I'm
trying to break up the text more in the demo-kit with artwork and
tables, emphasizing the text through both. I've nearly finished the
details on the use of the Persuasion skill, and what better to
represent this skill than an image of the alien character with the
highest influence attribute, the Reln? I decided to alter existing
art and make something original, so I used a combination of resources
to do this. I went online to Shapeways.com, where I have my 3D-print
miniatures available, and loaded up the render for the “Harmless
Reln.” I could rotate him to any angle, so I got what I wanted and
then did a screenshot. I brought that black &white image in to
Photoshop and then colorized it. I also had to add in the eyeballs,
since there weren't any in the sculpt image. Then, I replaced the
torso with the torso from the artwork by John Fell of a Reln.
Finally, I replaced the Reln's left hand with a hand I drew myself,
trying to make it look as similar to John's Reln's right hand as I
could. I did a few touch-up highlights, contrast and lighting
adjustments, and I think I got everything where I want it now. A Reln
with two outstretched hands—guys, he's unarmed, and what he's
saying makes a lot of sense...I think he must be friendly, right? ;)
