Looks alright.

Good enough for me. LOL. ^\/^.

The sword look extremely glossy. ^_^
How did you make it that way? X3

I made a layer for each part of the blade and filled it completely, without transparency, with a pre-made gradient. One is from top to down and the other is from left to right. Together it gives that pointed, angular look. Then I added a quick plastic filter to both.

For the handle, I did the same thing, only with a different gradient and at different angles. The star shaped one is in burst angle and the other, last part is like the blade, only with a flipping of the gradient.

Cool, aye. ^\/^.

Hmm, what you just said, doesn't sound very easy to do. (For someone like me) of course. Can't draw for crap. ^_^
But it is very cool, how you did it. lol X3

I have an art program and, with a lack of a pen and tablet, use a mouse. So I have to select each piece using the wand, lasso and shape selector thing and then cut and paste. It is actually longer to make the layers then to color them for me. ^\/^.

Well, I have to say that's really impressive. The picture came out really well even though you don't have a pen or tablet. ^_^
How long did it take you to complete this?

It took about 5 to 6 hours to select and make every layer and about 30 minutes to color it. That program eats up a lot of memory to remember every selection made or every move made when making a selection. ^\/^.

5 or 6 hours, isn't that bad. I thought it took you longer because you were using a mouse. The more I look at, the more I fall in love with the picture. I swear that sword put a spell on me. ^_^

Thanks for the comments.

When it comes to coloring my pictures, I have a love for filling the whole thing with color and / or gradients for quick coloring.

Before that, I make 2 copies of the same layer. One is to color and give an even or gradual transparency and the other is to combine with to keep the lines in place.

The blue part of the coat, for example, is comprised of 2 of the same layers. One was filled with blue and given a gradual transparency to make it seem lighter on one side than the other and then it was flattened with the original so one can see the lines still.

I did not even use a brush once in this one. This is all solid fills and gradients with transparencies involved.

Your welcome. X3
The whole coloring process sounds very interesting. But in the end, the picture comes out very well done. I might have to see the coloring process first hand now. ^_^

Maybe I should just make a tutorial, aye.

That would be awesome if you did. ^_^
I would definitely watch.

I will now find the time for that one, aye. ^\/^.

Yes *does victory dance* This should be interesting. ^_^

X>.

Shit, this looks good. O.O

Thank you very much. ^\/^.

wow... nice work. I'm more of a "Blade Master," I carry two swords. You shouldn't do it if you aren't talented and practiced with both hands, but if you can, it can give you a definite advantage.

As cool as it is I am comfortable with only one blade. That way, if my opponent is near me in close combat, I get to slug him with a 'Lady Tsunade' style left punch or jab. LOL. ^\/^.

lol nice. If you've ever played RE 4, Leon says the same thing about guns and knives:

"Bring a knife next time, works better for close encounters."

Hmm, good advice. Though I may not have a knife, I do have a rapier like sword / light-saber. And it's customized. (RE1 movie quote) LOL.

lol Me, I prefer to carry either one long range and one melee weapon, or two melee weapons, normally swords and/or gun. I don't like not having two weapons with me. Makes me feel vulnerable.

Though I do not like carrying ranged weapons, if someone tried to pick me off from a distance I can just use my superior swords skills, speed and reflexes to reflect the projectile right back at them like a Jedi does. LOL.

or, like Vergil From Devil May Cry

Or even Kronen from the movie Hell Boy 1. LOL. ^\/^.

I can't say I've ever seen that movie. I've been told by several people it's pretty good, though.

There is a scene where Kronen is in a museum and the guards tried to shoot him and he just repelled it back to them. LOL. ^\/^.

nice

Ya, really. Other than in Star Wars and animes, I never thought something like that would even be possible in real life but, with practice, one can actually do it. ^\/^.

It does, I'm sure.

X>.

you do awesome! glad i watched you

Thank you very much Master Cheat. ^\/^.

I like the last one. Though when I was referring to a meme I was more referring to something like these http://www.furaffinity.net/journals/duphasdan/ ^\/^.

I especially love the sword on the last one. Very nice design on her. ^^.

aww i took them all down... T^T sorry..... but thanks

It's alright. ^\/^.

lol. of course you did better. >=)
what did you use? Photoshop? i dont have anything like that, only oC. and that in itself isnt too great for coloring, only basic jobs, ya know?

I may have Photoshop Elements but, with a lack of a pen and tablet and unused to it being a new program, I still use my old Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9 software. What is OC? ^\/^.

openCanvas, kinda like an upgrade to MSPaint

Ah, yes. I see. It has been a while since I heard that program. The initials threw me off. LOL. ^\/^.

ah

*giggles* ^\/^.

Great work Dude!

Thank you very much. I most certainly tried. ^\/^.
