    Great Update! =D=

    The J/Z is so so so great. I loved it. Thanks for the J/Z.

    *candybar* :D

    Ok my faves Anakin and Padme (adorable!) and Luke and Mara. It's cool to see your older work to compare. But I still love your style, you've gotten better. Luke and Mara with Ben and Luke peeking at him. Sweeeeeeet!

    PadmeLeiaJaina--I saw the Kirstie pic and thought to myself: "That smirk...it's Mara Jade!" I'm so glad you like the L/M stuff. After I finished the first one, the neon colors reminded me of Scooby Doo. I'm glad you liked the A/P and J/K stuff as well. I feel like I really don't do enough prequel stuff...

    JadeLotus--I'm mighta guessed you'd get a kick outa the family portrait piece. It's good to see you here!

    Chilla--I am great, aren't I? (Just smack me upside the head if it swells up too much.)

    FalconFan--I don't think you quite know how much I look forward to your replies. I think I'm addicted...at any rate, I feel like I need to work quickly, 'cause I never know when the mood to draw/color will desert me. As for my coloring style, I do feel as though I have more control. Sometimes though, it still slips outa my hands. The L/M/B one for example. I hadn't originally intended for the colors to be so bright or contrasting. The art, however, just started shaping up that way sometime around the point I got to coloring Mara's hair. After I realized that, I just went with it. Hope to see you again soon, and don't worry, there' won't be any major spoilers in this next post! ^_^

    CeiranHarmony--Thanks! It's kinda funny to think that my style can look so different to me when I'm experimenting on it.

    Kit_Kat--I had fun doing the J/Z. My first coloring experients were actually done with the Jaina n' Zekk stuff, and from that, I figured I could do even more things. *devours candybar*

    Valie--Thanks! I hope that some of the new stuff I'm trying has improved my work and that I will keep getting better. It's kinda funny how I can go and look at my reaallly old stuff, and say "Wow! I can do that same thing now--only so much better!" It's a cool feeling.

    Current theme: The OT! Han, Luke, & Leia

    I don't know when I'll encounter a better time to post this, but this was just rotting away as a sketch on my computer. I've finally given it a coloring job I can enjoy.

    I actually made this wallpaper quite a while ago, but I don't have many places to post it, and it fits the theme:

    You have done some beautiful work, Angel. I especially like the one with Han and Leia in the snow suits and the picture of Luke and Mara.

    Great job, as always!

    Oh very nice!! =D= I love the OT, and these are all just wonderful!! I really like the Luke and Leia ones, but the Han and Leia pieces are my favs of these: you've definitely gotten that "Solo Smirk" down most excellently! ;) It really looks like Han, and it still amazes me that you manage to get such definitive likenesses with such economy--you always capture the facial features that "make" each of the characters/actors and it's never unclear as to who's who! Wonderful!

    I got a good giggle out of "We don't have time for this!"--Ben, tapping his foot and looking at his chrono then glaring at his cousin "smooching" with his "squeeze!" LOL!! How typical would that be for a boy Ben's age? Perfect!

    And the Luke and Mara piece is just great, where she's looking away, sort of pensive, and Luke is gazing at her sort of "puppy-eyed." Just how I imagine it must have been for them at the beginning--him being more aware of his feelings for her than she was of hers for him.

    And the Leia w/p is awesome!! I love the images you used for this, and the way you blended them into the pretty floral background: a softer representation than we usually see of our Princess, and one I like very much! Well done!

    And I wouldn't worry about colors that "pop" in your work--it seems very appropriate to your unique style, and never detracts from the pieces. Keep up the great work!

    Great Job. I liked the J/Tk one the best. [face_love]

    I was wondering if you could do one with all Anakin, Padme, Han, Luke, Mara, Leia, Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, Tahiri, Zekk, and Tenel Ka? I thought that'd make a great Valentines thing {Even though that is a month away, LOL}

    And then you go and outdo yourself with the cuteness! Han and Leia in white is my new fave. Though the one of J/TK kissing is great.

    academygrad88--Thanks! Originally, I wasn't going to post the L/M one, but I had no idea what my next theme would be, so I went ahead anyway.

    Chilla--You're trying to make a bubble outa my swelled head just to see if it can pop...aren't you? :p

    FalconFan--The "Solo Smirk" is the exact reason why I haven't done any Han/Leia pieces until now. Han can be hard to draw. He's older than Luke or Leia and has more lines in his face. By an opposing token, he isn't really old. That being the case, you need to make him look older than L&L, but not old. That's rather difficult. Plus, I didn't have a deffinite idea of what his hair should look like. I mentioned earlier that hair can be the defining characteristic with cartoon characters. Anyway, some difficulties in design intimidated me at first, but then I got over 'em and just started drawing.

    As for Ben, I'm reaallly happy with how he turned out. The characterization was perfect, even though I felt I could have done a better job with matching Jacen and TK's proportions to one another. As for the pic of his parents, I almost thought of putting an asterisk (*) by that peice, 'cause the line-drawing is so incredibly old. I feel like it's been on my computer forever. I remember though, that it started off as a drawing of Mara, and after that, I decided that I needed to throw Luke and R2 in there. I did the whole thing without a reference, and R2 can be VERY tricky to do without a reference...

    The Leia wallpaper is a result of what happens when I go randomly googling for cool Leia/Carrie Fisher pics. I saw those three photos and wanted to see all threee on my desktop. Naturally, I needed to make a wallpaper using all three. I did another paper in a similar style of both Luke and Leia, but it wasn't as good, and I never uploaded it to my photobucket.

    Kit_Kat--I did the J/TK one for the 12_fics challenge over at LJ. Funny thing is, I've posted it in all sorts of places, except there! I have yet to post it where it was originally meant to be posted. As for your request....whooooweeee! That's a tough request. I'm already getting ideas on how to go about it, though. I doubt I'll have it ready by the next post, but I'll definitely try to do it.

    Valie--Glad you like my first foray into H/L. (And this is my first...) I don't usually do Han/Leia stuff, 'cause I like other relationships like bro-sis Luke-Leia or Luke/Mara and draw them instead. As for the J/TK piece, I did it for a challenge involving Jacen and Ben, but hopefully, the mods won't mind if I throw Tenel Ka in there just to spice things up. ^_~

    Did I forget to say how much I loved this batch? Adored Luke and Leia in white. Just heavenly. Wonderful work, and I do love Han.

    Little Ben's expression is priceless, I love the character you've given him.

    And what can I say about Luke/Mara. You know how I feel.

    JadeLotus--I do know how you feel about L/M, so I'll try to come up with some more of that at the next opportunity. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you some on Valentine's day. I just got so busy, that when Feb. 14th came, I didn't even know what day it was till I got out and saw everybody wearing red. I celebrated "Belated Valentines Day" the following day.

    Kit_Kat--Thanks for the up, I haven't forgotten your request! It's just gonna take a while to figure out how to manage that many characters on a single page. I hope you enjoy some of the Solo valentines I've drawn lately...

    Without further adeiu, the Solo brats!

    I love your art, angel! I especially love anything with Jaina and Zekk and Anakin and Padme--thanks for those, they made my day! [face_love]

    The most recent ones are all so adorable, but I especially like the J/TK one. But . . . why is Tahiri wearing shoes? :p Just kidding.

    And your Ben is utterly adorable. I loved that one with Jacen and Tenel Ka kissing--"Fact: we do not have time for this"--ROTFLMAO!!!! [face_laugh] [face_laugh] [face_laugh]

    ShrunkenJedi--Funny thing, I never was much into A/T fics, but I felt momentarily interested after drawing that pic. I just needed to realize how cute they look together...

    JadeLotus--Thanks! And for your sparkling attention-span, you get...an L/M pic!!!

    [image=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v168/angel_gidget/marajadelukesky.jpg]

    SakuraTsukikage--I didn't originally realize who I was drawing until the pic began to take shape. I didn't really think about the fact that Tahiri hates shoes until after the pic was mostly colored. My loop-hole explaination? Tahiri *has* to wear shoes sometimes. Also, she's less of a shoe-hater as she gets older and needs to do more traveling. And if you're into J/Z and A/P...you'll probably like this next drawing.


    Hey, Kit_Kat! I got your request done for ya! Enjoy!

    If you want requests, I'm sure I could think of a few . . . [face_batting] :p.

    Gosh! You really got into the Valentine's Day spirit there, didn't you angel_gidget? :p :D Couples, couples and more couples! I loved the one of Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila especially (and yeah--I think she'd get more tolerant of shoes as time passed, too! ;) )--it really pissed me off that they did away with Anakin... **sighs**

    The one of Jacen and TK was lovely, too, with him just lifting her chin...the poses you use for your subjects are always so natural and so in keeping with your unique style--it's always a visual "dessert" to come here and see what you've been doing!

    The request piece for Kit Kat is just awesome--everyone there, and all so "themselves!" I think my most favorite couple in that was Han and Leia--we've talked before about how you managed to capture that "Solo Smirk" just right for Han, and Leia with her "Hoth Hair" looks so pretty! All of these are just marvelous!

    Kit_Kat--You're welcome! Feel free to challenge me any time...

    SakuraTsukikage--By all means! Challenge away...I'm running out of ideas for themes/topics and would be glad for the help.

    Chilla--Gracias. *hugs* ^_^

    JadeLotus--Note to self: do pic of Luke w/exposed chest...

    FalconFan--I love couples. I love mushy stuff. It can get a little annoying if it isn't done right in fanfic, but there's never too much when it comes to art. Thanks especially for your compliment on my poses. I don't have too much trouble coming up with poses, but it gets tricky when I try to bring them out with my pencil. It's reassuring to have someone tell me that I'm doing a good job. As for the Kit_Kat request, I'm glad you like Han and Leia so much. I was never too big on H/L as far as reading goes, but I'm starting to get into the swing of drawing them and it really is fun. ^_^

    And for those of you who can't get enough...

    Oh pretty! I love the Han & Leia "expecting" picture--how sweet! And the "grinning Anakin" is just perfect--very IC for the brash young man that he was as a padawan! Excellent! These are so great--and yeah, I have to agree that mushy in art is good! lol! Wish I had more time to spend doing some...but outside of that, I can always come to your thread and find a plethora of romantic embraces! =D=
