I trained as an illustrator so in the spirit of the game I decided to use a medium that is fairly unfamiliar to me to complete this task, photoshop. I usually just use it to change, crop and correct images. I rarely use it as a medium of it's own. I chose to do Lara Black's player photograph because I thought that it was sweet. This was done pretty much free hand, the only thing that I took from the original was a quick out line sketch. I actually enjoyed what photoshop could do in representing an approach akin to painting with oils. I used the same techniques that I use when painting with real oil paint, and achieved a similar, albeit more naive look. I think that I could do much better given time, as with all new mediums.

Warning, it may take a while to upload. If it is taking far too long, let me know and I'll size it down.
