Chapter#46

Hello Human Butter Jelly Time!~

It's been...More than a month since I was last here...The shame...The pitiful shame...
Well I'm here to redeem my sins whatever that means, its 2 in the morning, forgive my
spelling errors and such and just look and glare into the recent works of my fist~

So, still inspired by the Evangelion Series, I decided to create another mecha
creature but in a different approach to better my technique and speed in completing
works~ Cause well...I'm just show shlow :( ... Moving along~

I first started by brainstorming different poses for my mecha creature~ I wanted it to be
scary, very beastly like and so aimed for the snarling, crouching pose, while making the
creature stare down at the viewer so its like, 'aww shiee-- it's looking at me'~ kinda thing.

So I first made the silhouette like always not shown here. (Somehow...lost it.) 

Then I made an outline of the pose.

After that, I accidentally (being such a bad example here) went straight into too much
detail here I think and drew out pretty much of the design I had in mind~
-Probably because I had the design in mind already that it came out so fast...-

When you're done with the initial drawing, create a layer mask around the object and
only the object so that whatever you do outside the lines, automatically becomes invisible.
Then after that, I added one more layer and outlined it once more so the lines become
much more thinner & defined than before~ Gives it much more better quality than before.
Add two layers afterwards and use one for the general shading and the other for hard
shadows; areas that light does and cannot reach.

 After that, add a layer and give it a coat of color~ Smexifuls, aye?

 A new technique I tried here was a gradient shade~ Because the above pic looked
really plain to me (So...Flat with solid colors) I decided to give it more dimension, and
with each limb I gave a gradient of grey~ You might not see it here very well, but...
When you do it yourself you'll really see the difference! (Strange example...)
After that, give it a color overlay on a new layer to bright and give life to the image, and
use a linear dodge layer to give it rim light to push out the character out of the canvas.

Add final effects~
Light trace of glowing eyes,
saliva, and gave it white shining
spheres around sharp areas to
push the image out once more.









Andd done!!!
