Yeah, that was incredible. I have no idea how to edit videos like this, but it looks like it took quite a bit of time.

I captured the original video, then exported each frame as jpegs. Then I went into photoshop and basically drew over each frame (about 600+ frames). That was the most time consuming part.

For the final shot, I animated the hair and skirt from scratch to make them more "wavy." Everything else, from backgrounds to compositing was easy. Probably took about 7 weeks working on it on and off.

im pretty sure if god of war had a playable female character, she would wear 4 times as less clothes

Awesome job. If you exported each frame JPG into photoshop, why didn't you just make them all sketch? It probably would not had taken so long. Then again, your satisfaction of accomplishment might not as be as great. What you did was a lot of frkn work. Madd props to you.

[Fma1416]

lol, I was thinking the same thing.

[Fma1416]

That's how I thought it worked, and that's why I knew it took a long time. I couldn't see myself having the patience to do something like this, so I definitely respect your work on this.
