Artist Dancing_star's Fan Art Gallery -- Photo backgrounds: Luke, Han & Leia. Updated 04/02

Hi everyone. Dancing_star here. I usually hang around the fan fiction boards, but decided to start posting in here as well. I like to use Photoshop for my artwork, so that's what most of my technique will be. I really hope you enjoy it all. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave comments.

To start things off, here's something I made today. Luke's been peeking at the Christmas presents. (or should I say "Lifeday" presents )

And another one that focuses on the friendship between Luke and Han.

This is the same one with the lighting changed. I'm not sure which one I like better.

And here's one with Luke and Leia.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave reviews/comments!

 

Nice work and loved that one with the changed lights, giving it more quality

 

earlybird-obi-wan: Nice work and loved that one with the changed lights, giving it more quality
Thanks!! You're right, it does give it more quality. Thanks for commenting!

HanSolo29: Love the photo manips - very creative! I think the last one of Luke and Leia is my favorite. I love the expressions on both of their faces. Me too!

And that Christmas one featuring Luke will come in handy for the December art challenge.
You're right, it will! I just got it submitted a few minutes ago. Thanks so much for stopping by!!


And here's a new background I made today featuring Luke and Han.

Hi star

Quite the artiste, huh?

Wonderful to be so multi-talented
I guess we can expect stellar art to accompany your nummy updates?

Hmmm. darkest Hours seems to need an uppie LOL

 

This is great stuff. The photos and the text are so carefully chosen. You also show us what a change a subtle change of colouring can do.

 

Jade_eyes:
Aww, thank you!! And artwork along with the updates- a great and very possible idea. Yes, that fic has been neglected for a while, hasn't it? I've got a different one I'm working on currently, so it's temporarily on hold. Thanks so much again!

AzureAngel2:
Thank you. Yeah, it's fun to play with the lighting and coloring of the photos. It can really make a dramatic difference. Thanks for stopping by!

And here's just a little something I made a couple days ago.

These are awesome photo manips! You've made some really great choices, especially with the photo/text coordination. I love that last one: totally applies to Han and Luke's relationship.

Looking forward to seeing more!

 

I love the latest one with Han and Luke. The one with Luke and Leia is funny.

 

I love all of these so much!! The relationship between the trio is my all-time favorite of the entire series. There's just so much love and true friendship. You know they'd do anything for each other - they're a team - and you can see that in these pictures. Fantastic!!

 

You seem to be full of sweet ideas, dear star. All your works should be made into postcards. People would love that a big deal.

 

Idrelle_Miacovani:
Aww, thank you so much!! Yeah, I spend a long time searching for just the right font/text. So glad you enjoyed and again, thank you!!

HanSolo29:
I agree about their friendship. Thank you so much!! I have quite the collection saved on my computer of pics of Han, Leia, and Luke (almost 3000!) I find most of them just scattered over the internet, but a few of them I capture myself from video. Again, thank you so much!

JediFalcon:
Thank you, Falcon!! I think it?s funny too.

JediXManSerenaKenobi:
Aww, thank you so much!! That relationship is my all-time favorite too. You?re right- they?re a family and they?d do anything for each other. Thank you so much!!

AzureAngel:
Aww, why thank you so much!!

Here's just a little collage I quickly made- nothing too fancy. I thought I'd better get something up since I haven't updated since December.

Enjoy! Comments greatly appreciated.


EDIT: And here's one I made for the Valentines Day challenge. Any Photoshop people know how to get the soft light effect without darkening the photo so much (mainly Luke's hair). (I'm no expert- I just play around with the program)
Anyway, enjoy and feel free to leave comments!

I have read the story and they are very good to illustrate the friendship between Han and Luke

 

Do not worry if you are not able to update for a long time. Fact is: we hapily wait for you and your fun work.

 

earlybird-obi-wan:
Thank you, early!

AzureAngel2:
Aww, thank you so much!

Here's some older Photoshop backgrounds I made (haven't made anything new lately). Hope you enjoy!
