Hi GraphiX, you are in your rights to question the Darth Maul portrait, this remains my best painting to date which is quite a depressing fact given I painted it so long ago now. The details are all indeed painted, and I painted it over the course of a week, everynight after I finished work and then finishing it at the weekend. I sold the painting a few years ago now but recently caught up with the owner, an old friend, via Facebook. I have been unsuccessful in convincing people I actually did paint this since the very day I completed it, it is only until you get up close can you see the brush strokes and I will be getting photos of these details and uploading them to my art website and also my bits an bats pages on Deviantart:

There is a sig in the bottom left hand of the painting but not on the photo of it due to cropping, this was a scan of a photo I took not long after I finished work on it. When I obtain multiple photos of the painting I will have to show them to you, you will see it is indeed a painting. But thankyou, I got lucky with that painting and have since not been able to capture that level of photo-realism, apart from my Hellboy painting (which hangs in my living room, proof of that is easier to obtain
)

Trust me, I am no fraud.
Since discovering TDH, I have learned that it's probably fortunate I haven't attempted a Boba Fett painting, (well, I have a w.i.p, but it's ugly and shall be trashed, it's also lacking accurate details, something I am a stickler for but the reference photo looked ok to me at the time, until I actually learned the various scratches and places of the scratches)
I intend to do a painting of Fett, maybe even several now I have grown in confidence with the details, with a view to releasing the images as Deluxe limited edition prints, each one giving a donation to TDH.
