Finally! The little challenge that *Svera and I had going on, is now finished. A month or two ago, we both challenged each other to do a Ben Barnes portrait in character as Prince Caspian, and in full armor. We wanted badly to give that horrible chain-mail a try.

I managed to get a decent look of the chain-mail. I used the drop shadow square brush and made a bunch of "C"s, and in other areas, I made circles and gave the illusion that they're linked, by going over certain areas with a much darker color. So yes, they're all hand drawn. Each and every last one of those little suckers. Same goes for all those darn grommets. I tried out the pen tool for the first time to do the sword. That tool is not easy to work with, at all.

The WIPs are somewhere in my WIPs folder in my gallery.

We agreed last night that we'd both upload our drawings today, so keep an eye out for it.

*Squeeee*! Check out her version here.
