Anna Character Concept Design


Way back in March we posted a character concept design; a lovely female called Tricia. Now we have another concept design from the series. We still can't give you any more details on this project, other than to say that this character's name is Anna and she's a bit of a bad ass. If we tell you anything more we'd have to kill you... ;)

"Broken Link" slideshow

For those of you who didn't see our Broken Link tutorial over at PSDfan (shame on you...), here is a nifty little slideshow for you so you can see how the image was taken from sketch to finished artwork. Enjoy!

"Broken Link" - A Photoshop tutorial based on the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask


If you head over to PSDFAN right now you'll be able to see our brand new Photoshop tutorial: "Broken Link" where we take you through the steps of how to make the image in this post based on the Nintendo game "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask".

You may already know that we're big fans of The Legend of Zelda series (I even made a Zelda themed birthday card for Sarah a while back) so when PSDFAN asked us to make a character based tutorial for them, the idea of redesigning Deku Link and pushing his mutated tree form even further jumped straight into my head.

Plus it's not just the tutorial files you can see there, you can also download some free custom brushes too!

Have fun,
David

"The Dogs"

Welcome to the slightly re-vamped blog; now with added blue! Next in line for an upgrade is the official Cool Surface website; we'll keep you informed of when that will be launching. There have also been murmurings of a Cool Surface shop appearing in the not too distant future, so you could soon be able to adorn your walls with prints of sexy ladies, flying rats and more sexy ladies (we like sexy ladies). Hooray!

If the excitement hasn't all been too much for you, take a peek at this latest image, imaginatively titled "The Dogs"...
