PikminLinkby *Serain

Digital Art / Drawings / People

The full, completed CG. I ended up slowing down because of school and stuff.

For those of you who still have no idea what this is, this is my completed photorealistic CG of a picture of ~pikminlink. The drawing is off a photo here: [link] .

As you can see, I made very few changes. I tried to make it as exact as possible. The background, for obvious purposes, was removed. I simplified a lot of things, as well. The coloring on the belts and gloves and the chainmail where I kind of went, "Screw this" are all simplified. I'll upload a bunch of closeups as well as commentary later.

The hardest part was probably the hair. I usually do all my coloring for one surface on one layer. For the hair, I needed 3 layers. I believe I have 17 layers in all, not including the background or photograph. The hair is probably one of the least exact parts. And, I would have never know how to do it if it wasn't for this LEETZORZ HAXZORZ hair tutorial at Furae.com: [link] . Just click "Tutorials" > "Painting Hair". I also used the blending tutorial (When I said "The smudge tool is your best friend", I didn't mean to indiscriminately smudge).

Original Progress Screencaps (only the tunic) are here: [link]

For those of you who really, really think it looks like a photo: Lower left hand corner XD. And lower right, as well.
