Radiant Photoshop: Winged Lily
Sat 2009/10/17 04:58 JST

As promised, here's a photoshop I did of Saber Lily. Taken from Kodomut's awesome idea of putting feathers on Lily, I decided to try one using photoshop.
Here's a youtube video of it being painted. Took me about an hour to do this:
Not much extra content other than a buncha nendoroids fooling around (and a wallpaper of the image), but here's the full post if you're interested:

Very awesome work!
thank you!
Lookin' good! I'm always a sucker for wings... but the YT video doesn't seem to work.
yeah, I noticed that too. There must be some sorta database error. It was working a moment ago. I guess you'll just have to check back later. :\
Awesome!...I just watched it with HD on. Did you use a tablet, or just a mouse?
Thanks! I used a tablet. I don't think I'd be able to do this with a mouse. I used to, about 12 years ago. Now I can't live without it. ^_^
It works to me. >_>
Yah, now it works :)
that looks wicked :D great job!!
Thanks! Seeing your avatar always makes me happy. ^_^
makes me happy too!
Oh my god this blew my mind away!!! I can't believe it takes you only an hour to pull off something this amazing, this is too great! Did you use a regular tablet, or a cintiq or mouse?
Any chance to get a full res. of this image?
I used an intuos 3. Cintiq is VERY expensive. Maybe when I'm rich, I'll buy one of those.
Sure, I'll put the full res one on my website, just for you Yaku! <3
Oh wow thanks so much RD! I'd really like to use it as a dekstop wallie~
You're welcome! Enjoy the desktop wallpaper!
Agreed, I'm right-clicking as we type, *with your permission*....awesome job for only an hour!..
This would definitely make an amazing desktop background. Kudos dude, kudos!
Arigato! hee hee I really like your avatar. It's so cute and funny!
amazing job!
Thanks very much! ^_~
WOW! Very nice ^_^ It must take hours
Nope! Only 1 hour! XD
OMG! That is beyond amazing. I don't even know what to say. xD
Thanks! What you've already said makes me very happy! ^_^
Very nice work! Good job.
thanks! ^_^
Nice! Add an outer glow around her and you've got one angelic Saber! But this appears better for the warrior angel look. Great job!
that sounds like a pretty good idea. I might go back and try that out to see if I can get a nice effect. Thanks!
amazing, especially with the detail work! :D
thanks! It's actually not that detailed as you can see the brush strokes are very thick if you zoom into the image. ^^;
amazing!! Only one hour and you can make it so perfect!
thanks! ^_^
You, are teh best!
such flattery! XD
she look pretty *v*
Yeah, she does! I'm so happy to have bought her! I was a little anxious when everyone was getting their Saber Lily's and I hadn't even gotten an in-stock notification yet.
lucky for you cause you have saber lily i dont even have one ToT man!!malaysia are suck!!!
What do you mean? You could order one online, no?
yeah i know but all of them are preorder and pay with credit card the thing is i dont even have credit card and i dont like preorder cause it need to pay extra money ToT
Most places don't require credit card - just paypal. You can link your paypal account to your bank account.
hobbysearch, hlj, e2046 all do paypal.
Awesome artwork! Angelic Lily, I love it!
Great job well done ^0^b
Do you offer a high resolution wallpaper size?
Would love to use it as my desktop wallpaper ^_^
Thanks!
I do have a 1280 wallpaper, if that's big enough.
er.. sorry, there's a private reason why I'm not posting the direct link here. Please follow my blog link to get it!

Very nice! ^O^
^_^ thanks much!
You're an artist too? Must check out your DA!
Very cool. Matches lily so well =)
thanks! It was Kodomut's idea to begin with. :)
That's just beautiful... :O
she definitely is a beauty. hope you bought one too!
awesome!!!!!
thanx! XD
This looks absolutely amazing!
thanks! I should prolly take more shots.
Looks elegant.. This needs to be made in "huge paperweight format".. Though at the size of Saber lily's figure.. This would probably become a shelf hogger O_o
OMG a real Saber Lily with wings would be so incredible. Drooling at the thought. ^_^
lovely! yes we need more figure x photoshopping arts! :3c
Will do! moar to come!
Awesome work there..... Could imagine just rendering out the figurine takes a long time even for me when I use a tablet. However maybe the background lighting and contrast could be improved? Overall its a fabulous piece of work!
yeah, fortunately, didn't have to render out the figurine. ^_^
My lighting skills are lacking and I need better lights. ^^;
WHAT!!??
one hour??
holy shit you must be soo good
awww thanks! I'm ok I guess... there are plenty of talented individuals here on DC!
I'm still finding feathers at some corners of my room until now XD
Hahaha, now I wonder how much feather you had on you at the time XD
I was an el-polo :3
lol that's awesome! where did the feathers come from to begin with?
awesome works is awesome
>_<
please teach meee
thanks! My site has a few starter tutorials you can check out, and I periodically post my processes.
Its like the figma became one with the wings.. or... the other way around ^_^
figma?? O_O
looking good :)
arigato! Your photos are pretty good too! adding you to my deviant watch list!
Awesome! *slow claps*
lol why slow claps?
Wow...it's not only tablet/photoshop skill that is needed, but a good artistic skill too. You are a true artist!
thank you very much for the complement!
NICE PS works!
thanks! ?_? You are in Hong Kong, but have JP website?
Very nicely done.
Thanks very much! Hey, you're in Richmond, cool! We should arrange for another DC get together sometime soon!
I think you've said that before XD but there's one planned for Nov 11 I think.
XD I'm so silly! Yeah, I talked with Arthur after the first one and decided that Remembrance Day would have been a good day to meet. I don't know if I'll be able to make it, since I am going to Singapore for a visit.
Superb work man! Good job! Maybe I wanna try it with my Saber Lily Nendoroid ver. :3
w00t! Comment 80!
You took the idea right outta my head! :3 I'm gonna be doing that like, right now!
Wow your really talented ... ^^ wish i could draw and paint like that ...
Absolutely beautiful <3
AWESOME WORK OF ART!
I'm not sure why I didn't comment on this when I first saw it posted. o.o Anyway, not only was the original photograph good, but the wings take it to a level of epicness! I wonder if this will inspire anyone to get wings for their DD Saber Lily. . .
