    Holy Moly!! What a gorgeous painting, J_E!! =D= I'm particularly loving the light--the way it's highlighting the robes and hands and his gnarly face--just beautifully done! It's going to be great to see this one finished--can't wait!

  5. Hey falcon,

    thanks bud, really appreciate it. It is finished though, it's a loose painting, going to be going through manay characters over the next few months :)

    Cheers again,

    Jonny :D

    Whoa, those are awesome! The details in both completely blew me away! Very nice job! =D=

    Your style of coloring in PS is exactly what I'm interested in learning. Do you have any tips to get someone learning on the right path?
     
  10. Hey Solo!

    Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'd be more than happy to help you out. I've attached an image of the Obi progress that I saved during it's process.

    [image=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/jonathanmc/obiwanprogress.jpg]

    To begin with I always start out blobby, getting all the colours and lighting in first to block everything out. From there I begin to refine areas, shift things round if out of line and fix up the colouring and lighting. As everything becomes more refined I begin to add sharper shading but leave it with a sketchy look, and I build on that as I go to build up the textures.

    If I can help out anymore give me a shout bud, and anyone else too :D

    Cheers again!!

    Jonny :)

    Thanks so much for that tutorial! [:D]

    I looked it over last night before heading to bed and I need to try it out sometime. Just a question on layers - did you lay out each color/detail on a new layer or how did you work that out?

    Burning Anakin is a great represenation of that haunting and disturbing scene in ROTS.

    Oh my...

    These latest paintings are unbelievable, Jonathan! =D==D=

    I totally agree with grad here: the intensity of emotion is absolutely raw: Anakin's uncontrolled fury is right there for us to see...it's chilling, and really takes me back into the duel and its gruesome end... **shudders**

    Beautiful capture of likeness in each one, and I can't get over the light in them both--stunning! I feel the heat and fire of Mustafaar in both!

    Amazing work! =D==D=
