Lean's Graphics Gallery: Star Wars Model Kit Comps

[Lean]

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

[shadowgrin]

What is your Force specialty?

[CKal]

Jerseys... are his specialty?

Nice, clean work there Lean.

[shadowgrin]

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

Lean knows what I'm talking about.

[Lean]

What is your Force specialty?

Force Pull and Push. It's like this

[shadowgrin]

You truly are a Jedi Master.

[Lean]

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.

[deihatein]

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

[Bryan_C.]

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

[Lean]

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:

[Bryan_C.]

Lol we have the same body good job on those pics

[shadowgrin]

That umbrella rox.

[Lean]

Couple of my recent stuff:

[Patr1ck]

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

[Angelo]

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

[Lean]

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?

[Lean]

They will find it for eternity. *evil laugh*

[Patr1ck]

You play badminton, lean?

[Lean]

No, not at all.

[shadowgrin]

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

[Lean]

I answered honestly.

[Tyler]

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

[Lean]

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)

[Bryan_C.]

any new masterpieces you got there Lean?
