KotOR_JLI pencils

Description

Sketch of the KotOR/JLI pic Karacat asked for. It's based off the cover of Justice League International #1, with art by Kevin Maguire.

I scan the pencils in and mess with the levels to turn them blue. It just helps to see them better when I lay down the digital inks on a separate layer.

After that, I'll lay down the flat colors, each on their own layer. Then I'll set the pencils layer to "Multiply" to use as a guide for my shading. Then, I'll discard the pencils and do the highlights. It'll be pretty much done at that point.

Aah, KotOR memories ...

I know you're inking this digitally, but the pencils are very "shallow." Your level treatment seems to have led to losing some detail (i.e. the eyes, Canderous' hairline, Zaalbar's arm). That's going to lend itself to having little variation in the linework unless you do some real wizardry with the ink job.

Still, I like this a lot. You nailed the characters (with the exception of the canonically male Revan ... yes, I'm a nerd), and you did justice to Maguire's original cover. Good job! :)
