Lean's Graphics Gallery: Star Wars Model Kit Comps

It is, though the base photo is actually me, holding a green and yellow umbrella.

What is your Force specialty?

Jerseys... are his specialty?

Nice, clean work there Lean.

^ You sir, are not fit to be a Jedi.

Lean knows what I'm talking about.

What is your Force specialty?

Force Pull and Push. It's like this

You truly are a Jedi Master.

So because of my bum-ness, here is the partial thingie of this Jedi guy, who resembles me for unknown reasons:



I still don't know what to do with it though, could become my wallpaper perhaps. More adjustments to be done.

It resembles you because it was you.

Anyway top notch work Lean . You could change the wallpaper though and maybe add the Princess(forgot the name) that is one the Star Wars I-III saga or maybe Yoda.

There are some guy that have the same avatar and sig like you and a Laker bandwagoner. . I dont like it when i see that because it like ruin the original one who first make it and maybe because of the Laker thing

are you that person on the picture? ikaw ba talaga yun?Im just wondering

Yes that's me alright. In fact, this is the photo I based it from:

BEHOLD THE ALMIGHTY UMBRELLA!!!111ONE


Boredom at its finest. Taken last January (2008) before I had my haircut for the thesis defense. I did this though I don't know what for.

Meanwhile, this is the wallpaper finished product of this recent work of mine:

Lol we have the same body good job on those pics

That umbrella rox.

Couple of my recent stuff:

Wow, the second one looks like a 3d render.

looks good bro lean can you somehow please tell me how you did it? i really like to learn those things

Kris, I thought you're from Eidos.

Thanks for the comments, Pat, though I don't know where to print that second picture as I really intend to give it to that girl (she's a real person, used a photo of her as base and turned into something like that).

Now for the sell-out. Without any pics, here's how I did both the Jedi Guy and the Painting Girl:

1. Open a photo. The higher the resolution the better.

2. Create a new layer over it, and get the Pen Tool. Select the Shape Layer option. (refer to the Painting Girl as example) I traced the headshape first (the hair excluded), I mean the entire head.

3. Rasterize the Shape Layer and give it a Gaussian Blur of 1 pixel.

4. Then I used the Burn Tool to bring in some shades. (EDIT) What I did here is set the opacity of the Head Layer to 0% so that I'll see my base pic and have the base pic as guide in my shading. Use Midtones only. Set the Exposure to 10% so that the shading won't be too cheesy.

5. Use the Dodge Tool to give the image highlights. Use Midtones and set Exposure to 10%.

6. Do until all parts are done. Simmer your PSD file for 10 minutes.

What I did there is to include my signature in the finished product to make it more painting-like. The Painting Girl took only a few hours while the Jedi Guy took me a week since I'm still thinking on how to do it.

That one looks like the poster for a circus, specifically a freak show.
See Lean's one-eyed monster?

They will find it for eternity. *evil laugh*

You play badminton, lean?

No, not at all.

Pdub's hitting on you.
You're so clueless Lean.
No wonder you're experiencng weakness in your game with the ladies.

I answered honestly.

There's a badminton racket behind you in the picture.
That is why he asked you that question...

I am too young to understand. Actually that design was ripped-off from an art that my elder brother made for a local singing contest:

(pardon the resolution this poster that my brother made isn't the final version though)

any new masterpieces you got there Lean?
