OSL on Emperor Palpatine

By Smashotron, in Imperial Assault Painting and Modification

Hello all!

I am hoping to use object source lighting on Emperor Palpatine to create the illusion of lighting coming from his fingertips. Unfortunately I have never tried OSL (my lightsabers look terrible) and I cannot find a good reference to help me through the process. I imagine I will need to use OSL on the whole front of his body but I'm struggling on how to make the hands/fingertips look like the source of the lightning.

Has anyone found any good references or have any advice for tackling this project? Thanks!

Edit: Here is my Palp WIP as it stands
