Title: The Brightest Star
Name: Jeff Miracola
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

When I started this personal piece of art, I didn't have a clear direction. I didn't do a preliminary sketch, I just start creating shapes in Photoshop. What slowly emerged was this image of Jesus Christ. My friends like to call him "Robot Jesus."

The multi-colored rays eminating from Jesus' head were by far the most time consuming part of this piece. So time consuming that I thought of giving up on the piece a number of times. I'm glad I didn't.

As usual, this was done entirely in Photoshop using vector shapes, the pen tool and a few brushes.

LOL, "Disco Jesus" It's some weird version of Alex Grey and Picasso on acid. I'm still not sure what to think, but it is very interesting. Happy painting Mr. Miracola!

VERY cool looking! I like it.

crit:
The only thing I think that could be improved is the planet. It looks unfinished compared to the rest of the illustration. I don't know what could be done, but it appears as if it needs more attention. ?
