painted the lighting on with exposure adjustment layers. I also used a color balance layer on only the character to ad magenta to the high lights imitating the color style of the old photos giving it the effect i wanted.
The flat colors came from the original mvc2 photo of cyclops i use some of the brighter tones for each color flat because i knew it would look darker under the shadows and filters.
cleaned up rough pencils done all digital. decided not to ink it because i was going for a more painted look.
