A Stormtrooper Unmasks

Post by Old Plympto »

Been a while since I painted, so here's something I came up with my trusty Wacom tablet. Pencilled and painted in Painter Classic, then finished with shadows and highlights in Photoshop 6. No references, so that might be the reason why the far arm looks terrible compared to the nearer one.

Geez, I need to pencil better.

Hope you guys like it.

The eyes on the mask don't seem right. They look too small.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Aye. I should have at least used my Hasbro figure for reference for the helmet's eyes and shadows and other details.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I like the concept of it, and the shadows are great. Just the one thing I don't like is the eyes on the helmet.

If we are giving constructive criticism... I like the eyes, cool looking style. Much more skull like. My problem is with the left arm or armor pieces. There should be some black between the gauntlet and breast plate as the shoulder armor doesn't wrap all the way around. If that space were blacked out it would give the arm a slimmer look which I think would look better.

That stormtrooper helmet looks like it's going to cry. I think the helmet misses its owner already. :(
