BSG Kara Thrace 'Starbuck' Photoshop Speed Painting

This is a speed painting/Photoshop tutorial of Katee Sackhoff as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from the Battlestar Galactica TV Series (Starbuck character (c) Sci-fi)

This image was created in about 5 hours using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and a wacom bamboo fun tablet. I use a Mac, but the software is available on PC as well.

If anyone is using this or other images as avatars or in fanart montages or whatever, just let me know and give me credit and a link, thanks!

Admiral Cain promotes her to Captain and CAG when she's on the Pegasus. I think she was still a Lieutenant in the scene that I referenced this pic from, but I went with the rank that she ended with.

Isn't it Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace? Instead of Capt.?
