*bows humbly to the Master, DarthZemog*  Thank you, DZ, for visiting again! I always love looking thru your thread, at your wonderful characterizations and artistic style, and it's an honor to have your input and comments! 
MasterSareBabe--yeah, I love that picture (meaning the reference photo that I drew from!) of Han and Leia, leaning into each other on Bespin, that heady instant before a kiss!  What better choice for a Valentine's Day drawing? Thanks for stopping by again! 
I'm heading out of town for a few days, so won't be back for a while--a great big Thank You! to everyone who takes time to visit!

I can't believe I've never looked at these before; they're excellent! I really like the "It's worse..." picture. Classic!

My submission for the March Challenge--Vader, trying to seduce Luke to the Dark Side during their battle in ESB. This was a tough one: I had no idea how difficult all the "black" would be to shade! I think it turned out okay, though!

Okay? It's amazing; you captured the moment perfectly. Personally, may favorite type of art (besides digital) is pencil drawings. I love the detail you put into all your work, i.e. the pipes in your latest drawing. You also do highlights very nicely - something that I, quite frankly, am terrible at.

Yes, definitely more than "okay." It looks exactly like a photograph in how you did all the shading. Amazing work, FalconFan!
I'm purposely holding back on this challenge since I've always had a bit of a problem drawing Vader. He always came out looking quite strange. *shrugs*

Wow, when I saw Vader I had to drop to my knees and hold my breath... was I the only one hearing him breathing?

Wow  that Vader is good!
Like Solo said, it looks just like a photograph!
Very nice work! 
One thing that I do notice though, dare I point it out, is that his head seems a little toofar to the left. It makes his right shoulder seen longer than the other. Or maybe thats just me.
Its an amazing drawing though, I truly hope that one day I will eb able to draw like you!
Again, I love the way you shade! It always looks so cool!

That's a great drawing of a great image. Those truncated stumps in the foregroud can't help but remind you that Luke's arm is in a similar condition. Poor Luke.
It looks like you have got more texture in your drawing; have you changed the paper you're working on?

Thanks everyone! You're all so nice!
DVA--yeah, pencil is my exlusive medium right now, and has always been my favorite: easy to use, lots of flexibility (read that as "erasable!") and relatively inexpensive. Thanks for your comments!
HS29--ah, don't be shy! I took a stab at the droideka for Art Class (and I virtually *never* draw mechanical stuff! )--have a go at Vader! As Esira points out, mine has some "proportion problems" too, so it isn't just you! As always, thanks for taking a look and for your kind words!
CeiranHarmony--there you are! Thanks for the kind comments! Is he breathing...?
Esira--yeah, I guess I saw that proportion thing, too, but only after I had gotten halfway through shading his torso--and I didn't want to have to erase all that graphite to fix it! There really is something to be said for putting things aside for a while, then going back to look at them again. With this one, I went straight through, and didn't do the "mirror" thing, either.  Live and learn! And thanks for the honest critique!
I have a nice picture of Ep. II Anakin and Padme that I may take a stab at next--we'll see! Thanks to everyone for stopping in again!

Wow FalconFan, your Vader is amazing!
Excellent job on the shading, especially in detailing his suit and armor! Very well done!

Oh, I sooo know how you feel! I can never bring myself to erase stuff when I spot a mistake! I guess thats the real trick about being an artist, spotting your mistakes early or having the strangth to change them!
But I'm not one to talk, I'm terrible when it comes to spotting my own mistakes!!
Ooh and I can't wait to see the Anakin and Padme one, I'm sure you will do it justice!! Your work is always wonderful to look at!!!

Hmm...you have a point. You just backed me into a corner. Alright, I have a day off tomorrow, so I'll see what I can come up with.

Thanks for having a look, soitscometothis--yeah...poor Luke! As to the "texture" you mention: it may be due to the extensive use of tortillons for blending the graphite in this one. I used the same paper I normally do here, but really did a lot of "scrubbing" with the tortillons, trying to achieve the different levels of black (gray...?), and it may have simply "revealed" a lot more of the paper's texture. That's my theory, anyhow!
DarthZemog--it's such a treat to have you stopping in and taking time to comment! This was a tough one to shade, with all the dark values and the pronounced highlights on parts of the armor--I'm glad it looks good to you! Thanks!
Han--I didn't mean to pressure you, Mme. Moderator! I just so love your work, and I think a Vader by you would be soooo awesome! How about this: If you can get around to it, why don't you try Vader?

After much "reworking," the RPG character I volunteered to draw for bmw17 is done, and I wanted to put it here, so it could be linked, as was requested. This is my first stab at creating a character from purely a written description (a Jedi padawan w/ light brown skin, a lightsaber and a blaster, with a "leadership attitude"--there's quite a bit more, in the request thread). There was quite a bit of "chatting" back and forth with the requester, to get the "details" right--but I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks, too!

FalconFan, you are amazing. I mean, I have so much respect for artists who actually use the traditional mediums (paint, pencil, etc.) but, d00d, you take the cake! You are so extremely and very good!!!
Do you take requests?
