Zophia poked me to make a thread. I know this will die off quickly, but I guess I could just show off some work in progress, and what I have managed to do by combining MsPaint and GIMP.

The first one is the outline. It is done in MsPaint, since GIMP was acting up.

The next two is the coloured result, both coloured in GIMP (It was acting okay again)
The difference is the outline. The upper one is with the original outline:

With this one I copied the outline and blured it. So the original outline is on top, the next layer is blured, and then the colour come:

The last one here is what I will think of as the conclusion. A gradient layer from GIMP, smudged out and adjusted, again with the smudge tool. The lazy solution, I know.

Work in progress, right? I do not know if I am going to make it any better.

Almost the last scene of Revenge of the Sith. Or rather...The Obnoxious Backhand of the West or something :P

Hmm... I thought his scar went across his nose...?
But looks nice, though a bit blurry. I like the way you did the hair, but the angle of the neck looks somewhat odd.

No, it goes to the top of the nose, though I drew it a little higher than it should be.
The blur is becaue this picture was a lot smaller before - -
Oh, the neck is very odd, think he is turning his back at us...

Random odd eye ness?

Zophia nailed it. Only reason this appears "not cool" is because of the posture...the angle of the neck is pronounced such that it looks like a hunch as opposed to a slouch. Slouches tend to, uh...kyphose as opposed to hunches, which lordose. Uhhh...how to say this...

In a slouch the head may be hanging forward but the shoulders hang back, so you'll see a bit of a backward S forming. Cool is all in the carriage.
