Sept 27th: Finished Jedi in Acrylic

Well, this mono-chromatic neon wonder is finished.  I love it. But then again, it's Star Wars and I'm biased.  I honestly don't know if I'll want to sell this one... but being as poor as I am, I might!
I really wanted to get the lighting right.  Without the correct lighting, the passion would be missing.  If only one emotion gets through in this painting, I hope it's rage.  He's pissed.
By the way, if you ever endeavor to paint with neon acrylics some day, they are very opaque and I would highly recommend mixing them with white.  Otherwise, they may not show up.  Overall, I'm ok with everything but his face.  The toy I was painting from was... well... a toy and the facial features weren't exact.  So there was some fudging.  I'm assuming from his garb and the color of his lightsaber that people will be able to tell that it's Luke.

Fine.  No more time-wasting.  I'm on to the difficult oil painting of doom!  Bring it.
