I felt like sharing some artwork I'm quite proud of, and I'd appreciate any feedback....

---------

A long time ago, in a DIFFERENT galaxy, far far away...

Imagine if Leia had grown up on Tatooine under the care of Owen and Beru Lars, as a feisty farmgirl named Leia Skywalker who befriends and eventually falls in love with a handsome young pilot named Biggs Darklighter.

And then there's the dashing young Prince Luke Organa of Alderaan, commander of the Alderaani Fleet and one of the brave leaders of the Rebel Alliance.

Destiny will bring them all together as the rebels confront the Empire and Leia Skywalker learns the ways of the Force. It's the story of a prince, a farmgirl, and a universe....

I like the idea as well. Trying to imagine Leia in Luke's shoes is interesting to say the least. The technique you used to color is awesome as is the drawing itself. How come you didn't draw Darth Vader? Just curious. grin Good job.

And... I want Leia's outfit. >>

Welcome, ShabbyBlue! happy

Very interesting concept, indeed. The composition and the overall "flow" of the piece immediately caught my attention. You did a nice job setting this up as a movie poster. It definitely sells. Your technique and drawing skills also shine here. Excellent likenesses on Luke, Leia and even Biggs. The only part that I get a little caught up on is Obi-Wan's "floating" head over there on the left. Maybe finding a way to anchor him to the rest of the composition would help it along? I don't know. It's really not a big deal considering how well done the rest of the piece is. And now that I look at it further, you've done an awesome job mirroring the Death Star and the Tatooine scene down in the corner. So, yea...ignore what I just said. tongue

Onto the concept - wow! We would definitely be in for a different ride if this were the version of SW that was released. Luke, Leia and Biggs rounding out the Big Three? Interesting indeed. Of course, I'm partial to Han, so you automatically get a bad review from me for not including him. tongue

Nah, just kidding around. This is some great stuff! Nice job! applause

Hello ShabbyBlue, and welcome to Fan Art! VERY cool poster--and an intriguing idea, too! I love the idea: I wonder if Leia would have been a better student than Luke...? thinking wink And I wonder if Luke might have been a rabble-rouser in the Senate (...perhaps marked by the Emperor for "elimination" at an early stage! wink )?

I love the likenesses, and how you've imparted the opposite characteristics to the twins (ie., made Leia the high-spirited rural girl [she reminds me of Jane Russel, somehow...]--and given Luke a very slick, politician-style appearance)--great job, that! Overall, a wonderful piece--well-balanced, and representing a very cool idea! Bravo!

And lol at HanSolo29: "Of course, I'm partial to Han, so you automatically get a bad review from me for not including him." laugh wink Again--welcome!!

The style and the colors look like one of those old movie posters, good job! ^^

But Leia, by my opinion, looks like the easy girl of the village... ok she's supposed to have rural clothes, but is she supposed to look like a girl who just have been...hmm... accosted by a random guy in the street? rolling_eyes

Changed at birth doesn't mean that the character of Leia changed. In the movie she's not the kind of girl to show herself like this, and neither does Luke.

I know you like sexy girls but I think it's not like Leia at all, sorry. Even if she lived on Tatooine.

Concept is excellent as always Shabby!

Great job, Shabby.

>>mMathab: It's not a question about being a girl or not, it was the "fan of Star wars" who was speaking wink

Just my opinion. It's good to see different opinions on a thread, not only worshiping ^^

Wow, Leia looks so much hotter as a Jedi!


A while back I started a Round Robin with the story of reversal roles, lots of people added to the story but the thread kind of died just before the Battle of Yavin. sad cry

I absolutely love this poster!

And while I kinda agree that Leia is looking a little naughty farmgirl, it really isn't that far removed from this . . . .

Though I am a little surprised there's not a litte more indignation about the lack of abdominal cleavage from Luke, lol.

I like how shiny comic book they look. Hm, Luke has that Thrawn vibe.

Hmm, strange. I saw this one a while ago and thought I commented on it, must have forgotten; which is even stranger since this is such a awesome poster. I think both Leia and Luke look much cooler like this than their 'normal' version. Really great job dancing I love the switched-concept, I think it might've been more interesting than the real movie.

Actually I'm not sure about this. If Leia hadn't have grown up with Bail Organa and didn't recieve the discipline she'd had with being royality, would she have been like how she was in the movie? She may or may not have, one never knows. But its fun to imagine. *Shrug* Just my take on things.

And this gives me a reason to check out your awesome poster. XD
