wallpaper help...

[Ktulu]

Hey guys, I'm new to this board. My realname is Edwin and I live in the Netherlands.

Okay here's my question.
I have made a wallpaper, but I'm not quitte happy yet with the result.

I'm speaking of this wallpaper:

I think the two Jedi (Anakin and Obi1) are too black..
I'm not that good in drawing so can anybody help me make this a great wallpaper?

Tnx,

Ktulu

..looks like all the lava and stuff is from a photograph?
If so, then why not take the Jedis from a photo too? :rolleyes:

EP III is to come out in 2005, so there aren't any photo's of them in that pose and with a EP III outfit.... but tnx anyway.. :)

..ah i see :)


well, do you have any sketches of these characters? is this 1:1 size? could we get a zoom in on the dudes? Do you have any reference? What else is there?



(I don't think anyone simply will draw them for you. You probably just have to improve them yourself. But who knows - I could be wrong..)

i think the lava is too satured compared to your background... but i like the idea to see the two little jedis in a big big environment... "the fall of the jedi" will be the title ??

[talmir]

It would be a fitting title since in Star wars 4: new hope there are hardly any jedis left in the galaxy and the galaxy is in a state of turmoil. A long time ago in a video store far far away

I don't know if "The fall of the Jedi" is the title, it's just my lucky guess.

@ soul8o8: I will post some recent pics of Anakin and Obi..

I like the big environment, but my eyes are too quickly drawn to that big bright patch of magma there in the middle since it is so much brighter than anything else. My eye goes straight there and it's hard to focus on the two small figures in the lower right there. The lightsabers help, but you may need something else to draw someones eye down to Obi and Anakin.

tnx for the advise... :)

I've got some big help by Force Kin. He made the Jedi look very cool!!

Here is the update:

That looks way better.

[spork891]

I agree.

m2... so I guess it's finished.
Therefore this thread can be closed..

I agree with the previous comment about the magma/lava. It is just way too bright and completely draws your attention to a geographical feature, rather than the characters in the foreground. I kinda liked them better when they were silhoutetted as the lack of detail was a contrast against the background and made them read better (the detailing on the characters is cool though, I'm just not sure that it works for this image).
