Description
Featuring AlphaLeo's mecha and the Lion (Or as Sandra puts it, the MeowserVisit him here =
FINALLY, after almost 3 weeks of on and off on drawing, colouring, managing time between part time work, life and audio hobby, its done x_X
To date, this is probably the most difficult picture I've ever worked on simply because of that... that... mecha thingy! This is my first serious attempt putting together what I know in colouring any full-fledged mecha ever x_X
(The Strike Gundam I previously did didn't count... and Rockman isn't a full mecha type, so he doesn't count too O_O)
Believe me, Zephy ish not good at them mecha thingies *dies* x_X
Also first time drawing a BG to match the pic, but the different BG stuffs were drawn on separate pieces of maper, so the perspective (as I noticed) is off in a lot of places (most notably the mecha itself, unfortunately). This is my first try in CGing any sort of environment as well... It'll do for the time being I hope, need more practice X_X
Inking and final compositing is done in Adobe Photoshop CS 2.0, colouring completely done in Painter 9.0 using the Acrylics brush.
The whole pic was also an experiment to CG metallic surfaces using painting techniques and also a trial to colour things in a more mature tone (aka not so saturated, or de-saturated colours as some call it).
Done for AlphaLeo (obviously) as a belated birthday pic (Sorry Ray x_X), and also a way of saying thanks to him for being an inspiration as a peer, an artist and an animator.
Now before I reek of cheese...
*runs off as fast as he can*
I'M FREE! FREE I TELL YOU! MWAHAHAHAHA!

I'd prefer the tutors I had for PS in the past to be present too. I don't understand some of the things mentioned in their lessons. Why must we live so far apart!?

I don't exactly rely heavily on Photoshop for painting though. Mainly for compositing and inking if not anything else
For colouring, I use Painter

Wow, that is impressive, Zephyron. That mech is very intricately detailed. I like the suit of armour, too. Kinda reminds me of Mega Man X.
If I could nitpick one thing, it would be the preview image. Though this picture is very large, making it all the more impessive, it's too large for the average screen resolution, so I can't get a view of the entire thing at once.
Three weeks of work shows you're a really dedicated artist. Well done.

Oh, also, forgot to mention >_<
This is 1/4 the area size of the original pic worked on. A lot of the more intricate detals done in the pic has hence been lost due to size reduction ;_;
