It's been a while since I've touched my thread.angel_gidget, TroubledAnakin , HanSolo29: thanks guys for the kind words, they are appreciated.
Darth_ArsnL has coloured my Duel stencil design here
I think his colouring job has a very cool '60's feel to it. Thanks again Darth.
Here is some work-in-progress for R_Zion:

I haven't been very active here for awhile as my job keeps me out of state a lot. I just had to take a moment to gush about the artwork in this thread. Truly amazing. The level of skill seen here is hard to match. Anyone who has been working at being an artist for any significant length of time can see the mastery in even the simplest of sketches here. Your work should be in books, not fan threads. Plus,you're just one really nice person.

greyjedi125, thanks, always nice to hear from another comic-book influenced artist - we all tend to be into figure drawing.
THEFORCE16, hey, I was wondering where you had got to. Thank you for saying such nice things, especially as your own work is so beautiful. I remember when you, FalconFan, and I were the new kids in the forum; now this place gets a new talent every day. Where does the time go? Hmmn, I think it's time someone upped your thread...
DarthQuellonis, thanks!

Lovely sketches! You're very talented with figure work. What I'm most impressed with is how you've given this robot a human-like quality to it's posture. You can really see the progress in your work, as it's coming along quite nicely.

keep up the good work ^_^

I found it! I remembered this thread from my first visit though I am afraid that I had forgotten whom it belonged to. Now I know!
Will we see anymore soon?

Hi Zonoma. I've been dragging my feet a little on the droid pic for R_Zion, and I wasn't going to post anything until I had finished it. However, now that I'm here replying to you...
This is one of my own attempts at doing something with my Duel stencil. It didn't really work like I wanted it to, none of the stencil attempts did, but it is kind of interesting, if a little sloppy.
This is a more heavily inked version of the droid that I'm still trying to colour.
This is a small scan of a Qui-Gon picture which I'm still trying to make better.
This is a scan of an Anakin picture that went pretty well (this one was my fifth attempt), I'm still thinking of doing more with it.
I traced the faces for both the Qui-Gon and Anakin pictures, I'm really not good at likenesses freehand.
You will probably need to fiddle with the gamma values to get these guys looking right on your own monitor, mine tends to be kind of dark.

I can't believe I missed so much work in here, soits!! You're always so great about checking out everyone else's stuff, and here I go, missing two updates in here!
**bows humbly in apology**
Forgive my tardiness!
I totally love your droid work for R_Zion!! She looks awesome, and the inked version looks better still--her pose is so identifiably "feminine," and the wonderful light and dark values really make her pop off the page! Yes, she'll look awesome colored--but I rather like her just like this! Beautiful work--and thanks for sharing the "studies" of her in concept--it's always so cool to see (and you're so good about putting up that work, too! )!
And the paintings...
**swoons**
I won't scold you again (and again and again) for tracing the likenesses (and you are far better at capturing them than you believe, my friend!)--the colors, shading and values here are just gorgeous... I so love the colors you tend to favor for these masterpieces: the warm earth-toned hues lend themselves so beautifully to the work, and you use them so well. Qui Gon's eyes just pulled me in...they look so real... Just gorgeous. And Anakin is going to turn out just as beautifully, I can tell--the quick dashes of color and texture in the hair are only the beginning to what I know will turn out to be a lush effect. Your use of light for these is so rich...I don't even know how to describe it! "Beautiful" seems so inadequate!
Gorgeous work, soits--it's such a joy to find some more of your wonderful paintings here! Thanks for sharing them!
**goes back to swooning over Qui Gon**

First of all: Thank you for updating! Thank you! and thank YOU!
My favorite by far 9of this set) is the Qui Gon. I love the "feeling" of your paintings. They have an almost otherworldly glow about them, can you tell us about your materials and technique?

FalconFan, thank you for your kind words. Incidentally, I inked the droid drawing with a brush-pen, worth trying if you are experimenting with comic-book style inking (I doubt that you are, but someone reading this might be).
And Anakin is going to turn out just as beautifully, I can tell--the quick dashes of color and texture in the hair are only the beginning to what I know will turn out to be a lush effect
 Yeah, I can take the hint - I do need to finish the hair. Never realy like doing hair, it's so anoyingly complicated.
Hi, Mustafear. Thanks for saying you like the Qui-Gon image, it's actually kind of a sloppy painting, which is why I made a smaller scan of it. As for materials, I tend to use everything I have to hand: mainly watercolours, with some acrylic, colour pencil, glue, gesso, acrylic ink, and some digital tweeking where needed. Most of the paintings are thrown together, and as things go wrong I panic and start using whatever materials come to hand to try to patch things up. Nearly all of them look better on screen than in real-life.

"Most of the paintings are thrown together, and as things go wrong I panic and start using whatever materials come to hand to try to patch things up."
If the most recent posts are "things thrown together and going wrong," then I'm signing up for "going wrong" lessons from you, soits! Your work is stunning, in some very difficult media, and I can only dream about getting results like yours! You're extremely talented, and I truly admire your work!

The droid is finally finished:
Droid
I edge enhanced this picture a lot because it tends to help make things look sharper and more metalic.

Awesome!!!! 
What a superb piece of art, soits!!! My jaw hit the floor when this popped up, and I may be looking for it for a long while...
The detailing is astounding!! The metal surfaces are so tactile, so realistic that it's almost like a photograph, with the exception of the dark outlines of her form...
The lighting and shading here are spectacular, on her and on the background--and all that stipling!! Your hand must be dead!! I totally love the little splashes of color--perfect for an accenting effect--she just looks amazing, and completely at home in the environment you've created for her! I'm...running out of words again, blast it!!  R_Zion has to be in joyful tears over this--she's fabulous!! I could never in a million years do justice to a droid like this--just amazing!
