Artist The Occasional Art of the not so very good Magelord

Hello everyone! I like to consider myself an amateur artist. I like to draw Starships, Ahsoka Tano, Twi'leks and any Star Wars characters that do not have hair (I can't render hair at all)!
I will post updates here as I make them, I hope everyone enjoys what they see as I consider this my finest work I'm sure things will only go down hill from here.

nice work and seeing how you have to use all those shapes to make a pic.

 

Thank you very much it was definitely a fun but laborious project.

 

You don't give yourself enough credit. I've seen your other works, and they are great.

 

HS29 EDIT: This doesn't belong here. Don't go around posting spam links to other artists' threads. Thanks!

 

HS29 EDIT: Again, no.

 

Wow you've seen some of my work? That's kind of cool. I know my art is ok but in the words of the great Qui Gon Jin "There's always a bigger fish!"
Thanks though I really appreciate your post it made my day.

 

Vader's helmet always looks great with red highlights. Something about it just personifies coolness.

 

I also like the eerie feeling that you created with this helmet.

 

I agree, Red on shiny Black is epic win!

Thank you but I have to give most of the credit to the guy who conceptualized it on the card first. I just kind of reinvented the wheel.

Stunning and WOW that's taking a lot of time. The same is with old fashioned material like oils and pencils

 

Thanks and yeah it is a long time. I lost inspiration on it early in though so that killed the interest for me a bit.

 

I know exactly how it is to lose inspiration, mate, but it returned to me this week. Sometimes it takes longer, but it will eventually come back to you.

 

Oh yeah I quite agree. I think this was the longest dry spell I've ever had though.

a nice twist on the saga and beautiful colours and lights accenting the action

 

Thank you very much. I took the opportunity with this image to play with a thought I had that maybe lightsabers might resort to a single tone of color when penetrating a sufficiently dense and resistant material. Had I developed the story further it would have involved a far more powerful type of saber created for the sole purpose of breaching any possible "solid" defenses that might be in place to protect the Emperor.

...Plus I always wanted to draw the force negating creature on his chair.

 

Wow, all your stuff is amazing! I especially love your ysalamir (though I'm partial to creatures). And I like that you include the breakdown of all the different pieces that go into each work. I would love to see more!

 

Thank you very much I loved drawing the little ysalamir and more on the way!

 

Brilliant ideas realized in fantastic and very skilled ways!

 

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and sorry I didn't respond earlier.
