Oh, by the way, this is to HanSolo29 , our beloved Mod for this forum: COME BACK! CHEWY MISSES YOU!!!


Haha! Sorry about that, LDU. blush

It's been a busy month for me with school and then I got sick. Things are currently looking up and all I need to do is talk to Pash about a few things. But you should see Han making his return rather soon. wink

As for the art, Lavo, excellent job! applause

Being a member of GAW myself, I am amazed at how well you've captured each of the characters! Putting on that extra twist in your own style really makes this piece shine! Well done! I'm sure everyone involved in the game will be quite pleased with the result! grin

Thanks guys, I've enjoyed the recent work so much, especially the collaboration with you guys at the 'Galaxy at War' thread. A few people have asked me about a colour tutorial so I think I'm going to do a detailed breakdown of my process and post it really soon. Thanks again for all the kind words, they really do mean a lot.

Your bold use of tones here really blows me away.

What do you use for your final rendering for inking and coloring?
-if you don't mind me asking...


HI Gimer

Mostly I use the pen, lasso and (many) layers in Photoshop and InDesign. I'm going to try to post a time-lapse tutorial as soon as I work out the best way to set it up. Is there any specific area of the process you would like to know about?

Lavo
I just got Adobe Illustrator CS3 and it is way different than the earlier versions.
I can't even cut and paste anymore, let alone do any work! (I'm)Such a noob!

Great work, BTW!

I like that first picture of Jabba screaming like a little girl. And the blob creatures. It is very grrrly (yes I know). I agree with the "not everything is solved by lightsaber" mantra too ;P

(your Jedi is instantly likeable, if not on a personality basis because I'm not too big a Jedi person).

Hi Gang

As usual I start this entry complaining that I haven't been able to post anything for ages. If only my job was to draw SW all day, but I guess that's what a lot of us dream of.

I've been getting a few private requests for artwork (apologies to those who are still waiting), as you can see from my previous entry, so here are a couple of recently finished works. The first was a request from 'DARTH GOLLUMSMEAGOL' for a Jedi family photo. It seemed really straight forward until I realised that it included Ben Infarius, his wife Aayla Secura and their baby. The only one of the three I knew was Aayla and if she has blue skin, Ben is white, what colour would their baby be?


The next drawing was for 'MrJop' who asked for a drawing of Jacina. He described very clearly how he wanted her to appear, very much as Luke does on the original poster but with light elements and specific colour changes. For anyone who has read my previous entries you'll know that I often moan about how I'm not happy with my line work, but maybe since I haven't been doing much drawing lately, or because I did it very quickly but I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

Great stuff in here, Lavo! You have a very dynamic comic style, I love it. What a cute little baby you came up with! Great rapore between Ben and the baby, great expressions there. And I really do like your drawing of Jacina!

I just wanted to thank you again for the Jacina image! It's perfect! You helped bring one of my characters to life. The readers of my fanfiction really liked the image as well.
