Very cool! I really have to make it to a convention one of these days... Nice use of McQuarrie's stuff, I don't think I've seen anyone make sketch cards of those designs.

I agree with Lord_Anjok, I love your style, too.

Out of curiosity, how long do you average from concept to completion? I find myself to be rather slow and meticulous and while I think the results are good, it has a negative effect on my total output.

Thanks everyone! I'm really glad that you are enjoying my work.

I just returned last night from Philly so this is the first time I'm having a chance to reply:

I actually work pretty fast compared to some folks. It really just depends. I was an animation major in art school (traditional and Computer) and the first 2 years of it is 80% drawing. and a lot of it is frame by frame stuff. It's long and tiring and I hated it (which is why I'm NOT an animtor now)... but it did give me the ability to crank out work faster.

Wow, these are amazing! applause Lots of fun to peruse. I wish I'd gone to C4 now, just to get a sketch! I particularly liked the Yoda riding a flying Artoo laugh

Well, you don't HAVE to go to a show to get something from me. I do take commissions online, you'd just need to be patient and pay for S&H.

I wanted to start posting the individual pieces that made the print.

First was the preliminary sketch, done on regular paper stock and a col-erase blue pencil:


Second is the finished art, which was done in full color then altered in Photoshop for the grey tone.


Tomorrow I'll post Leia.

Lovely, wonderful! I especially like the Leia one. Great expressions on both of them, but the Leia for some reason looks more like Carrie Fisher to me than the Luke looks like Mark Hammill... I always like charicatures, though, they're my own favorite thing to draw. grin

HA!! applause Love these latest pieces! The one of Han is perfect IC: it makes me wonder, tho--is he asking for two of something...or giving us just two seconds to beat feet before he blasts us?! LOL! wink Leia looks wonderful, and I love Luke's pose here--very much the brash young fighter pilot! **nods** It's also great to see the rough sketches, and then see how you bring them to completion with the colors--thanks for sharing that! Awesome work!

Please excuse the bad digital pic, but here is a commission being picked up at CE next week. It is 18" x 24":



I'll be posting more finished pieces throughout the weekend.
