Sync is a character I created for my Digital Media Design assignment (it was for a DVD cover, and I decided to make mine for a game so Sync is the main character). He's heavily based on Cub Solloby, who I drew some time last year if I recall correctly.
Because Sync is for print media, he is CYMK and was 300dpi but I optimised him for the web so he is much smaller and lower quality here.
I've changed shading style once again, using brighter backlights because I've always liked them. I had another go at gradient shading for the highlights and am much happier this time.
I like the blues, and how the shading turned out. ^^ Very nice!

Thank you! I had a bit of a hard time working with the CMYK colours because I'm so used to RGB and at first found them restricting because the CMYK colour gamut is smaller, but I think it worked out ok. Plus he's not overly saturated, which is a good thing.
I like the gradiant coloring. It's pretty. :3 He's really cute. I bet he'd be adorable in a video game! :3
Ohh... CMYK is so easy to forget. XD; It's amazing the bit of difference it makes though. I've gotta keep that in mind if/when I make things for print. @_@
Thanks! I'd love to actually make a videogame featuring him, but I don't think I have the skills or time to make anything decent, lol.
Even though I used CMYK it still didn't print like on the screen, but that was to be expected I suppose. I think it came out pretty neat anyways. And in the printer options for my colour printer at home, most of the colour options (there were many so I left it on the default) had RGB somewhere in its name, no CMYK stuff. I just let the printer sort it out XD
Remember 300 or 600dpi! I'm so used to working in 72dpi because just about all my art is for the internet. But I should get into the habit of making it 300dpi because I can always reduce the dpi, but not enlarge it. At least not well.
Yeah, I know. I made the mistake once of trying to make something for print and then editing it in Adobe ImageReady... which is specifically for internet files, so it ate my dpi. D: Not fair.
Aw! Well I tried to print my assignment on my parents' computer which doesn't have Photoshop, so I tried to save it in another format and picked PNG, which yes ate my dpi. But then I realised I had Illustrator on their computer so printed it through that
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
