“You want a piece of me, boy?”

As some of you may be aware, yesterday was the long awaited release of StarCraft 2. In celebration I worked up a rotoscope of myself as a Terran Marine. I took a promo image from Blizzard’s website, took a picture of myself, and four hours later, voila! I’m really pleased with how this one turned out, though I left out a ton of detail from Blizzard’s original image. I can’t even begin to fathom how long that took.
I’m about 8 missions into the campaign, and I’m really digging it so far. I’m not quite ready to tackle any online competition though. Leanna didn’t get a chance to sit down a play last night, as we decided to go see Inception instead. I definitely enjoyed the movie, though I didn’t find it quite as mind blowingly awesome as I’d been led to believe.
Counting down the days until we move; which is a little awkward since we don’t have a solid date yet.

Here's the inks. I wished I had saved an image of the flats, but I forgot.


This one is my favorite by far in this style.
