Title: Shadow Dragon Portrait Studio - History of Light and Shadow

Good morrow! Welcome to this humble little corner of the forums.

Kage Ryu has taken a liking to making these CSP images as of late. Custom poses, plus a little Photoshop for lighting emphasis. Let us see if that will become a thing. Updates may or may not be consistent and/or frequent.


Request Info:
You may make requests if you wish. Or not. However, should you do so, Kage Ryu may or may not take it immediately, depending on the request, but there is a method to the madness. Here's a rough gauge of how quickly Kage Ryu may get around to the request:

Next Update: A simple texture hack with little to no vertexing of a character that will be done next.
Soon: A simple texture hack with little to no vertexing of a character I have already done.
Later: A heavy vertexing or import of a character I have already done that still fits a previously done pose.
Eventually: A character I have not done or a vertex/import of that would require a new pose and new lighting.



NEWS
Kage Ryu currently presents:  :ganon:
The King of Evil has arrived, and makes no effort to hide his enormous power. Scarier still, this isn't the end of his reign!

The Man in Green has arrived, as prophesied!

Not sure who I'm doing next. Still experimenting with the style, so I'm like to be sticking with characters that don't have much in the way of alpha textures. If you have any critique/feedback, it would be welcome. (:

Other than that, Quality = (http://i.imgur.com/NZFSOVd.gif)

Thank you.
I think it might be the angle that makes it look kinda weird, since it's that whole index-finger-under-the-nose type of thing I was going for (seen in his Mario & Luigi artwork). I'm going to leave it be, since the highlights and shadows are drawn by hand and I'd like to avoid drawing them again if I don't need to.



In other news, I have updated the thread with more Ness CSPs! I have also determined who my next victim shall be...

Good morrow! The OP has been updated with some Ganondorf.

Well, Falcon was originally slated to be done next, but the King of Evil is pretty pushy. I decided to listen and not get myself Warlock Punched.
The Captain's still on the way, though!


[EDIT]
Also, how does one merge posts?

Whoa! Nice stuff ya got in this joint! Nice Ganon Pose, I gotta say.

I'm not sure how exactly to merge posts, but I notice it happens if you try to post again before a set amount of time has passed.

Epic, that's all...
Btw, do you take requests? Even if it's just 1 request?

Hm. I see. I guessed it would just automerge to prevent double posting, but I guess that feature's only for preventing rapidly posting spam.

Request info's in the OP, but here it is again for quick reference:

Later: A heavy vertexing or import of a character I have already done that still fits a previously done pose.
Eventually: A character I have not done or a vertex/import of that would require a new pose and new lighting.

In short, feel free to make a request, though when I get around to it depends on whether I've already posed and/or Photoshopped the character already.

Thank you, and I certainly can. The Melee Ganondorfs were actually next on the list.

Photoshop, mostly. I haven't found a way to get very powerful lighting in Brawlbox, so I add a few layers in PS to tweak the contrast and color balance a tad to simulate an actual lit environment. I also paint over it with a layer of highlights and shadows, which is why I haven't done many imports (since the custom-painted lighting would have to be redone).
That explanation totally makes my topic title relevant now.


That said, your Touhou imports may take a few updates, Kyouma. (;
