Description
El-Sato drew up a fun image of my personal character for the game I work on, Spiral knights. I really enjoyed what he created, so I thought I'd pay the favor forward and draw up some one else's character.The above results is MamaMisho's design done up in El-Sato's style. (Or at least, as close as I was able to get to his style.) I like to examine people's works and see how close I can get to recreating it, hopefully learning a few things along the way. Hopefully my attempt isn't an insult to his works.
I rather dislike inking, so there was a certain challenge in doing that. I don't feel like I nailed the lighting style at all though.

Just seeing Cobalt online in Spiral Knights might make me think of this pic. . .
Oh and please draw my knight? Name: Zack-Silvia.
My account was created upon installing the game to Steam.

You actually rather suit inking, as much as you might dislike it - and the metallic reflection from the glow of the halo is brilliantly striking..!

The art style of that game is like half of what makes me come back to it over and over again.

Hey, Cobalt contributes to this Spiral Knights blog that I run and this is epic~ And as long as I'm fanboying, Mac Hall and 3PS were/are amazing :3

Wonderful! Even with inks Although I don't understand why you hate inking so much, I love it.

Cob is probably gonna flip when she sees this. Great work, you captured ElSato's style pretty well, too.

It's funny that you say you hate inking since I always had a folder full of MacHall pages to reference off and use as my goal when I was learning to ink back in the day

Malakym In reply to Cellsai [2012-12-16 21:36:35 +0000 UTC]
My hands are incredibly far from steady, so inking has always been a source of frustration for me. That's why Mac Hall eventually 'evolved' to the point where inking wasn't part of the process. I'll also point out that I didn't own a Wacom or anyother tablet until I started working at Three Rings. So the entirety of Mac Hall is done with a mouse. (Re: Lots and lots of poly-lasso tool)
