I just finished a illustration of Starky, my favorite character from Squaresoft’s Chrono Cross:

This picture was done in Photoshop CS. I used this concept art of Starky as reference, although, as you can tell, I departed from the source quite a bit (He’s cuter that way). If you’re one of those high quality types, you can get a copy of the image in lossless PNG format, or if you want to see how I did everything, you can download the 1.6MB Photoshop PSD file.

I really like how this turned out. Although I originally wanted to add in his laser gun, I got lazy at the end and decided to leave him as is. I got his ’stats’ directly from the game, but I not sure I’m happy how the text layout came out.

Please leave any comments or critiques you have. This is my first time messing around with gradients in illustration, and I’d like to hear what people think about it (good or bad). Thanks, and hope you like it!
