Drawesome - week 2 - Villainous

[amberdreams]

Last week I did Dean, so this week it's Sam's turn. The prompt was a word - villainous. So I had to try Samifer, and then I had to gif it. I'm still not very slick at this animation business but it's fun.

Gif!

Here's the final frame as a still picture

And here's some of the process:
I did it all in Photoshop, in spite of having lots of new lovely paper and pretty pens to try out. *sigh*
I used a cardboard texture as my virtual paper, and used a fuzzy brush for some shading, layered it, multiplied it, added a dash of colour burn and a few lines on top.



Then I futzed with this background from a Season 4 BTS shot of Sam because I liked the colours and the red sign. I used Sam's face in this pic as a rough reference for my Samifer's face too, though obviously the expression is different.

And that's about it. I layed up a bit more to add the red eyes and a bit of highlighting, then saved 4 different versions of the final pic to create the gif.

I love it - he looks very sinister there!!
It's really interesting to see the process as well :)

I can only post a little bit of the process, it would be too boring to see all the layers and steps :D
