Art's Gallery ** UPDATE 2019-09-04 K-2SO**
« on: October 08, 2010, 01:11:22 PM »
Hi Yarders,

for those who are interested in my other Star Wars related artworks - beside the action figure composites - I will showcase some of them in this board still focusing on digital composites.

One of my most extensive pieces to date is Jedi-Master Tohno beeing more painting than composite...
She was back cover girl on issue #57 of the German Star Wars Fan Club magazine.
Hope you like her. Please feel free to ask any question.

That is absolutely stunning! Such great colors and scenery., shadows and light, all lending themselves to an incredible work of art!

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure I am believing what my  eyes are seeing...

Did you create that image yourself? is it a digital painting, or a manipulated photo?

I also looked at some of your other pieces of work, the imperial officer was one that particularly stood out, again, is it a manipulated photo, or a digital painting?

I really cannot believe your talent, I'm am soooooo impressed!!!

thank you very much :D

well, part painting, part of photo or better photos:
Tohno=  the background and some pieces of the foreground are coming from photos, though I did paint the lower third of the background mountains and blend it with the photo. Her face, or better parts of it like the eyes and mouth are from a photo, too, all the rest was painted digitally by me. The pose was inspired directly out of the clone wars comic.

The Imperial Officer= backgroud is a screenshot from ROTJ, slightly retouched/rearranged; the officer is a photo of a cosplayer which I also retouched, for example adding blue backlight, intensify the eyes, light reflections and so on, just like the graphic guys pimp up the cover girls  ;D
then melting everything together my way ... thats all.
And there are others out there with much more talent ;)

Well, there may be others with more talent, but that does not detract from the fact that your work is very creative and so beautifully done.

First off, I don't see anything out if proportion, so either I'm blinder than I thought, or you are too hard on yourself. I'm betting it's the latter.

So, my next question to you is, are you up for a challenge/project? I have a character I'd like to see recreated in your stylings in a few different poses. Let me know if you're game, and I'll get with you via PM.

thanks man! ;)

well, I am always open to join projects, doing poster artworks, cards ... and if the character, ships etc. already exist, its okay with me for I can not invent things out of the blue, my imagination is limited to play around with things I can see, altering them and so one, thats all. And I am no graphic designer, doing fonts, borders and things like that...
sounds like a big thing, more than one image... but sure, drop me some lines, I am curious now ;)

I posted this somewhere else here in the boards within an reply message, but Hangarbay mentioned it earlier on in this thread  so I thought I should show it here, too. Its a digital composite of a cosplayer in his movie accurate imperial uniform and second, another heavy photo manipulation showing a cosplayer acting as a Sith Lord.
Have Fun :)




BTW this is the original photo of our Sith here: http://www.swfn.de/images/makingof/artwork/1.jpg

Both composites I did as commisssions for the guys and their fan club Star Wars Fans Nuremberg (Germany).
