I’m going for my sword… you’d better take cover… not that it will help…

This is the finished version of this sketch. It’s pretty good for my first full-sized CG, considering I didn’t know how to CG shiny eyes, or shiny hair (I only found that out a few months ago, didn’t I?) or how to use the blur tool. So, the highlights are painfully blatent, on the skin, but the hand looks rather good. The hair I did by drawing streaks on the brown and using the smudge tool to rub them in. I have Adobe 5.0, I think. Because I only knew about the smudge tool and not the blur tool, there are some white spots where it didn’t overlap properly, like on the back of the jaw. Then I don’t know how to draw ears still, and the tiny detail work on the swordhilt isn’t nearly as complicated as I’d like, and the clothing looks a little flat. But, all in all, it’s my first try, and it’s okay for that. I just want to say the shirt design has changed since then, and now the little stitchings are on the inside shirt which makes more sense to me.
