Description Arthas , blizzard character.
For the contest.

Teq:
mode board and pre sketching compositions
Sketch 25min
1 layer 45% black, as I go on with eraser, Linear light, Color burn for basic lightning effects and giving colors to shadow s
.

And also great changes in contrast in the end.
Its a basic order I use to get forward smooth and super fast.
The picture is done quick in photoshop. But then colour changing, signature position/colour, changes in eyes,layers takes hours of decision changing.

Cheers that would be nice, my email is in my information. I think I get the technique now though. This picture is very striking, and its a style I have tried to do in the past.

Sorry I don't know any one that wants to buy one.

Could you go into a bit more detail on this process? I am just not quite clear what it means.

first i have teh scanned image. I put on the old paper scan above the bagcroujnd (that i copy and make a multiply of it right above the old paper image. So it looks its made on the old paper.


Then i make a new layer . fill with with gradiant or anything.45% op/transparent Pure black color. then. helps the composition.
I go only with eraser. This is a good teq. cus it covers all surfaces. means nothing is left white and the eraser makes the shade/tint smooth and correct. Easy to make shadows/h lights and relationship between b/w will be better then if i used brush to make shadows rather the eraser to make .

a pure layer with white brush. on the h lighted places.
then color burn with orange/red and on the blue lights i use blue. gotta do it allot to learn how much white u need n how to blend the blue.

i could send u a tutorial and the original psd to your email if u want. best way to learn.

Really awesome!

Is this the final version or just a preview? Whatever's the case, it's looking good. ^_^

By the way, can I ask how you do the ice-effects you have? It would be nice to know, since I'm also doing a picture to the contest.
