Thanks NYCG - That landscape sized one took forever, so I am really pleased that the recipient liked it and that's only made better by the fact others seem to like it too - the time spent on that made me want to avoid my drawing tools at all costs for a while laugh

And hey, welcome back Kiyuuchan! Thanks for the heads up wink Asajj was one of my faves to paint, hadn't done any pieces with her in them for a while, so thought it was about time.

Whoo! It's mini art dump time again.
I have actually been busy doing some things that aren't SW fan art related, but I did get a request so I am going to post that next.

Meelan Lah - A request for Erik-Modi, who asked me to sketch their Yuuzhan Vong OC - She will look a bit different compared to my other YV paintings, as the description should tell you happy PLEASE FULL VIEW! - the small view looks terribe sad

And I know it's not SW, but I have seen one or two other artists around here posting the odd one off original, so here's my two pence wink

Bittersweet

Thanks for everyone's past lovely comments - sorry for not being as active as the rest of you, I really need to get back to browsing these threads!

Hey Blue! Sorry it's been so long for me to get in here and comment--been nutso busy!

I love the YV OC--a very interesting story, that, how she healed from being a Shamed One--there's an redemption by the gods, most certainly! wink I love the colors, the interesting costume and weapon she's holding, and her almost warrior-like appearance (female YV were virtually forbidden from becoming warriors, were they not...?). Very unique, and I'm sure the requester loved your effort here!

The "Bittersweet" piece is very poignant--I agree with some of your dA comments that the splash of bloody red really sets the otherwise monochrome piece off, emphasizing the melancholy posture of the figure, and the soft shadows and light... A lot of emotion coming through there, for not seeing the face...very pretty!

Hope you're having a grand holiday season (if you celebrate, that is!)!

Well hello thar FF! Long time no see indeed, always a pleasure to have your comments on my workness grin And thank you very much, the costume was based on several references to female predators actually lol, the requestee had several ideas of what he wanted her to look like, though some, regretfully, weren't mentioned until the end (please people, if you do request, tell me EVERYTHING before I commit to screen! Trying to rectify issues after flattening an image is extremely hard) he seemed pretty pleased with the end result, so that is the main thing.

The warrior caste was made up of both male and female Yuuzhan Vong, both had equal rights to the best of my knowledge, perhaps you are thinking of shapers? Who were strictly forbidden to take a mate or breed? Hehe - hazzah for heresy! err....I mean...ahem NEXT!

I unfortunately got some very bad news a few days, and will probably be giving the holidays a miss this year sad but I hope you and your family/friends have a great one happy hugs

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much! grin Sadness and mystery was exactly what I was hoping people would see in that image, though it's always fun hearing some different interpretations too - people often surprise me hehe.

The weapon on the Yuuzhan Vong is completely of the requestee's design, can't take credit for thinking that one up i'm afraid! However, I did sketch it, so thanks very much! grin

Thanks very much, i'm glad people like this one, a lot of thought went into it, so it was a bit disappointing when the requestee said "actually I imagined this" sad But if over all he was happy that's cool with me - can't win em all! hehe.

shock Wow, it's been a while! But I am back with some news and some art.
News wise, I am still painting away at a large request for the regulars of the Yuuzhan'tar thread over in the EU section, more on that in a sec, and I am also busy preparing for an exhibition. I would like to display at least one piece of my SW fan art there, so if anyone has any suggestions to throw into the pot, please do speak up! happy

I have also recently gotten my bony mitts on a copy of photoshop CS4, and have been enjoying the new smooth way of drawing freehand with that, so I did a little test piece.



As for the work I have been slaving away over for the Yuuzhan'tar thread, here are a few shots of semi-finished characters, along with a line art layout of how everything is set out for the final piece.

Hi Blue ! Great to see you back with new art ^___^ These are fantastic. I just got CS4 too, it's great ^^
The last one is crazy detailed ! It's an amazing drawing, love the human slave being pulled along, lol ^___^

About the first, did you draw that straight into photoshop ? It's just it's so smooth, and if I try to draw straight in there it all comes out pixelated. Are you using the paintbrush tool ?

Hoo, WEE--what a massive project you've undertaken, my friend! AACK!! But kudos to you for doing it--I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, outlining the way the YV society operated (and yeah--that poor slave/sacrifice, being dragged away...). Very cool, but yes--very challenging! The completed portions look terrific, and it's going to be great fun to see this masterpiece come together (thanks, btw, for sharing the "bits" as you get them done--it's awesome to see how other artists put things together! applause )! Wonderful stuff (and I still adore your use of color... *sigh* grin )!
