I went off topic for this project. I was making some interesting shapes in alchemy and put together this robot with energy whips. I didn't plan on doing this for my project but I liked where it was going so I decide to finish it. I used pull shapes, x shapes, ribbon shapes, type shapes, and detached shapes under the create section in alechmy. I saved these sessions as a pdf and opened them up in photoshop. I selected some of the shapes and adjusted them with transformation tools. I drew a quick sketch over the top of the shapes to get some structure. I shaded everything in black and white and adjusted certain parts that did not look right. I put my layers into sets, then copyed and merged the set into a flat image. With the flatten image I would create new layers and paint on them. I would place those new layers into a set and copy it again. I always keep a set with all my layers in case I mess up. The last thing I did was add color.
