

Very nicely colored! Also a cool idea. When I saw it in your gallery, I thougt it was Cloud, then when I saw the image, I was thinking it looked like Cloud with Link's tunic. So...I'm sayin' that it was cleary Clink even before I read his name. : )

Very good. Hybrid characters usually don't turn out this well. Nice color and design, and of course, the highly original name.

Is the background painted, or is it a photo?
This is just fantastic, except that I see you're suffering from the Dreaded Halo Effect!

Aye, that's the problem with photoshop.. when you convert stuff to .jpgs, the colors don't blend as prettily.
Heh, heh.. I love making up new words. x__x

There's a way to add color in lines and not have that halo effect! Want me to tell you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In Photoshop, you do use different layers to color, right? The halo effect usually occurs when you color on the same layer as the lines.
To avoid it, the color has to be on a layer below the lines. When completing the line drawing, go to Edit, and click on Contrast/Difference. A window will appear with two bars and a scroller. Push both scrollers to the right, and your lines will be completely black and white with no grays.
Duplicate that layer, so you have two of the same linedrawings on top of one another. Use the bottom layer for the color.
Then, to get rid of the white on the top layer, double-click the layer itself in the Layer window, and push the scroller to the left, just enough that you don't see the white anymore. This will mask out any halo effect that occurs when filling in the spaces on the bottom layer.
When you are done coloring, merge them. There should be no halo effect! Hope this helps!
