Merry Sithmas - Darth Teeth

MERRY SITHMAS
Darth Teeth

Hey, hey, it's time for a Sithmas Card!  This time it is the nameless Sith from "The Acolyte", dubbed Darth Teeth or Smilo Ren (perhaps Darth Dentata?), as the tubing around his mouth looks like teeth when seen from a distance.  Hmmm, I wonder if they will ever give him a "real" name since it appears there won't be a second season to "The Acolyte". 

Always two there are--no more, no less.  So, look forward to another Sithmas Card in a couple days or so.

STEP ONE:  Here are the digital pencils, done in Clip Studio Paint.  It is a 2,00px x 2,791px document at 300dpi.  I used the Symmetry Tool to keep everything, well, mostly symmetrical between the two sides, then turned it off for parts of the helmet and cloak.

STEP TWO:  And here are the digital inks.  They were mostly done with a 15pt digital brush.

STEP THREE:  Here are the colors, done in a variety of layers under the inked layer before the animation lights were applied.  For the animation, three images were imported into Photoshop in the Timeline, and exported as an animated .GIF.

Maybe next year I'll do some genuine animation for the Sithmas Cards.  As always, my dumb brain and mouth writing checks that my hands (and @$$) may not be able to cash.
