Description
FINALLY. I haven't uploaded here in what... 3 MONTHS??? Dang... I really need to get with the program... Sorry about the wait people... School and all that. Anyways...Yeah... I tried out a new style of photoshoping. Painting! And I must say, I'm quite happy with it. Definitely needs some refining, but for my first try, I'm happy with how this came out. I'll probably be using this style a lot more in the future, I really like it, and I like the end result, so, let me know what you think. ^_^
About the pic: Ah... General Grievous... again... what? I think he's freaking awesome. At least, he is in the animated series. Anyway, not too much to say here, Grievous just jumped onto a Republic capital ship... and is making his way along the exterior to the bridge... where he'll make some Clone Troop soup... yum... Seriously though, I could see him doing something like this.
Anyway, I'll probably go back to Sonic for a while after this, and I'll try to be more efficient in the future, let me know what you all think, and thanks for the support.

Pretty dynamic, and great with the lighting and glares.

Awesome. Though I got one question: How did you do the shine on Grievous's green lightsaber?
I can never seem to be able to get that sort of a shine effect.....>.>

Apply a black Screen Layer over painting. Place a flare on the black layer where the bulb of the saber is. Set black layer to Screen. Alter Color Balance to your liking.

.....*brain dead*
THE OSSIM... I CANT,,, HANDLE IT ALL... NO....
IT BURNS!!!!!!111111!!!!!!
IT'S PERFECT. RIGHT DOWN TO THE DAMN TEXTURE AND SHADING, IT'S PERFECT.
However, I will say this:
The good General's Left leg appears to be raised up a tad to high, unless he's about to stomp the camera

I was going for a stomp motion, considering he is in space.

YEEEEEEEE. I've been waiting for you to put up more art! ^_^
I'm not really up to a 15 page essay long critique... maybe next time I look at this, and my brain will be in the on position. X)
But I will say this: KEEP. THIS. STYLE. It's the best detailing you've done so far, and I thought it was a photo for a second when I looked at it. It really is the best you've done so far. And once you master it, you'll be the greatest artist I know. (Well, you actually were in the first place, but you know. XD)
Oh oh oh! A week ago, one of my dad's workers (I'm not sure if he works for my dad anymore, actually) came over with his son to cut down some trees. While he was working with some other workers, his son, Mike, came inside to hang out with me and lucas. ANd he said he'd bring in a Star Wars game next time he came.
He left it at our house, and we've been playing it ever since. XD
Is Star Wars The Force Unleashed an old game? XD
I love gripping people telepathically. It's so much fun! 
Okay, enough babbling, you've got probably a thousand more comments to check. I won't take up your time. ^^

Oh I am keeping this style, but not without improving it, I made too many mistaks on this pic.

Oh, Joshy. Always looking into the itty bitty details. ^^
It's good though. Just don't let it run you down. Like it's running me down on my wolf project in school. One little detail wrong and I'm thrown off track. XP
But yes, I'm glad you're gonna keep this style. ^^ It's perfect for you.

Ah, I see you've found something you like. You seem to have done better with painting than with cell shading. I'm glad you've something you like to use better. I, personally, have developed my own shading style, and I'm sure you'll find your own in due time ^^ but anyways, ON TO the Critique!
hmm... something about the background doesn't seem right... too many stars/shiny areas etc. The spaceships look just fine, but the red tint kinda goes a bit koo-koo with a lot of things. and if he's going into a republic ship, then there may as well be walls and things to hold air inside, because General grievous is a cyborg. (I know my Star Wars facts 
but, other than a few mishaps with the background, the only thing wrong with the character itself is the tricky anatomy, but that's easily excused, since robots are a PAIN to draw half the time. Just learn to have fun with it and You'll get him down a lot better!
one more piece of advice; make his armor a bit more robotic. Bigger blotches of color would work better than what you already did, making him seem a bit more organic that I thought he was. especially with the face. experiment until you find something that works
so... lesse... I give this little thing 76%(how did I come up with this again?). +fav button click!

I don't get what you're saying. Grievous can survive the vacuum of space, that's why he's walking the exterior of the ship.
Yeah, still working out the bugs, but meh, my next composition will be a lot... softer.

oh... Did not know that. Like I said, I watch the show OCCASIONALLY so I won't know all of the facts. My mistake.
Glad you're working it out. ^^ You're art's already just fine. Pretty soon Ill run out of things to critique on xD

That's the plan. Thanks for the critique.

wow.... to tell the truth he very extremely cool not to mention he is enabled to use 4 lightsabers instead of 2 lightsabers when everything becomes a vulnerability that he is going to lose the battle and when It comes to that situation he will switch gears and convert his 2 arms into 4 arms enabling him to 4 lightsabers at will... Which is of course the main reason that general grievous is very extremely bad ass character the shouldn't of course to be trifled and provoked with, am i right bro, huh bro????

Josh... you've outdone yourself... again.
I have to admit, there's nothing I have against this... beautiful work of art!
