Artist's Comments

I started out just drawing Ezio in photoshop normally, but then my husband gave me a cool idea. Since Ezio is apparently going to be buddy's with Leonardo Da Vinci, I thought I'd try to make this look like a Da Vinci sketch. In no way did I think I was going to actually match his skill, but I tried... Haha. I even tried to mimic his writing everything backwards, too.

Anyway, I'd like critiques on on how you think it could improve. I'm open to all ideas.

All done in photoshop. I don't own Assassin's Creed, or the characters. Background paper texture was taken from cgtextures.com. Text was taken from the article about Assassin's Creed in this May's Game Informer, issue 193.

The first thing after reading your comment about your pic was to go find a mirror to read the backwards hand writing, haha. The sketchy feeling and the fading background colour adds a nice feeling to this. It's difficult to make things look da Vinci but hey, it looks sketchy and that's kind of the point, right. ;)

I also like how you've left his boots unfinished. It's as if you had something else in your mind that needed to be drawn and hence left as it is.

Totally faving this. :aww:

Haha, thanks! Yeah, Da Vinci style is hard to achieve in photoshop, lol. Also, Could you actually read it with the mirror?

Yes, I could read it with the mirror. :aww: It was perfectly written. Did you practise writing like that before you put the text into the pic or was it improvisation because it looks good.

Well, to be honest, I just wrote the text normally, added a few curly ends to longer letters, and then flipped it. I'm not gifted enough to write backwards, though I did attempt it... and it looked horrible. haha

drawing like da vinci is a pain in the butt. I've traied, and failed so horribly, I almost didn't want to look at the picture I tried to draw ever again. >.<

You did a very nice job on this. I really like it. I would have added some more shading myself, but that's just me. I think it looks fine how it is.

Geez, I always feel douchey when I criticize, but you did state that you're open to all ideas. The Assassin emblem's a little wider than normal. Besides that, this work's pristine.

Oh, wow! You're right. When I was drawing it, I was actually thinking it was too close together. lol And btw, I'm glad you pointed it out. That's what constructive criticism is for (something that's lacking on this site.)

I'll change it later. Thank you so much for the fave, too :)
