Zac Gorman of Magical Game Time made this deep animated comic about Link from The Legend of Zelda receiving a sword. Here is a little bit about the artists’ process and you can read more here:

“I do all my gif animation in Photoshop CS3 using the Animation palette. For my line work, I alternate between traditional techniques, Manga Studio EX4, and Photoshop CS3 (or occasionally a combination of them), and for color I almost exclusively use Photoshop. When I’m drawing digitally, I use a scratched up 9×12 Wacom Intuos 3 tablet and when I’m working traditionally I use any combination of brushes, dip pens, brush pens, fountain pens, pencils, and more to achieve the look I’m going for.”
