Artist Solo29's Art - Updated May 23 (Star Wars Galaxy 6 Returns!)

YAHOOEY!!! Another picture!!!

Aww that is so CUTE!!!! Han's got his famous smile--he looks so... so... happy, nice, sweet... goodness. Leia looks awesome! I have to agree with soits as to why the coloring isn't working as much but I still like it. Coloring skin in photoshop is a pain when its a drawn portrait etc... lol I've tried that and abandoned it soon after

GJ and cant' wait to see more!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
God bless!

I'm with Nidrail on this one This is such an adorable moment you've captured! Well done on the expressions.Very well done. Han's state of disbelief mixed with joy along with Leia's cute little smile directed towards him are perfect! Wow, really - I really like this picture. I don't think I've ever seen a drawing of these two together quite like this. I just love the feeling of pure contentment that it seems to evoke.

You've managed to keep their likeness's intact and there's some fab details in the clothing (Personally love Han's shirt the most). The colouring's good (Leia's got the cutest pink cheeks ever! ), but I think you need some more stronger shading in it - it's mostly very light, the darkest being only on the small area of Leia's side. I think you need more to bring them out a little and balance out with the highlights. Well, that's my two cents on the matter - and from a terrible digital painter at that.

"I started this last night and everything went so smoothly, I got around to finishing it tonight."

...Are you serious? How can you work so flippin' quickly?
*grumbles* I swear you're going to make me cry.

Oh, how wonderful!!!

**melts into puddle**

This is probably one of the moments I wanted to see most, Han!! Brava!! Geez--the look on his face is absolutely perfect: as has already been pointed out, sort of a mixture of stunned wonder and joy--you got it exactly right! And Leia's sweet soft smile is also perfect--just how I would expect her to look! I can't get over the emotional impact of this one--it really gets me warm-and-fuzzy! Suz is so right about the clothing--it looks wonderful (**is jealous**), with all the great folds and drapes--the way Leia's little top skims her body is also lovely--it has a very silky look to it--beautiful! Thank you for showing us this special moment in these characters' lives--I know it's one I really wanted to see, and I also know I can't be alone in that! Beautiful, beautiful work!

Great picture, I like the idea of visualizing things form Star Wars that we never get to actually see.

 

lol. Very cute.

Is the fold around Leia's belly just a fold or is it the baby moving around? For some reason it looks like a bit of action taking place in that area.

 

Aww Expecting is wonderful - I just love the expressions that you captured on each of their faces. Han's hand is wonderful also.

Beautiful work!

 

That is such a sweet scene. I think you did a great job... especially with the coloring. I can't figure out PS to save my life. If you feel frustrated with PS you might want to give Corel Painter a try. You can download it and use it for a month for free: here

I am a complete computer idiot and I have been getting good results with it (or at least I think I am ).

Anyway, fantastic job!

I took a stab at coloring this (in Photoshop). It can be found here. Really isn't that much different from yours, but I like to practice.

 

Really great pieces, HanSolo29, especially of HanSolo

You really do have a gift with the details, it's all really great work

 

I don't know what bad things you have heard, but my guess is that it doesn't have the special effects and editing capabilities of Photoshop. It is made for an artist not somebody who is planning on doing a lot of photomanipulations. But the good thing about Corel Painter is that you can switch back and forth between it and PS if you want to and maintain your layers. They are very compatable. So if you are painting and decide you want to do some editing that can only be done in PS you can simply bring what you are doing in Corel over to PS.

I bought an art book for Corel and the author recommends that you have both programs.

Hey, you have nothing to lose in trying it. The company doesn't require that you buy the program first to try it out. Just try it for a month and after the month ends you would be asked if you want to buy it. Just say no. Say no, because even if you want it you can get it for half price at the various places like the AcademicSuperStore. Since you are a college student you would be eligible for the reduced rate.

I like it and I find it easy to use. That is the key. There is no use having a fantastic program if it is too complex to use.

The realistic feeling of your artwork is great! I especially like the hair

 

YAYAYAYYA!!! New art!!!!
WOW you do a good job with those colored pencils!!! *is jealous*
I think its awesome!!
Is the picture skinnier than it should be? That's my one complaint, the picture appears alittle squashed. But its beautiful, the hair is flowing (as usual) and her eyes are absolutely spectacular!!!!!!

God bless you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

OMG, that looks great! The pastel paper has worked a treat, you've got the skin-tone just right, the hair looks perfect, and you've captured Leia's likeness beautifully.

I'm going to go with Nidrail on the "squashed" aspect of the picture, though - resizing the width from 434 pixels to 510 (remembering to unlock the aspect ratio) sorts it out.

I hope you do more pictures using the same technique, I think it looks beautiful.

 

Oh this is totally gorgeous!! I agree completely with soits: you've done a fabulous job with her likeness (spot-on, I'd say!) and the colors look wonderful! **sighs heavily** "Doodling," she calls it...it's a fabulous work of art: amazing shading, wonderful tones and highlights...

FF

 

Wow! HanSolo29! I love your work! Very deft with the pencil and color pencil, you are! (oops, must have been channeling Yoda there for a second!)

I love the character in Leia's expression. You've really captured something!

 

Awesome job on Leia! This can't be a 'doodle' - it's too good to be a doodle. It looks exact. Toned paper, eh? Wow, it really does have an amazing result (coupled with your talent, of course). Very nice Sepia-like look, and I like that her lips stand out more from the rest of the image. I'm with Soits on this one - I wouldn't mind seeing what else you'd come up with using the same technique!

Fantastic work!

Fantastic Leia portrait, I love it! One of my favourite Leia-looks though, so maybe I'm swayed by that! I'm very impressed by the way you captured the look on her face. Wonderfun stuff!

 

Oh, wow...that's so beautiful... The emotion in this is so powerful--it really hit after I'd looked at it for a moment or two; just the apparent peace of Padme's sleep vs. the rather confused and bewildered look on Leia's face... Both likenesses are wonderful, and the rather stark surroundings emphasizes the emotion. I love this, Han!

FF

 

Well, that is an atmospheric picture! One look at it and you know it's there to tell a story. Really good use of shadow and negative space. I love how you've rendered Padme's face.

Excellent!

 

Wow-- extremely relatable!

Most of my focus centered around Leia in the back. The shadowing you gave it gave the impression that she doesn't want to burst her mom's peaceful bubble; she wants to confess something that would distress mom.

Haven't we all been in that position-- in some incarnation-- before? lol
