Frank's Sketchbook Entry of the Day

Someone mentioned the idea of the difficulties a Jedi Knight would have, if he was colorblind—in particular red-green. I found that quite amusing and decided to run with it. I did a quick sketch in Photoshop, inking in Illustrator, then back to Photoshop for coloring and shading. I was going to add a speech balloon, but all he'd be saying is "Ooops, sorry" or something like that, and the Sith Lords in the background would simply be baffled with question marks over their heads. Then I decided that that wouldn't really add much and, I hope, it stands on its own. I produced this in about a day and used some online images for inspiration.

Oh, two technical points. First, I decided I should try to put in some sort of background that would be a little bit interesting. This one was easy, but is better than nothing, so I'm happy with it. Second, there are a bunch of online tutorials on how to make the light saber effect in Photoshop. The gist is using the "outer glow" effect on a layer, and doing some messing around with stuff. I think that worked out decently.
