Tess, with a nice halftone coating. Judging from this and the previous R-Type pic, I have a completely simple and reliable toning method now. NOW, I'm excited!!! (Hahah, hasty comment entry at the last possible moment at work. ERASED.)
Photoshop trickery. The main problem has been figuring out what image resolution/size will give me the right look of the tones. Otherwise, most of Photoshop's preset features make it easy to apply.
I don't think that looks like a true screen-tone from the posted picture. You can actually force photoshop to create true screentones if you want. Or are you just going for a "screentone-like" effect?
@Snowpuma: More like "I'm doing what I can do with Photoshop 6.0" Whether it makes "true" screentones or not makes no difference to me, as long as the end result is something I can feel confident about. This pic, I consider a success.
I am an illustrator, based in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
I have five years of working experience in varied roles of the illustration and publishing field. I am the artist, writer, and creator of my original miniseries "The Demon Mages," published by Angry Viking Press, LLC. I have done work-for-hire assignments for Wayforward Technologies, composed music for projects through Majesco Games Inc. and performed design work for other private animation and comic book projects.
From 1998 to 2003, I was a student in the University of Maryland visual arts and animation program. Currently, I am seeking opportunities in completing a bachelor's degree in Business and Marketing.
I volunteer at no cost for any art instruction seminars, lectures or panels, and have hosted events in the DC/MD/VA area and abroad since 2007.

Nifty. Like the tone myself as well. I'm not artist but how exactly was this done if i may ask?
