Hello guys ^^
Finally done :3
After yesterday was a mess, so I could finish it only for today ^^
This is a commission made for one of the SW:TOR players on the forum ^^ Its his character, set in the Sacking of Coruscant. And yes it is Malgus in the background with the defeated Jedi ^^
Tried to totally mimic the scene from the movie more or less, not an exact copy. This is the first drawing I've made such a serious background and surrounding I think
Kinda dark, but I like the feel to it :3
EDIT: Fixed a lot silly mistakes (like I havent finished the other half of the belt
XD) + most importantly fixed how Malgus and the Jedi look in the background :3 More fitting ^^
Let me know what you think ^^
Full work time: about 20-21h
Closeup on the Sith: [link]
WIP reel: [link]

Opens Portal anf finding this Scene. "Oops, worng universe. Im outta here bye bye!". Running lightning fast back through the Portal and closening it while the Sith (on the foreground) and Darth Malgus are looking with confused faces.

I saw your ask for critique in the forums.
I'd say you do rather know what you want and are going for it full pelt, which is great.
But you seem to pay more care and attention to some areas than others. The figures and any area with detail is painted with great passion but then you seem to get a bit fuzzy and lazy in other areas in between. I find the lightsabers and any clothing bits very fuzzy and naive as well as out of focus bits.
If you paint always with a hard edge brush you might have areas with lower detail but the will be less fuzzy. A Painting is not a photograph or game still, it has it's own unique qualities but fuzzy soft areas just look underworked as opposed to low depth of field like they do in a photo or a game.
If you check out arts like this [link] and [link] which both contain areas of low object detail in the backgrounds they both are able to retain the interest even though the detail is elsewhere. One with lots of textured brushes and the other with painty strokes and colour. Two different ways of dealing with the same issue.
Again something like this [link] uses strong colour and texture to 'fill in' the negative space, but not draw your attention away from the characters.
These are all things unique to painting, and what makes it fabulous as opposed to just a recreation of a scene. Make the scene all the better for painting it.

Actually my problem mostly is that I dont really know what the heck to do with the background Since I havent learned how to do them well, I tend to try and draw what I think is good x)
Ok, sometimes taking the easy way out and make it foggy-blurry X)
I always tried to portray the scenes as if they would be out of a movie shot from real life. While true, they could use some sharper lines and tones/highlights
I think the approach of how I solve the things come from the fact that I learned on my own. Some mistakes gone implemented into my routine it seems... Eh x)
Well, all I can do, is to try and fix these up. Never painted before on a canvas (real life) too much, was always a pencil + paper guy xD I think it boils down to composition I think?
Since... painting something blurred some stuff sharp makes the eye wonder on the picture in a way the artist would want to.
I try to do that but seems like I mess up ? xD
Right now, my biggest concern is composition, color use and... well these two mostly.
Ideas ?
Any hint would be welcome ^^
