Jaina Solo - SotJ - recolored

Description

Taking some advice from someone who knows how to color much better than me, I recolored my Jaina pic, tying a couple of new things with the tools I use.

I colored her hair to replace that "shiny" look with what I hope looks more like flowing tresses. There's no way I can do that same "brush" stroke effect that photoshop allows, I just don't have those features on my Paint Shop brushes, but I did try to put a little more "grain". Especially for her clothes. I actually added a little more "shine" to her tabard and boots, since they're made out of leather.

And when I colored this pic the first time, I hadn't yet read any of the NJO books, so I was just going by the Japanese covers and it looked like Jaina had a blue saber. However in several NJO books that I've read, Jaina's saber has been described as being violet, and since I don't think it's the same shade of purple she had during her Young Jedi days I figure it's a blue-ish violet, which in fact looks like the color they gave it on the Japanese covers. So I just added a touch of violet to the normal blue glow I use for her saber.

Here is the original colored pic

Just replaced the space backdrop with a better star pattern ;)
