Artist's Comments

"You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!"

- Obi-Wan Kenobi
.


Painting of my favourite scene in ROTS. Yes, the one in which Anakin Skywalker gets flambé'd. :laughing: Referenced from a Star Wars CCG card.

I've realised that my greatest weakness where painting is concerned is - I depend entirely too much on preliminary sketches. If I have to do everything from scratch digitally - *especially* if it means painting from blobs of colour - I'm pretty much bantha fodder. So from now on, whenever I can, I'm going to force myself to do exactly that. (Uh, practice, I mean, *not* become bantha fodder). Even if it means subjecting my hapless watchers to crappy paintings.

EDIT: Fixed his damned teeth. :laughing: I guess 'Jedi' and 'good chompers' don't usually go together... Added a touch of sweat beads too, upon the suggestion of a friend.


Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mustafar, and everything else Star Wars property of George Lucas.

I dunno why, but maybe it's the eye alignment that makes me feel as if his face is a bit off...

But other than that. Gorgeous! The colour mood is just perfect. ^^ *Steals* >.> <.< *Runs away with it*

To relieve stress, think happy thoughts.
Who knows, maybe you'll fly.

Uh... rendering? Sorry, I keep thinking in terms of 3D renders and ray-tracing. :laughing: Thanks very much!

:icondavincipoppalag:
By that I meant you drew it really well...I keep forgetting these new meanings words have taken on.

Fantastic! I love the film-reel border.

Your ability to convey texture continues to wow me.
:icondarthfar:
Uh... yeah, it looked odd to me too, but I thought that was just me. And then you mentioned it... so I went and checked by taking the original and overlaying it on my painting. The eyes are aligned with the original (I guess he's just not perfectly symmetrical :laughing:); the *teeth* on the other hand... egads, the teeth. Look like an orthodontist's nightmare. :dohtwo:

Thanks for the heads-up, though, and thanks! :)

Thanks! :D Uh... textures are what custom brushes are for. ;) I have this nice weird scribbly one that I use for just about *everything*, but looks best as cloth texture.

Now that you mentioned it, maybe it's the shadows on the teeth too. But still, nothing too distracting. A very good realistic work. ^^ Meesa likes it.

And I love the beard!!! Teh hair...teh strands...teh colour...teh texture..........


Uh...yeah...getting too obsessive over Ewan now. Uhh..buh bye.
