I know it's late, but when I see an opportunity I feel like I have to take it.

And you say SabreMau didn't do this?

You have achieved the maximum number of stars.

bowen

Wow that's amazing.

Henroid

That's pretty great. :^:

simulacrum

Not enough stars.

Edcrab

Amazing.

PaperLuigi44

Oh my god.

BoomShake

Every star I'll ever be able to give.

Every person who votes less than 5 hates America,

I have to ask, how did he do it?

Nocturne

Ahaha

I love how the "MY DIIICK" panel was so overused for a while that now in order to use it you have to do something fucking amazing with it

Because this is fucking amazing

I dunno about all that, but the story behind the specific techniques employed does sound interesting.

Mangoes

I would draw the basic lines on a new layer, put the layer on "preserve transparency", draw in the detail, and use the bevel layer effect* or simply draw in the shadows and highlights to give depth.

*Though I do not endorse the use of such an effect under ordinary circumstances, it seems like it works quite well for this purpose.

P.S. I gave it every star I had.

Woo, my first awesome post! This is exciting.

Welll...

1. I traced Tycho's outline with a solid black brush, using a separate layer for each part (eyes, hair, head, mouth, hands, shirt, etc).
2. Then I duplicated those layers.
3. Applied bevel & emboss (tweaking the highlight and shadow colors to make it look less glossy) to the "top" layers
4. Added a color overlay, picking the appropriate color from the left panel of the comic
5. Added a 2 pixel drop shadow at a 1 pixel distance (or something like that, I don't remember exactly)
6. Added an inner shadow to give the yarn a little extra depth
7. Used a 2 pixel brush eraser to carve out the yarn lines
8. Merged the two layers for each section
9. Merged all the sections
10. Added a touch of monochrome noise to roughen it up a bit and further reduce gloss
11. Used some stock fabric images for the background

Triple B

Man it was so much more magical before you explained how you did it. Still, 5.

YOU TOO CAN MAKE KIRBY YARN ART! I actually enjoyed reading how you did it too, I like learning how to do shit in PS.
