[WIP] Ninjago Torso Decals

[ahughes]

I'm working on making replicas all four of the original Ninjago torsos. Lord Tyrus asked me to create these, and I thought others might be interested as well. So far, I have the white and the red:

And now also the blue one:

Nice job! I've been trying to make some decals myself, and I was wondering: How do you make tapered lines like that for the wrinkles and folds in the cloth?

[ahughes]

Well, full disclosure, I'm using Photoshop. I use two different methods:

1) If I want a more thinly tapered look, like with the wrinkles at the bottom, I use the Pen tool to draw a curve twice as long as the line I want, then right-click and select 'Stroke Path', and make sure 'Simulate Pressure' is checked in the pop-up box. This draws a tapered line using the size and color of your Brush tool.

2) If I want a thicker taper, like the lines in the collar area, I'll do the same as method 1, except I don't check the 'Simulate Pressure' box. This gives me a straight, clean line, and I come back in with the Eraser tool and just erase bit by bit by hand until I get the look I want.

You could do method 2 easily in Paint by just drawing a line and then coming back and erasing along its length. A steady hand or a pen tablet are a big help, though :)

Lastly, the black Ninjago, and also just a blank robe:
