First, THE PICTURE.
Second. HELLO PIXELATION!
I am back, again, and hopefully for more than *checks* two posts this time. I'm sure nobody remembers me, but that's okay.
Anyhow, plx C&C. I may add AAing at a later date. Actual AA (but still hand placed) depending on wether the project this is for can actually do such alphablending, and wether I think it's too much of a chore or not!
Though I must warn in advance, crits about the solid color outline and/or lack of selout won't be met with a lot of enthusiasm. This is the first of a series of stuff I'm going to be making for an actual game and I'd like to shave off the extra hours per frame. Plus I think this toonish style is kinda spiffy in it's own way. Will not be changing these, I am stubborn. Yes.
I'm still undecided wether to keep his suit the color it is, or wether his hair. I think the colors are a bit too samey as it stands. Maybe I'll make him a fiesty redhead.
Took about an hour and 15 minutes.
MO: Sketched up the basic outline in photoshop on tablet (about 5 minutes), traced over with dark clean lines (about 5-10 minutes), imported into Paint Shop Pro (5, ancient, but it gets the job done), resized using bilinear filtering. Traced outline with black (also 5 minute-ish), then filling in color from the head downwards. (bulk of the time spent was on the damn collar)
