Author	Topic: The 'Cable Original' Art thread - All-Con art!
BillCable Registered: Jun '01	Date Posted: 7/30/06 3:41pm Subject: RE: The 'Cable Original' Art thread - Droids-style Stormtrooper
	The colors were all done in Photoshop. I scanned in my B&W inks, colored them, then dropped the colored art onto a cardback template. So far I have focused on characters that appeared as Vintage action figures. So Thrawn and Horn would fall outside that set. Each of the cards takes me a ton of time just on the art end, not even counting the assembly (which I'm working on now). So they'll continue coming pretty infrequently. But I'll still be cranking out the B&W art regularly. -----signature----- Bill Cable - Steelers Fan & Star Wars Collector http://CreatureCantina.com Cable is incapable of contributing anything positive to this world - cstoj

	Pretty much everything in this thread is fantastic. That said, the figure backing-cards are just superb. They look authentic in every detail - I can't imagine the amounts of time and effort that went into them. Their eventual owners will be very very lucky people. As for the ink drawings, you have a wonderful talent for 'action' poses - they never look awkward or forced, and I honestly have no idea how you manage that level of detail and shading in ink. Totally awesome, every one, although I think the Anakin/Obi-Wan Mustafar duo are my favourites Keep drawing - I'll definitely be checking this thread!

	Bill your art reminds me a lot of Joe Correny's stuff, very fine character drawings. Those drawings would fit right into any of the books by Del Ray. -----signature----- Your hatred makes you powerful, but pains you.

	Yep... believe it or not, somebody commissioned a piece based on a scene from the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special... Also, I put together my first Droids Stormtrooper. Check it out... -----signature----- Bill Cable - Steelers Fan & Star Wars Collector http://CreatureCantina.com Cable is incapable of contributing anything positive to this world - cstoj

	Hi Bill! And oh, no!! "The SW Holiday Special!?!?" Nuff said on that--now on to the fantastic inking of Chewie! As with each piece you show us, the stipling and shading are just superb--excellent drape to the robe, and a neat "glow" on the orb. The facial features and fur are fabulous (one reason I don't often try drawing our favorite Wookiee...)--what a great piece! And I'm sure your commission was just delighted--I sure would be! The stormtrooper carded figure looks so authentic I would never be able to tell it from its original packaging--seriously, this looks sooooo gooood! I'm not much of a collector, but this just seems like too good a treat: original artwork, that very-cool coin and the figure--an embarrassment of riches! What a great idea! Outstanding job!

	[Yakko Warner]"...That'll leave a mark..."[/Yakko Warner] Gads, I cringed when this one opened up!! So much detail: the muscles, melted clothing, severed limbs...the mouth opened in agony... shudders Wow--very graphic, very poignant, very powerful. Awesome piece!!

	That's an awesome dewback. The one of Vader made me wince in sympathy. You've really captured the agony he's in - both in the pose/expression and in the graphic detail of the shredded clothes and exposed muscle. Ick, but in a good way Good stuff. -----signature----- BeTS Best Author '08 NEW Bad Dreams - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29893091 Eleven Summers - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29657584 Into The Shining Day - http://boards.theforce.net/a/b1/29224914

	Wow!! Awesome dewback!! I just went through all the OT films again, and you've just captured this creature perfectly, right down to its pebbly hide and clawed toes! Just wow!!

	Great Dewback, your style works well. I like the dark detail in the dewbacks scales vs the white armor of the trooper. -----signature----- "But, it was so artistically done."
