RE: Basement24's Art - July 9th -- Jango Fett!

Thanks FalconFan! I think this is currently my favourite for more dynamic posing in my works. I'm really glad you enjoyed!
Here's a new one for the challenge, but it's only a portrait since I'm not too familiar with drawing Gungans. I tried a bit of a new colouring method too, which I probably shouldn't have tried on someone with such varying skin tones such as Jar Jar, but in the end, I'm quite happy with it.
I decided, since I haven't seen too many 'normal' Jar Jar or Gungan fan art, to make a portrait that wasn't of him in a bloody pool, or getting hacked by a lightsaber, or what-have-you. Since I met the lead animator for Jar Jar back in college, I have had a certain amount respect for the character after gaining some insight into what makes Jar Jar tick. I still see why people don't like him, but I thought he deserved a nice portrait! Enjoy!

Agh! My eyes! *covers them up and runs away*
Nah, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't want to neglect poor Jar Jar like that....or would I? 
In all seriousness, another great job! I do like the new coloring method you used and the blending works quite well all throughout. And I must applaud you for not using one of Jar Jar's goofy likenesses and choosing one that makes him appear somewhat normal. Nice job all around!

Haha, thanks! Yeah, this one didn't get much attention. I think it is the subject matter I chose. :P
Here's a new one for the August challenge, in the style of the Clone Wars cartoon. It started out as a realistic style, but I didn't like his face, so I went animated and I really enjoy the outcome. I decided to continue with my "No love for Episode I" trend, and also choise young Anakin because most Anakin images are about him turning to the dark side, or slaughtering people, or leading clones. Not that those pictures are bad, I've drawn many myself, but sometimes I think we all forget he was just a little boy on Tatooine once, even if some people wish we'd never known that... :P (Not me, I like all Star Wars, but my friends think that way!)

I can't believe I haven't commented here about Jar-Jar! You know I like this portrait--it gives the character a sort of quiet dignity we never seem to see in him/for him; it's like an official portrait of honor!  And the animated-style Ani is wonderful! Great capture of that brilliant grin we saw when he won that race--I can almost imagine that it's just for Padme, here! Great job!

Aww, isn't he cute? 
I really like the style you've adopted for this piece. The Clone Wars cartoons always had that unique style and you've captured it perfectly with little Ani. The three-quarter view was also a nice choice in terms of presentation. Excellent job!

earlybird-obi-wan - Thank you! I'm glad the CW style came off well, I'm very happy with it.
FalconFan - Thanks as always! Jar Jar officially made it into my portfolio, one of the few SW works I have included in my hard-copy, and I actually have had a lot of similar compliments on him because he's "normal". It seems to be a growing favourite. As for Anakin, I did imagine he was smiling at Padmé, so it's odd that you thought so!
HanSolo29 - Haha, thanks! Yeah, I kept moving the eyes closer to the nose to get him at that 'just right' level of cuteness. I always like knowing that the Dark Lord of the Sith used to be so innocent. I think I'm the only one though... :P
LittleZion - Thank you so much! That's very kind of you to say. Here's hoping that one day, some of my work would be official!
Here's my latest for the newest art challenge -- under the category of depicting something that was mentioned in a movie, but happened off screen. This is Obi-Wan after he fell into that nest of Gundarks we learned about at the beginning of Attack of the Clones. Again, in the Clone Wars style, since it was so fun to put Young Ani in that style. Enjoy!

AAACK!! ROFL!! I absolutely LOVE the look on Obi Wan's face here: "Aw, darn..." ala "Galaxy Quest!" LOL!  Great work on the mood, and I love the CW style for this one, too! And now I know what a gundark really looks like...I don't think I'd be wanting to pull the ears off one, or be near one in any way, shape or form! Great job with this little "off-camera" scene!

Ooo! Very nice, B24!
I have to agree with FF, the look on Obi's face is priceless! And excellent job envisioning the gundarks. I believe they are shown briefly in the original Galactic Battlegrounds game, but this is the first time seeing them up close. Definitely puts a new spin on the quote, " You look strong enough to pull ears off a gundark." Nice job once again!

Thanks everyone! I had a rough idea of the Gundark from Battlegrounds, and I read somewhere about a beard, so this is what I came up with.
Here's my next one for the "Star Wars characters at Halloween" October challenge -- Artoo getting ready for Halloween. I titled it "Delusions of Gradeur", since I also thought maybe it's what R2 was thinking when Luke stowed his saber in him, ready for the assault at Jabba's. Don't know why I didn't do this in the Clone Wars style as well. I might go back and change it, I don't know. Not sure if I like the soft-shading style I did here or not. Anyway, here it is!
