That is funny. I expect Dino to come running up and landing on Maul's check and start licking his face.

Great job!

AG88, Dino and Maul like this:

That is funny.

AG88

 

Oh yeah!!



Leave it to AG88 to come up with another suggestion like this! Well done, BIEREN!!

FF

 

Falcon, AG88, thanks for commenting. I have another one in the works, but it is very complex and will no doubt take awhile.

 

You have some really great pics in here, and I especially liked your Yoda/Yaddle pic its really nice. Though I might be biased since my family nickname is Yoda

And your Barney, Fred, Maul one, It really got me cracking up

 

Glad you liked it. I posted a new one today.

 

What soitscometothis said!!



Beautiful! And a history lesson to boot!



And thanks for the guffaws!



FF

 

Did Robert E. Lee give out that creepy --like Palpatine did in ROTS-- before he ignited his saber?



Good job!!

AG88

 

soitscometothis, thanks for your reply. but, whats a guffaws?

 

Webster's College Dictionary:

guffaw, n., v., -fawed, -fawing. -n. 1. a loud, unrestrained burst of laughter. -v. 2. to laugh loudly and boisterously.



FF

 

Thanks FF, I thought guffaw might have been computer lingo, which I'm not too savy in. But now I know.

 

Just added a new illustrator piece, though i should get back to painting.

 

Very nice Illustrator piece. I have seen that a lot of people use Illustrator; how does that differ from Photoshop or Corel Painter?

AG88

 

AG88, I?ve never heard of Corel Painter-- I?m not that computer savvy. However, Photoshop and Illustrator are quite different. Photoshop is for picture manipulation and limited drawing. For drawing itself, Illustrator is the way to go. The control you have over shapes and lines is excellent, in many ways it is easier to draw with the computer, then it is with a pencil, really.

 

Still practicing with illustrator, I just posted my latest piece.

 

Oooo! Great image to post on Halloween! I always loved this: all the petty little grousings among all the pompous officer-types, cut off in mid-complaint by Vader's invisible Force-grip... **shudders** A wonderful rendering of a chilling moment in the film!

FF

 

Nice job! I am going to have to check out illustrator. It may be similar to Corel painter. Painter is geared toward artists doing their own art work, so it doesn't have the manipulation properties of PS. But it has dozens of different types of brushes. It is fantastic for painting. You can try it for free from Corel for a month.

Thanks FF, AG88, I loved this scene as a kid, I discovered a new blurring tech. in photoshop. so that helped a lot.

Nice...or should I say, [Vader] most impressive. [/Vader]

Love the scene. You got a lot of great detail in there - it doesn't seem like you lost anything from the original image. I'm really impressed with the facial expressions of both Moffs and applying the blur effect to the BG was an excellent idea. Everything looks so smooth. It's a very small thing, but there's a couple of area's around the guy that's getting choked where the lines detailing the wall in back don't flow as nicely into the blurred effect as the rest of the wall.

Its not Star Wars sorry, its a commissioned piece, I hope you like it.

Wow, that's beautiful, BIEREN! You certainly captured that distinctive "Kirk stare," that's for sure! Great light here, and the b/g is perfect to set off his gold uniform. Another wonderful piece (and as for me, ST is nearly as good as SW--I hope you get a commission for Jean-Luc Picard--I'll bet that'd be just awesome!!)!

FF

 

i finished the painting last night, if i get a chance to repost it I will. I like ST as well, but SW is much much better

 

man, you got skills with a brush! hope they paid you well-excellent job!
