Artist Jason's Fan Art - Return of the Sketch Cards (4/6/13)

Thanks for all of the comments


_Sublime_Skywalker_ >I'm not planning to redo any of these at a larger scale (any time soon, at least >_> ). I do have some larger pieces in the works, but, I'm kind of on a sketch card kick at the moment.

But you really have talent. I like your bold lines and the way to create shadows.

Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Belated thanks for the comment, AzureAngel2

Here's my latest SW piece:
'Going somewhere, Solo?'

It looks as if you have an extra "http://" in your link. You may want to fix that.

And very nice Greedo! Sketch cards are addictive little things but they can also be a pain with the small space you're given to work with. You filled that space out nicely.

Thanks for the 'head's up' and the comment.

Ha! Great drawing of good ol' Greedo! This is such good timing, as I'm now reading "Millennium Falcon," which delves into the ship's checkered history in much detail--seeing Greedo here, as he corners Solo in the cantina, is a wonderful reminder of those first moments we actually see Han and his trusty 'Falcon for the first time! Great expression (not an easy thing to render on a Rodian face, I would venture! ), and a terrifice likeness! All on such a tiny space--you sketch card artists amaze me, truly!

FF

Thanks, FF

new cards:
"And The Band Played On"
"Single File"

and from the other Lucasfilm franchise...
"Indy's Lost Idol"

Jolly good up-dates. I like your SW things as much as the Indy ones. The lightness of your pencil lines, how good each of them reflects the character that you did.

Hard to pick a favourite though.

Nicely done, Jason! It's always a treat to look at sketch cards.

Out of the new bunch of cards, I really like the Tusken. Nice pose and the cross-hatching helps to convey the rough texture of the robe and mask.

Nice new additions there--I'm especially fond of the cantina musician! You capture these images very cleanly and with a nice economy of line--well done!

FF

Thanks everybody!

Here's another card from that 'other franchise'

and here are my cards for the Blue Line Charity Auction:
Comics For Cures 2009 - DC
Comics For Cures 2009 - Star Wars
Comics For Cures 2009 - Marvel

They look great, Jason! The montage idea wasn't an easy task to undertake on such a small space, but you pulled it off!

It's great to see you contributing to the cause!

Very cool new work--and I'm with our erstwile Moderator--I'm so impressed with anyone that can do work like this on such a small scale (I'd go blind within 10 minutes, trying to cram all of that onto a CARD! lol!)! And kudos on doing some charity work, too--props to you!

FF

Thanks

Two new additions

Utinii!

"At last, we have the mighty Chewbacca."

Great additions! Nice detail work in the Chewie and I love the placement of the Jawa card. It makes things a little more interesting.

I like the boldness of your pencil lines. That makes the figures so vibrant and alive, sparkling with energy.

I agree with both the comments above: very nice framing on the Jawa piece--it gives a wonderful tension to the piece; and the Chewbacca portrait is wonderful (all that fur has to give you dreadful heartburn trying to draw it, tho! lol! )! Your use of crosshatching is very well-done, too! *nodding*

FF

Thanks everybody!

Here's the latest:
Death Squad Commander

I would not like to get killed by that guy. He looks very arrogant and indifferent to his surroundings.

Great skretch!

He almost looks a little sleepy here! Dozin' before the blastin' I suppose! Great work on the helmet--all the divots and scuffs on it are wonderful and tell a story about this soldier's life; his oft-broken nose does the same thing! Wonderful work yet again!

FF

I'm always in awe of people who can work at such miniscule scale... huge respect for that! You do a really great job with the likenesses, and I love how you portray loads of different characters and motives from the SW universe!

Thanks

"Red 2, Standing By..."

Commander Skywalker

Eeee, it's Wedge! They both look great, you did a really good job in capturing their likenesses (and I always find that SO hard with Luke!). Wedge is my favourite though. Nice job at getting him right in the middle of the action, love how you sketched his mouth.
