Syd character design

I wanted to design another character you could see in a fighting game with a whole turn around sheet and junk but after finishing the main drawing I kinda wanna work on other projects so I might come back to this one later.

I experimented with a couple tools I'm not used to using at all for this one, vector lines and gradient maps. I'm getting into using vector lines because inking (at least for me) is pretty tedious and vector lines just make the process a lot more convenient. I have a lot of trouble with colour palettes so using gradient maps, much like vector lines, makes it easier to end up with something that looks good.

The 4k version as well as the PSD file of this illustration are available on my Gumroad! wink
