Digital painting of a frame from the movie Star Wars episode 1, where Obi-Wan and Jar Jar Binks are standing closely and presumably speaking to each other in a vaguely sci-fi spaceship looking room. It’s blockily painted.

Digital painting of a frame from the movie Project Hail Mary, showing a close up of Rocky bumping his fist with the tiny felt earth in Grace’s hand. It’s very roughly painted, with lots of different textured brushes.
