Geek Art: Indiana Jones Beat Down

Here's a fantastic work-in-progress piece of Geek Art called Indiana Jones Beat Down, and it was created by artist Jeff Agala. Like all of you, I love the Indiana Jones films... well, maybe not that fourth on as much, but I still love the character. Anyway, I just thought this was a really cool piece, and wanted to share it with you. 

This is a step by step walk through of the piece:

1. Photo reference, screen grab from the movie
2. Thumbnail composition
3. Rough pencils
4. Less-rough pencils
5. Color thumbnail (based off photo) used as a guide for...
6. Flat colors
7. Core shadows
8. Interior shadows
9. Flats & Shadows combined
10. Highlights added
11. Hue adjustments (made it warmer)
12. Crappy background
13. Zoom blurred background with lighting effects
14. Color & lighting adjustments on background
15. Composed layers, paper texture added, airbrush highlights & lighting effect
