Roy Batty: Year in Review

Roy Batty: Year in Review

I think Roy Batty from "Blade Runner" sums up the year pretty well.

STEP ONE:  Here are some quick digital scribbles indicating the general layout, construction, and color.  This was pretty much the halfway point, give-or-take.

STEP TWO:  Basically, I just used the chalk brush at varying opacities to finish digitally painting the pic, as well as some blending brush to smooth out some of the more obvious brushstrokes.  I also did a rain in a separate layer, then blurred it a few pixels, and moved the opacity down to about 65%.  Oh, and I added some type, of course, with the word balloons just being white-filled circles with the opacity also dropped to 65%.
