Clone War

[Livio]

I was a big fan of Gendy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars series that first aired a few years back. More so than the actual Star Wars prequels, I felt like that animated series painted a really cool portrait of just what an entire galaxy at war would look like. And I always enjoyed seeing these elite Clonetrooper soldiers carrying out an impossible assignment on some god-awful planet.

So with this painting, I wanted it to seem sort of like a World War 2 photo taken during one of the rare "quiet" moments of combat. This was also the first digital painting I've done entirely in Photoshop, with no Painter IX. Which I didn't even notice until I finished it.

Until next time!

I really like the overall color choices, but I think the perspective of some of the ships is off.

Nice shot!

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Charles- I'm sure the ships are off here and there. I gave it a shot:)

Arnie- Glad you liked it! I was hoping people could tell what that was supposed to be.


B. Wood- Thanks!

Wow, that's a great painting - and that you did it all in Photoshop? Well beyond me. Good use of light Livio, you should feel proud of this.

Hey Cracker-
Thanks! I drew the basic linework on paper and scanned it in, but all the color and painting is entirely Photoshop.

Very cool, Livio! Very futuristic "trenchy."

Peace.
