Excellent Work! How long does it take you to finish a typical drawing?

I can usually turn one out in about 2 or 3 days, working 2 or 3 hours a day. Some take longer than others. The trick is finding the free time.

Cable, your work gets better and better! I'd like to offically request a drawing pf Plo Koon, to possibly use for future projects. I already have a outstanding artist doing one. But the more the merrier. I will most likely use his in future works but would love to see one by you.

Unfortunately, I've already done a Plo Koon... a long time ago...



Man... hard to believe that was 5 years ago! It's stunning to see just how much my art has changed (for the better IMHO).

Geez-Looeez, Bill--these are both fantastic!! applause
I really, really like the Sidious piece: the dynamic quality of the movement, and the intricate detail in both his face and his robes is just lucious! Your work is so awesome--I always love to see something new! And as for Plo Koon--he looks marvelous, too--the outstretched hand, reaching for the floating lightsaber is a wonderful perspective! Kudos, once again!

I wanted to share my latest. This one was done for one of the reporters over on RebelScum. He posted an article about it, and I've just been burried in requests the past 24 hours. "Ah... me public!"

Interesting perspective, and I love all the different techniques you use for pen shading in one image. The stipling, crosshatching, and areas of dark line... it really makes your art pop.

Five years, huh? That's pretty amazing that you've been doing this art for so long and kept at it with an impressive amount of dedication.

Again i'm astounded by the quality of art in these boards! Especially the artist's skills with inking. Congrats on a gorgeous collection of work here, i'm sure you are very proud. happy Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see these wonderful pieces. I like your grasp of dynamic poses and mixture of graphic styles. Really nice. Do you colour your own work or do you have a colourist that you use?

Would like to see more in the near future for sure! grin

EDIT: Oh and I loved your interpretation of the Yuuzhan Vong! happy You don't see many pics of them about and it was nice to find one in here.

I pencil & ink my own work... no really "coloring," but you probably meant inking. The only color I do is some photoshop work I do on some custom carded figures.

I've been doing these since 1997, so it'll be EIGHT years this fall. It's hard to believe it's been that long, and amazing to see just how far my art has progressed.

I came across all your artwork b-4 I saw this post, I forgot how, I think in google, but it led me to your site. I've seen all your work, the composition and shading are imaculate. You have perfect likenesses but still show off your style in your work. Please for our sake keep posting lol.

Sheesh, what a perspective on the Magnaguard! I'm going to steal a phrase from C3PO:
"We're doomed...!!!" That's exactly what it looks like here: the guard is airborne, and about to skewer us with that staff---AAAGGHHH! What a great action pose, and as usual, the details are just fabulous! I just love the cape, with the billowing effect--perfect! Great, great piece, Bill!
