Back to work!!

Hello!
My name is Leah Mangue, I've been an artist most of my life and a professional artist for more than half of my life. I used to post at TF.n quite a bit in the old days. :P Life got in the way but I have been brought back (full-circle!).
I posted this message on my other "official outlets" so excuse me if there is a bit of repetition here.
Lucky doesn't begin to describe how I feel right now. After 30 years it finally happened.
As an artist and a HUGE Star Wars fan it couldn't have been a nicer time to have been invited to participate in an artistic event for Topps' 30th Anniversary of Star Wars collector's card series coming out around mid-June.
I will be drawing 76 sketch cards for the upcoming set. Samples of which, once approved by Lucasfilm, will be posted here (links) for your perusal.
I just received my cards this afternoon so it will take a little time to get the ball rolling, the scans made, the approvals had and then back here.
If any of you have any questions feel free to ask me and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Since I am also working on two other card sets, Marilyn Monroe and Movie Stars for Breygent Marketing, and am still slowly updating Nerf-Herders-Anonymous.net right now please forgive any delays that might be had in replying.
In the meantime I hope everyone enjoys all the celebrations (official and not) of this wonderful year and for those of you attending CIV and CE I will see you there!!
A very happy and official,
Leah Mangue
*wink*
PS - here are a few Star Wars related drawings I've done in the last few years to give you a little heads up before the sketch cards get scanned, etc...
Thanks for coming by!

Welcome to Fan Art, Princess-Leah!
Your artwork is amazing! The detail in the Boga piece is insane! I'm assuming that's a pastel/colored pencil piece? And congrats on your latest gig with the 30th Anniv. Sketch Cards! I can't wait to see them once you get the samples done!

Those are gorgeous, Leah. Your work is so detailed and your character likenesses are excellent, plus I really like your composition technique (I kind of love circles in art - don't know why). Are these done in pastel, or good quality colour pencil?
I hope you'll post more of your work.
edit: I see Han has already asked about pencils/pastels. I type way too slow!

Thank you!
The Boga's one of my favorite creatures in the saga! I very much enjoyed creating her.
All colored pencil. 9x12. It was published in the Star Wars Insider last year , #90.
I can't wait to post the cards!

hehe, that's ok.
Thank you.
I've always loved circles as well, it's a softer look which suits my style.
I use mostly colored pencils (Prismacolors) on the dark paper, but with Bristol Board I tend to throw a little Prismacolor/Copic marker in for depth.
I prefer drawing on a dark background, I feel the contrast is much higher bringing the details out.
I'll post a few more.

Hello Princess-Leah, and allow me to add my belated welcome back to the forum! All I can add to the comments so far is a huge, breathless "WOW!!" Your work is stunningly-beautiful: gorgeous colors, blending and shading--flawless likenesses and wonderful scene/portrait choices (especially loved the Boba Fett piece! That little moment was choice, and went by too quickly in the film! )! Yet another Prismacolor genius in our midst (take a look through Cheveyo's thread here--he's my Prismacolor hero! )--I can't do squat with them... Fantastic work, and the cards will no doubt be just as spectacular--thanks so much for sharing your work here with us, as well!  **bows**

You are both too kind. Thank you so much for that. I try very hard, I love what I do and I would hope that it translates somehow.

Ingrid, YOU'RE the one who is GOOD!!! Not only the dead on likenesses but also how quick a turn-around you have, don't know HOW you do that. *jealous*

Thanks for the welcome back and for more kind comments. I haven't had a whole lot of time to look around here but will try to do so as time allows.
I remember Cheveyo (Brett) very well back from the old days WAAAAY back. Amazing artist, I was in awe back then and am more so now.
Thank you all for coming by and giving me a lot of inspiration!!
I hope that I can live up to the praise.
Happy Mother's Day!!
Leah

Welcome (back) to the fan art board! I don't think you need another voice to the chorus saying how good your art is, but I do want to say I particularly like the Boga piece. I think it looks beter than it did in the movie, hah!

Yay!! Cards!! We're so lucky, to have so many fantastic artists that are doing collector cards to show us their work!! 
The card sheets are fabulous!! I love them all, but the one of Han ("Great shot, Kid!"), Luke and Biggs (such a great composition in that--I'd love to see that one done poster size!), and then Leia, Han and Chewie ("You came in THAT?! You're braver than I thought!" ...love that line!) are my favs! The one of Uncle Owen is great too! AACK!! They're all great! Thanks so much for sharing these here! It's such a treat to see such wonderful artwork!
