I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I think I captured Grand Moff Tarkin's likeness exceptionally well. Enjoy!

Oh, I just hate it when I miss an update in one of my favorite threads!! frustrated !!

I am blown away once again, Bill: your expertise with pen-and-ink are truly amazing! I just love Dash Rendar--the fantastic detailing in the shading and costuming are awesome! I particularly love the "quilted" effect on the back and backs of the thighs (I'm assuming it's for some type of G-reduction effect while in flight...?), and the plating on his armor. And Tarkin is indeed a very good likeness: you've captured not only his gaunt and malevolent glower, but the pronounced wrinkling in his face and hands. The stipling on the uniform must have taken hours and hours, it's so intricate and precise! Two fantastic additions to your gallery, here Bill--thanks for sharing them! grin

Nice! happy Tarkin is a personal favourite of mine (loved the actor even before I knew him as Tarkin for all of his horror work) and you've done an amazing job. Your style with those wrinkles, famous cheekbones and hands all lend so well to his menacing character, great work! grin

Wow!!! This is one fabulous Clonetrooper, Bill!! I just love his pose--almost disarming, in a way...if you don't look at that honkin' blaster rifle in his hands, lol! Gorgeous detailing, as always, in the armor--I just love the way you render reflections with the stark black-and-white of pen-and-ink--it's just so d**ned cool! cool Very cool with the stipling for the colored spots, too (geez, that has to take you hours and hours...). What a great piece! applause

It's hard to believe, but somebody actually commissioned a Gaff drawing! Gotta love those UDEs! Maybe somebody else will go for Admiral Screed one day.

..."Gaff"...?
thinking wink

Another outstanding piece for your gallery here, Bill! I'm unfamiliar with the character, but I really like the drawing: as always, fabulous work with the drapery/cape (it always looks like real fabric, moving in a real way--gorgeous!) This is very obviously an instectoid species, with all the barbs and the sectioned body--where was this species introduced...? Probably in a book I should have read already, lol! Love the work, tho--you always impress with your pen-and-ink skills!
applause

Actually, Gaff was from the Droids cartoon, believe it or not.

http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/gaff/

He was one of the 2nd series of Vintage Droids cartoon figures that never got past the prototype stage, so he has something of a following for that reason. If you can find an authentic Gaff prototype it'd be worth more than $3000.

You know what I don't like about looking at work as good as yours? I run out of compliments, and ways of saying how great it is. tongue

OMG!! The Snowtrooper is just great, Bill--there's a real feeling of him slogging through that hip-deep snow there, trying to keep his weapon out of the wet stuff--wonderful detailing, as usual! And Kit Fisto? Awesome!!! The pose, the sense of movement and action, and the great low perspective are all superb! Whoever commissioned this piece has to be doing handsprings about now! Stunning work! applause
