    h'lo all. i'm kinda new here despite the fact that i think i registered in 2005... but anyways here's a mara jade piece my husband & i did for 1 of our friends, jedi trace, of the memphis based starwars fanclub, suspicious mind trick.

    forgive me, i don't really remember my husband screenname on here, but i think it's darth martheus / martheus. but he's the penciller. i did the inks. & i started working on the colors last nite. i'll post up the final piece later on. enjoy!

    I love it, Janet!

    And for those who don't know, Janet's husband Antone (who should start his own thread here, also!!!) did this drawing that got picked up almost immediately for an icon, it's so cool.

    That is just incredibly SWEEEEEEEET! Great artwork as always from Antone and Janet Wade!

    Y'all need to check out their comic book "Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa" on their site www.toshigawa.com. That book rocks out loud. (And the new issue just came out this past Wednesday!)

    And be sure to stop by their booth at San Diego ComiCon at the end of the month.

    Anybody have a link to the full-sized Anakin picture that they did a couple of years ago? We need to re-post that one here.

    First of all, welcome to Fan Art! It's great to have you here! :D

    WOW! Excellent drawing you have there! I know you mentioned you're only responsible for the inks so far, but it's professional quality all around! You and Antone should be very proud of your accomplishments! A very nice tribute to the late Mara Jade! I cannot wait to see what the final piece has in store for us! ;)

    You think that's professional quality, check out their comic. I've been a fan of Jetta since I first picked it up. (So much so that I made their first music video, and will be working on their next one soon.)

    One thing's for sure... I can't wait until that one's hanging on our wall at home. It's good to be married to Trace.

    [face_hypnotized] That's wonderful work, both penciling and inking. Very polished and professional, very clean lines. I love good figure work, and that's simply perfect.

    Welcome to the forum.

    She's beautiful! I love everything about it - the 'tude, the stance, the weapons, the suit, the hair. Just perfect! And, I'm no artist, but I really like her arms, lol. Defined but not too bulked-up. :cool:

    Thank you so much, y'all! Can't wait to see the color version.

    (and YAY for finally starting a thread here. wOOt!)

    Welcome to Fanarts! [:D]

    And wow, Mara looks awesome! [face_love] She's very pretty.
    I'm quite fond of her gun, too. :D

    Will there be more art from you? [face_batting]

    I'm glad you guys like the Mara Jade. I am very nervous about placing art on the boards. I have had some bad experiences in the past. But I am a huge fan of Star Wars and my friends, Tim, Trace, and Rhonda talked me and Janet into posting more on the site. Thanks guys. I hope you like the finished art when we post it. In the meantime I have these to show of some of my older stuff.

    This was a quick character study of Aayla Secura walking. It was going to be part of something else. But I went back to the drawing board not happy with it. I want to finish the real peice since I am a fan of Aayla's.

    Rhonda posted this one before. This is my alternate universe Vader. lol.
    Man, I wish this would have happened.

    Alternate Vader is great! I love the style. The japor snippet for his cape clasp is a great touch!

    I love those two pictures, Antone!! Do you still have the Anakin/Vader pencil you did for me? I do if you don't. You should post it, too. :)

    Love the AU Anakin/Vader! That is SO how it should have been.

    And Aayla - wow! :cool: I'd love to see her finished and colored. ;)

    Whoosh! Mara has meat on them bones.

    I wouldn't imagine why you'd get negative feedback (unless it's something about how women are portrayed comic book style .__.)...

    Wonderful, stuff!

    I agree that the alternate Vader/Anakin is really amazing and the little details - I love it! It makes me wish this is the route they went in the films. It's so befitting of Anakin. Nice job!

    Thanks for the comps.
    I played the Episode 3 game just for the special ending with Vader winning against Obi-wan. That made my day.
    We will be out at San Diego comic con next week. If anyone is out there come out and see us. We will be at booth 2002.

    That is very nice, but can I suggest that you make the gun a different color than her glove. It is hard to see what she is holding. Perhaps a silver blaster or at least put more highlights on the black blaster so you can see where her glove starts and the blaster begins.

    That's GORGEOUS!!! [face_love]

    I really like the shading (is that the right word?) - how it looks like it's not-quite-daylight and the moon, perhaps, is reflecting off her skin and blaster. Love the hair color! It just pops against that blue background. And I really like the alien-ness of the setting - like she could be on Mustafar or an exotic GFFA system kicking ass and taking names. :cool:

    Just awesome! [:D]

    Wow. I love the way you guys blended the colors! That is amazing. And the hair... I love the lighter outline of orange against the red and the subtle shading at the roots. Even the shine on the lips and the reflection of light in her eyes and on her glove. And the lightsaber is beautiful, also.

    Edit: I hope one of the icon makers find this. Is it okay to use for an icon? [face_praying]
