Just a screenshot of something I'm working on for myself, because I love me some obscure Star Wars fanart. I'm working in Manga Studio instead of Photoshop because I'm allowing myself lineart on this one since it's not for my portfolio. A girl's gotta have her fun somehow.
I used the same scan-a-tiny-thumbnail-at-high-DPI-and-work-in-digitally process here as in the Mystic Gunslinger--the thumbnail was about three inches square. It's a process I've used a lot since discovering it a couple years ago, just because it cuts out that extra step of re-drawing the thumbnail at size. When I was in school and my professors wanted to see detailed sketches or traditional inking, I'd scan the thumbnails at high DPI, print them out at size, and throw them on the light table to use as a base for a new sketch, just like I do now digitally. Now I don't bother, since I'm usually just going to be inking digitally, anyway.
And speaking of the Mystic Gunslinger, here's some progress on it. I want it done for my grad school application in a couple weeks, so I've got to get cracking. Laid in the background, actually using reference for the dust for once. I'm really trying to use reference more, even on things that I think I know how to draw.
I've been thinking about morality meters in games, too. I'm hoping to write a post on the subject soon, since it's one near and dear to my Bioware-fangirl heart.
