Max Malicious Photosynthesis

Some Smash Ultimate fanart I made a little while back for an art contest I unfortunately did not win. Made entirely with Photoshop.

Finished version.

Sketch. The slightly transparent lines were used as a reference when drawing the flames.

Finished line art that I spent way too long on but hey it looks great.

Colored and textured (with a separate layer on Overlay).

Separated colors I used the Radial Blur (zoom) effect on to achieve the light ray effect in the final version.
