Very goof Samurai. The technique you have used is Cell Shading, and I have to say that it has worked out a treat. I would be interested to see how it works with other images.

What was your method of creating it? I presume the pen tool, but a bit of a detailed description would be good, if you wouldnt mind.

im a bit of a noob to the pen tool, i just used a line tool.

Basically u get your base picture and create 2 new layers...
Fill the 1st layer above the base white with opacity about 30-40%
The next layer is where your the line/pen tool comes into work. Basically just follow the outlines of the object and any highlights/shadows. Once you have the done the whole picture u can start filling the colours.
I just used the eyedropper on the original to get a colour for each 'cell' that i created and filled them.

It's really time consuming and i guess its why i havent finished my 2nd one yet.

the one thing i dislike is adding that 3d effect to the lettering
it reminds me of back when i was hanging aroung the poserpros anbdf they were always making these 3d graphic comics

Here's the latest I've done - looks better than my first.

I used the 40% opaque white layer the whole time - I dont know what it does exactly still - looks like it unifies the colors more so there arnt extremes.

It's because I used the pencil to do it. I found the pen/line tool last night by accident. So now I'll start trying those Big Grin

EDIT:

Today afterschool I was doing some more work with this technique, trying out the pen and line tool. The pen didn't make sense, so I went for the line tool. It worked well, but each individual line became a new layer, thus requiring me to flatten the image in order to fill the cells. However, it seems this is not the right thing to do, because when I started to fill in the cells the color would spread to other cells, leaving it looking ragged.

What method did you use? How'd you do it? Etc. Etc.

Thanks

I'm still dazzled by yours Big Grin
