Dogma

Dogma by Skyla

Dogma

My latest Photoshop piece created for my brother’s 18th birthday.

Dogma is from a Yu-Gi-Oh card and is not my own character
I used a crappy scanned card for reference so not all the details are exactly the same (as pointed out by my bro). I created the character in a whole new pose.

This was an experiment with lighting and form without resorting to an outline.
I was pretty happy with the outcome. I hope you like it too!
Any criticism and ideas for improvement will be well appreciated.

    man, and you used a crappy scanned card to get that? There is not a chance in a million years that I will ever be able to draw such kind of things. The pose looks seriously epic!

    Have I mentioned I hate you lately? j/k Man this is good! I think you’ve done a real awesome job on the lighting here and the sword’s glare. Is that a glow effect around it?

  • Skyla

    Skyla, 11 months ago

    Yup, it’s a glowy effect. I just duplicated the shine layer and then gaussian blurred the crap out of it. Thnx heaps for the comment!
