Bokuman - Shinkei Waterbending
Added 2020-03-30 02:30:07 +0000 UTC This is the colored version of the New Commission that Bokuman did for me.
For this one, I asked him to have my character Shinkei do some waterbending (Water Tai Chi) similar to Katara in “Avatar the Last Airbender”. I admit that I did base Shinkei off of Avatar but I made several changes here and there. Such as Shinkei comes from a dojo where elemental martial arts is taught and in order to gain the title of master he has to go on a journey to learn the hidden elements for himself.
For this peice it was rather difficult because of the way the water is and I wanted to try to make it look like water. So after coloring Shinkei and getting to it I decided to try to use a few tricks I know - mainly dealing with layer type in photoshop (types like Screen, Multiply, etc). Unfortunately those didn’t work so I tried to tune the opacity level of the layer. Getting it down to about 85% and it gives the water a slightly transparent look.
Again, it is a shame that Clash of the Titans forum RPG is no more because of how good this character is.
