DC3: Zodiac Rat

An update! Woohoo!!!

I think I started on this about two to three hours ago. Now it’s about 3 AM, and this is supposed to be finished in time for the lecture/lab tomorrow.

The assignment was: Draw a coloured 2D image representing your European star sign or Chinese year sign.”

So I’m both a rat and libra, and wanted to combine them, but meh! Too much work. Got to sleep as well!

I wanted to put the libra sign on the shield, but that’s very time consuming (at least to get it right).

I started out with a line drawing, then shaded it. Made cleaner lines around it, made the shading resemble fur and tried to blend the lines in with the shading. Added colour with a layer set to overlay mode. Tweaked levels. Added texture and more colour via more layers, some set to overlay, some to multiply. Added a spear tip to the staff. Desaturated the overall colour a bit. Flipped the picture horisontally.

And here’s the result:
