Wohoo I finished this project I had lying around for some weeks now and I felt I needed som attention so I'll show it to you.

Software: Adobe Photoshop CS2v9
Technique: Pen tool, 95% vector graphics
Time: On and off for 4 weeks, 3~ days spent working
Layers: Uhh close to 200 shape layers >_<
Reference: Modelviewer screenshot
Original size: 2788x4000px

The totally cool japanese kanji and kana (letters) read out "Merri no kyûdô" which somewhat means "Melly's path of the bow". You've probably heard of Kendô (that fencing sport with bamboo swords) which is the path of the sword, while Kyûdô is the path of the bow.

Anyway I thought it turned out pretty cool, let me know what you think.

yea indeed nice, but I think it would look cooler with some colors on it!

only thing u need to perfection is to make it much shorter, wearing t6 war instead of hunter, and an illidan shield. and a bigger stumech. and change sex of course.

and if u want to hire someone to paint it I can do it for 60g all hand made in paint.

It's looking really nice :shock:

Kinda stunned how you managed to make the character "live" with using so few colours. Gg!

Originally I intended it to be in a somewhat 'tattooish' style.. but I kinda drifted from that.. I'll prolly do some full color stuff later <.<

I guess I'll also whipe the dust off that Photoshop icon on desktop. Althoe graphic design is what I do for living. Well I'll give it a shot to make this forums more "colorfull"

Really nice one Melly.
