More pictures of the vignette. I'm not entirely satisfied with some details, but endless retouchs and too much time with the same subject really bores me. Maybe an 'impressionist' style..., but at the moment this is the best I can do. I don't use any kind of (magnifying) lens, so some details, like the eyes of the figure, are just sketched out.
What I was trying to achieve is a look of extreme weathering. Not sure about the result, but I hope you will like the overall work.
I have used no drybrushing at all, only thin washes. For the lights on the figure, I've mixed a bit of ice yellow with the base color, no matter if green, black or flash, doing the last light with a very thinned coat of pure yellow.
All the pictures are handled with my laptop, which screen has a different chromatic effect from my desktop. Not sure if they are too bright or too dark.
The Huey.
A close up of the marine, from unretouched (only resized) pictures of my camera.
Another close up, modified with the Autolevels option of the Photoshop. This is the reason because I don't use such feature, which sometimes literally burns the pictures.
The stand alone vignette...
...and more quick and dirty Photoshop'ed backgrounds.
