CHEWIE's customs updated 06.22.2012

[jedistyle]

wow CHEWIE, this is a great update!

that bith is awsome! the weathering and color choice's on him are great. this is just a super sick figure and i can't wait to see him in a dio-story!

i really like the "copy custom" kala with the black outfit and the larger hoody, nice look. this is my favorite kala for sure.

the new kala with the armor and blaster looks pretty cool, especially with the hoody and torn up cape. a far cry from the typical look of the jedi and a nice change.

great update and thanks for showing them CHEWIE.

I would have never thought to use a Swamp Rat cape. it looks awesome. I might have to try and figure something out to use mine for.

[Spectre]

Chewie, Nice updates!

My favorite has to be the battle armor Kala, nice weathering and overall design work.

The Bith merc is also very well done. Great color choice on this one as well.

You're going to laugh, but I actually planned on giving that exact same Predator cape (P.S.- if you ever decide you no longer want that Pred's spear, drop me a line ) to one of my spare Sneak Preview Wookie Warriors! Great minds think alike I guess

As always, great work and I'm looking forward to seeing all of these great characters pop up in future chapters of your photonovel

[CHEWIE]

Jedistyle, thanks bud.  I appreciate your feedaback as always.  And Kala is quickly becoming a favorite of mine to work on.

Clonehunter, that cape thing for Swamp Rat does work well.  There is a Cobra insignia on it that is pretty easy to scrape off with an exacto knife.

Spectre, hope you're feeling better!  And I think you actually said something about that cape before in a PM, so who knows, I might have gotten the idea from you.   

Anyways, how about a photonovel preview update?

Great Photo Chewie.  Did you super-impose that background on the image?

[Famine]

Nope, Justin actually took a "location" trip to Bermuda to make that shot!

[CHEWIE]

Yeah, it's a superimposed background.  It doesn't look at sharp as I'd like, so I might have to go back and redo it.  Thanks for the comments.

 

[BrentS]

Do you shoot against a blue screen or just try to simple cut away the background?

[Nirvana]

I like that pic alot. The background still looks totally awesome, although I hear you about the sharpness. I can't wait for the next one, nobody could ever top your photonovels.

[Talon_Karrde]

all i'm seeing is red x's on the last two pages, n e one else get this??

[CHEWIE]

Thanks guys.

Brent - No, I just shoot them as normal, and crop/edit - I tried a bluescreen technique a few times, but never could get it to work out.

Darth Nirvana - The sharpness is really bothering me, so I'll probably redo that pic (and a few others).

Talon - I don't know know why it isn't showing for you?

Chewie, that simply looks beautiful. Funny thing though, today I was looking up photoshop tutorials, and a sunset/light rays one came up. So I took your picture and spiced it up with that new found knowledge, added in a little glow and some shadows. . . .



Then on this one I darkened the ground a little bit to take out the flash.


Sorry, I couldn't resist! 

[CHEWIE]

No problem GGPiKE, that looks really cool.  I am thinking about changing the tint on that pic, and the whole setting for that area actually.  Nice editing, I'm still trying to learn more techniques!

 

[GGPiKE]

It seems like there are alwys new techniques to learn . . . . only problem is, you get to the point where you are constantly trying to keep improving something instead of just leaving it alone.

[CHEWIE]

Ok, I worked on it some more.  I think this is more of the look I wanted.
