This one was sooooooooooooooo much fun to paint. You have no idea. I never got stressed out ONCE during the creation of this painting. I owe a lot of that stress-free love to the ImagineFX forum. They helped me out quite a bit with the final touches. ^_^

Here we have the lovely Jewel Staite in her role as Kaylee on Joss Whedon's genius show Firefly. You can find the original reference shot here: [link] .

I wanted to do a sci-fi pic because I never really do them anymore. Must be because I went through a phase where I didn't watch Star Trek or play with lightsabers...sad.... But now! Now I've been obsessively playing the KOTOR Star Wars games and watching Firefly/Serenity on DVD. Anyway, I wanted to up the tension considerably from the original shot. Different colors, much darker and more dramatic. I think it turned out pretty well. I'm especially proud of her eye, and the fact that I managed to paint in (most) of those wires and cables and metal bits (although you can see where I got lazy by the door x} ).

This was about a week maybe?
Wall textures from...one of the IFX DVDs...can't remember which. XD
Painter IX, as always. ^_^
