Artist's Comments

Those of you who regularly check my scraps (which would be nobody) will recognise this. For everyone else, Surprise! Or something.

This would be Null flinging crystals which - believe it or not - in my Mootiverse (still going folks) are an extremely effective weapon, what with being razor sharp, tending to explode, and containing a noseful of poisonous Ether. He's a bad guy, so obviously this means he gets the most interesting means of offing people. And there are a few of them.

Tried going for the outlineless method again, an honest to god pose which I'm not exactly sure if I pulled off, effects out the ass, and a laughable attempt at perspective. Yes, thats what it is.

Extensive use of the Polylasso, which is rapidly becoming my best friend, lots and lots of filter effects which I hope don't look too dump and my obligatory text effects for these "profile" images of sorts.

Fun fact: Saving the .psd at the end of this almost melted my computer into a pool of molten slag. Fun fact 2: Saving the ULTRA HIRES version melted my computer into a pool of molten slag. People with far too much bandwidth than sense can view the 4.2MB monstrosity here: [link] Also this is a good way of seeing the numerous mistakes I'm bound to have glossed over in the smaller bandwidth friendly version.

I think the furry is rather cute for a villan. But, where are his legs? Or does not NEED them? o.o

Hey. Hey. It's a furry! Furry, furry, furry.

More seriously though it's good work; Null stands out a lot from the dark, purplish paint-thinner crystals.

Bratwurst were used in a quintuple homicide.

This is the internet. I can show you the pictures.
:iconjumbi:
Fancy effects! Those crystals are really cool, and the smoky background is just as awesome.
I think Null stands out too much- you might have shaded him darker or something so he doesn't look like a lighthouse in a storm. Just my opinion, though.

Sweet effects. :O So, tell me. How'd you render those fancy textures?
:iconfr0gster:
I should pay attention to my comments more :X

Legs aren't a requirement for these guys, considering they evolved past the need for legs, instead floating a few feet above the ground. Or something. I'm still working out the physics behind it :slow:

Thinking about it I probably should have shaded it darker considering Null is one of the main badguys in my plot and all, but brilliantly I only think of these things after I've finished and don't want to go back to it.

It'll be a miracle if I can actually remember properly how I did these effects D:

The background was pretty much just slapping down custom brushes (where from I can't remember) playing with scatter/size settings.

Again the muss of stuff inside those crystals was more random brushings, probably with multiply or something set, I dunno. Basically it entailed a lot of mouse thrashing :lol: Text effects churned out with blending options, namely outer/inner glow, colour overlay, and transparencies. And no random brushing, for a change :omg:
