For those of you who haven't read DUNE, (both of you), Dr Yueh is ...

[EDIT - DAMN! Sorry, I just ruined the story for a bunch of people... oops. ]

Been checking out Rembrandt's work at the local gallery. Trying to learn bits and bobs about how he (and his students) worked. I've probably made 1% progress so far...

A few self crits:
Anatomy innacurate.
Bad composition (the bird in the background was probably a bad idea)

Awesome man, great job =D Hmm your right though... needs to be a bit brighter =D great job though.. gives a nice painted effect.

i dont mind the darkness...most of rembrants work was usually quite dark.

his red sash is a bit too powering, perhaps tone it to the clouds in the backgound?

Hehe, thanks for the crits. I've updated the picture.

Just found out that my monitor's gamma is somewhat brighter than normal... hence everyone else would've doubtless been viewing a black rectangle...

Does anyone have a program / URL where I can check my monitor's gamma is 'correct'?

Woo.. chiaroscuro baby! Nice work! Although I'm having a hard time pinpointing the lightsouce, almost directly infront of him and above his eyeline? The light/dark shadows work real well but they dont seem to be consistent with whatever lightsource it is?

Great work though, I like the background colors, the bird is a bit distracting though maybe. Oh and thanks for ruining the beginning of Dune for me!
