it may be because i have been drawing for years in macromedia flash, so i know how the tools work.
ps:prod_ : i have an avatar now. thanks! ill try to make the other anim. to size.
The best picture I made with photoshop is this one...it was suppose to be a cross film between star wars and the matrix, characters were all played by me. (please log in to view the image)

believe me...If I didn't have the time...and I almost didn't have the patience lol I wouldn't be able to do it...
the problem with the next pic is...I was fighting a pole where marks were on...I had to hit the marks with the lightsaber prop, but I should not have kept my eyes on the marks. When I did the other character I just had to hit the oposite side of the mark so it looked later like the lightsaber would hit eachother, the pole was than erased after.

Just a suggestion...try to copy the evil Sith eye from the teaser trailer... and paste that one on the evil characters...for the other eye just mirror it.

Here's also a website how to create a lightsaber with photoshop:http://www.bluesfear.com/tutorials/Lightsaber.htm, cause when you cut out a lightsaber, it never looks good. my av is from a promotional pic, I could cut out the costume but not the saber, had to create it myself, here's the full pic of the avatar: (please log in to view the image)
I changed Hayden's face into mine by blending it in...also gave it a Sith eye but you can hardly notice it because the pic is so small, added shadow to the other side of the face to let it look more evil. Lava background added from the teaser, of course when you are in such an environment you have to change the colour of yourself, otherwise it won't look like you are there...
