Cell Shading

[LaughingTurtle]

Here are some cell shaded pictures I've created using Photoshop. For those who don't know, cell shading in technical circles refers to the thick black line drawn around characters/objects in pictures to make them look like a cartoon drawing. It's widely used in both video games and in Japanese anime to make 3D graphics look 2D.


Yes I know it's not really "fantasy art" but it technically could be considered it as...uhhhh I don't really have a turtle - so yeah it's fantasy. Meh, we need more art stuff in this forum anyway so I thought I'd contribute my meager artistic skills.

This first one is naturally of me; the only objects I didn't create in this were the VT and Trigun Posters, everything else I drew. I've resized it down from 1280x1024 for viewing ease...

I'm currently almost finished with a 2nd one I'm drawing for my bro which I'll post up as soon as it's finished

argh I kinda hate putting this up in 800x600...it's regular dimensions is 1632x1232 so it loses a lot of detail and having to save it as a jpg loses quality. Oh well....first time doing a vehicle, and I'm proud of it. If anyone likes it and wants the full sized version let me know.

NOTE: the only part of the image I did not draw myself was the car lights or tires because they were giving me such a hard time to draw real like.
