Outside Work #2: Wander

Yet another project from my Digital Media class, the assignment for this was very similar to the first one. We were to again draw a scene of some kind, scan it, and add color in PhotoShop. However, this time all the color had to be a high resolution texture, and at least two of the textures must be scanned personally instead of simply downloaded.

I decided to draw a picture of the main character from my favorite video game of all time. Wander from Shadow of the Colossus.

Again, after extensive editing and scanning in some moss and the foil inside of a Rice Krispie Treat wrapper, I managed to come up with this.

The grassy hill is made with the scan of the moss, his sword is the foil, and everything else was downloaded from the internet and colored with overlay effects. The sky was made by simply inverting the colors of a picture of bunched up red silk which turned out to be the perfect sky colors. Again, I'm really proud of this one. It's not a precise representation of the character, but it's definitely recognizable.
