Speed Painting "Star Wars: Legacy" cover #42

The making of "Star Wars: Legacy" #42-- In stores now. Or you can order your copy from:
http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/16-141/Star-Wars-Legacy-42----Divided-Loyalties Digital painting is done freehand in Photoshop CS, on a Mac. Recorded with Snaps Pro X and final post done with Adobe After Effects and Mpeg Streamclip.

Actual time for completion was approx. 3 hours. Some video footage is missing, specifically at the end, where I sometimes will noodle out some more details, even after the painting is considered finished.

You can find copies of this in Comic book and specialty stores, and I have even seen stores such as Barnes and Noble and Borders carrying them.

This is absolutly amazing. Your art inspires me to keep practicing so maybe someday i can be as good as you! This cover is awesome, have done any other comicbook covers?

Thanks! This one is one of about 5 (I think) that was done recently. You can go to Dark Horse's website and do a search, and the the results of what has so far been released will show up. As far as other comic work-- there is some... But I really don't want lay claim to it... ;-) (it was bad.)

You will now find an extra copy of Photoshop and a Wacom on eBay.

Hello, I am really inspired by your work, however I am a beginner at 2d deign software, I tried trials of 3d programs such as zbrush, but I am rubbish.

Currently I just sketch with paper and pencil, but I would really like to move on to digital drawing.

What program do you use for your work?

Do know any similar programs for beginners?

Thank you very much.

awesome!

God your work always keeps me thinking how it's even possible to do this sort of work. I enjoy just sitting on my computer time after time just relaxing and viewing your art work because it makes me feel like I can do this if I work hard enough. Your very talented and I just wish that other teens like myself could enjoy this type of art. I am the only kid at my school who would take the time out to just sit for hours on end and view every piece of detail on an image because it facinates me.
