Louis from Left 4 Dead

If you haven’t had a chance to try this game, I highly suggest you do, I could write an essay on why this is such a good game, but that would be for another blog, however I tend to play as Louis, the idea of a kick ass IT Systems Analyst hits home with me…

So I got inspired to do this little piece, wanted to a less static/posey image than normal so I tried something out. The canvas kept getting smaller and smaller as I removed things I didn’t like, but the cropped version presented here is the good stuff.

I spent a decent amount of time on this, and I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. You might be able to tell I was playing a lot with effects, lighting, gradients etc. in photoshop. My inks were a little messy so I was trying to get a cleaner look. Any suggestions?

Enough on this one though, I’ll go start a new piece.

  1. I really like the effects / lighting on this one, especially on the face.

  2. Thank you kindly. I used an effects layer with a 20% opacity on top of the colours and put in a gradient for the barrel flash. I created different selections for each of the main areas (body, head, hand) with a slightly different effect on each.
