My mash-up project is finally complete! I wanted to do something for the New Year to poke fun at myself with, and have a little fun too. I was told I kinda resemble two characters from different series. The first was King of the Seven Deadly Sins; after reading a chunk of the series, I see it completely :P He's really confident and serious when in his element, but kinda breaks down and is a little panicky when thrust in a foreign environment. I always read/prepare before trying something new, but if my life was driven by a plot that didn't allow me to do that, I'd probably act the same way. He also tries REALLY hard to impress/win over the girl he likes, and his personality kinda changes as a result when around her. I've been known to do the same thing, especially in my younger days :P
The second character is Alibaba from Magi, due to (somewhat) his looks, but also his values and moral code. He tries to help people in need, can't stand it when someone is being treated unfairly or in danger, and goes out of his way to try and fix those kinda of situations, so I really agree with most of his thinking. I don't believe I share his manipulative tendencies, greediness or ass-kissing to higher ups though :P
Overall happy with how this turned out. I tried using a layer dedicated to just darker tones, and heavily relied on the blending tool. Turned out kinda blurry and murkey, but with a bit of practice I could probably clean it up!
