Excellent drawing!

Once again, you have some very intricate cross-hatching going on there and it only adds to the quality and work put into it. I also like how you included the shadow of the rancor's claw behind her. Classic. happy

Wow! Great depiction! I agree with our mod: the rancor claw (and assorted skeleton parts!) make the "mood" of the piece! Beautiful work!

I agree with FF. The mood is impeccable. happy

My favorite is the Quarren, though. I haven't gotten the hang of those guys and you nailed him. grin


EDIT: You drew that for the actor?! shock Wow.... Truly amazing. [face_reverence]

You have great composition, your pics are very well thought out.

The Oola pic is awesome, very powerful yet done very subtly.

great stuff

I've always been better at aliens than humans. So any chance I get to draw one I make the most of. For Squidhead, I was approached by Todd Carlton, who was organizing the All-Con convention in Dallas where Gerald Home would be signing. He wanted it for Mr. Home as a gift. And Mr. Home just adored the thing. It went over so well that it looks like I might get the chance to do some for a few of next year's guests. And I really can't wait!

It's Walrusman. Enjoy!

Yeah, I did it with one of those pens that have a metal nib that you dip into ink. I'm sure there's a technical name for it... maybe it is "pen"... but I always think of a Bic or a marker when someone says that.

shock applause Awesome work, Bill! I just can't get over how detailed your stippling is, and how perfect your proportions are in every one of these! You're giving this away?! You should make it into lithographs and sell them at Amazon.com! Beautiful work--I especially like the effect of it being just a split-second after Obi Wan cuts him with his lightsaber--the wound is there, but the separation hasn't yet occurred... Just great!!

In fairness, I'm giving it away to generate some interest in people commissioning future works. And it seems to be working. I've already been contacted by 3 people about reserving some characters.

About the lithographs... I'd love to do that! But then LucasFilm would come calling and and suing... so I don't think I'm gonna do that. wink

Ouch. That definitely had to hurt. I think that single wound alone really makes the drawing. It adds character to it. Not to mention the pen work gives it a professional quality. I love it! grin
