I can't draw; seriously. I can't even make a successful stick figure, it comes out looking like a well-drawn xkcd comic every time, even with a ruler. But I consider myself an artistic person, I enjoy photography, graphic design, and print work.
So as a less fortunate male might make up for certain lacks with a big bright shiny sports car, I have decided to make up for my lack of drawing ability with an attempt at creating an original piece of work. Well, slightly original.
First off I'd like to thank the amazing artist Kalel06 from Halobabies.net for the original line work. Which you can see here: Deviant Art Profile.
Now with the urge to make art, I tried to implement my graphic design skills in a unique and probably completely idiotic way in Photoshop to create this piece:
Master Chief "Vector"
It was done with mouse, unfortunately no Wacom tablet here. The selection tool and gradients can do more than I thought! Now if you're one of those type of people that must know how everything is done, you can review my horrible arrangement of layers and disgusting choice of a way to work in this PSD file: .PSD - 12.1MB.
Enjoy, humans.
