My first Impact/Explosion graphic - I drew it too small T.T so I had to transform it larger to fill the section and then Sharpen it with a filter, leaving an effect on the lineart that I'm not sure if I love or hate. Either way, too much to undo and redraw now!
I just hope he's okay. I mean, if he gets destroyed so soon we'll have no main character to go on with!
I was so relieved at finishing the impact that I never added highlights or the stars to the background, not to mention the SFX text! Done now, and hoping its okay.
As for how he lands...the sword probably was going for a superhero landing, but given our hero's reaction, I'm predicting head-first.
Or, if you can't get away with that camera angle, at the very least, an impact crater which leaves a body impression.
Tropes for days! What a handy website to have around... thanks :P
mmm I'm in two minds for the landing. Still haven't decided how it'll pan out - prepare for a surprise, though, for sure!
