This is just a first attempt to unite Obi-Wan Kenobi with my Godzilla figure I have at home - in a light painting experiment. On the fly, just a 40 mintes before going to work...

 

More work required

I certainly will work more with the angles, in order to get the "fangs" on his back to come out better. Alternatively, i could actually work with light painting experiments divided on two or three different frames, and then put them together in Photoshop. Because at the beginning of my light painting, with a normal weak incandescent torch - in which Godzilla's face and backbone fangs came out very well.

Then these got overexposed by the following light from both laser and the white "light brush" from "Ants on a Melon" company (I normally use the black brush, but this time used the white one, which leaks a lot more light, especially at the base).

If i separate / divide certain light elements from each other, i could perhaps balance out the light vs image elements in figures. Well, that's experiments there for. You work, work and work, you test and see what feels right. And see how you could improve or change things.
