Description
"He's like a drug for you, Bella." His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun."The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half-smile. "I used to think of you that way, you know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me."
He sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse."
Chapter 26, Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
I've wanted to paint Jake for some time now and here he is
This was like a speed painting for me - it took less than 15h
After some unsuccessful attempts to pain the ocean, I decided to try a tutorial with a lot of filters to achieve this result. It could be found here .
I tried one more tutorial - for the clouds, it could be found here .
Painted in Photoshop with Wacom BAMBOO tablet.
As always, comments, advices and stuff are greatly appreciated!
That'll be my entry for the 's Eclipse contest

Aleeeeeeex!
I... am... speechless...
This is really amazing! I have wanted to draw him but he has a funny nose. It's cute but it's... hard to draw. You totally got it right!
His arm could have been a bit more defined I suppose.
I'm loving the water effect in the background. It must have been hard to get it that way.
Good luck in the contest!

Pixieeeeee! How are ya
Thank you so much! Haha, most of his features were weird for me to paint. But I like how it turned out ^^
Yeah, I suppose the arm's not as good as it could be, there are these veins sticking out and muscle outlines I'm not so proud of
The water effect... it's a combination of filters and perspective distortion. Usually I never do this, I just paint, but in this case... Photoshop does miracles...
Thanks a lot!

I've been good and u?
I don't have PS but I've seen a LOT of stuff that you can do on it. I've seen some other works that are supposed to have water effects but it ends up looking like smoke or something. You did really great on this!
Yea his features are unique! I love his expression tho. AWW~ It makes me want to hug him to comfort him

I know! I've been busy with work and now I can only get online weekends. I usually sneak in here for like 5 mins. during the week so I can't answer to every reply/comment I get.
He is adorable! I can't wait to see Eclipse! I really hope that for Breaking Dawn, they break it into 2 movies. Otherwise there are going to be A LOT of things taken out.
