Was wanting to do several things: do something entirely in Photoshop, draw, be a Star Wars fangirl, and procrastinate on researching for my term papers.

So here she is: The Sword of the Jedi.

Just a quick update with some colorings since the thread was getting dusty.

I've also got another piece almost finished (just have to add shadows and highlights) and another one to start, so hopefully those will be up sometime soon.

 

This was a coloring I did for a friend on dA. Beckrum's original lineart can be found [link=http://beckrum.deviantart.com/art/Skywalker-Engagement-Holos-69675757]here[/link].

And here's my coloring of it:

I BF!

I like your new pices! I haven't seen that one of Jaina and Jag before! I really like it! All the photos of Mara and Luke look really great too! great job!

 

I love your style of coloring!
I wish there wold be more artwork

-JediNat-

 

loved the colouring and those two were for the 30 year collage?

 

Ooo! New colorings!

J/J look just lovely, Sara! You know I love the way you do those! And your work on ART2-D2's linearts is terrific! And I have to tell you--I hadn't seen Beckrum's "Engagement" piece before...I sat here and blubbered over it before I could type! So pretty, and I love your choice of colors for them--it's a lovely capture of a precious moment in Luke and Mara's life together, and huge kudos to both of you for your contributions to this final work!

FF

 

TOJP: Thanks so much! FF was kind enough to show me the J/J pic she found recently. I was honored to receive the gift.

JediNat: Thanks so much. I do have one more piece that's on my "to color" list. But I need to get some details worked out on it first.

earlybird: Yes, ART2's pieces were for the 30 year collage. Thanks for stopping by.

FalconFan: Thanks so much. Beckrum asked me to color one of her pieces a while ago, and that was the one I loved the most.

 

Hi! I really like your work & would love it if you'd color a piece I did of Jaina Solo! Check out my new thread on the front page called "I am the boiling man..." & let me know! Thanks!!!

 

Three new colorings to share...

Those are awesome!! My favorite is the L/M one -- so realistic

 

These are wonderful, BF!! The Jaina piece for theboilingman looks terrific (I knew you'd do a great job with that! )--I'm sure he's delighted with this! And I just LOVE how you did Luke and Mara...such wonderful warmth in the colors, so suited to the moment (and we both knew the green would be beautiful here, didn't we...? )--I adore her hair... **sigh** The "Fury" piece is really powerful, color-wise--very dark, which the moment was in the story, and full of tension--I especially love Ben here: the hatred in his eyes is perfectly illuminated by that eerie green glow... Beautiful, beautiful work--as always!

FF

 

These really are wonderful (Not that I'ld expect anything else), the Luck-I mean luke and Mara piece is very nice and lifelike. The trio piece adds a nice sense of darkness to the piece for the moment it shows that it lacked somewhat before, and suit reflections really make good accents for the Jaina peice.

 

WOW! I love your L&M one! MUUUUCH better colouring than mine! CONGRATS!

OMG! I just noticed you put Mara in green too! Thats just spooky, I so hadnt seen your version before i made mine! LOL

 

Very nice, Fatty!

So tell me all about your process, I colored a few of FF's art [face_shh] but it didn't come out too good.

 

that photo of luke during lotf was amazing. i really loved it because of the way it was done.

 

Nat: Thank you

FalconFan: Thank you so much. I'm glad you think I can do your amazing work some justice.

Mitth_Fisto: Thank you very much.

Lippy: Thanks! And it is funny that green is the common color. When FF [link=http://falconfan.deviantart.com/art/quot-A-Sweet-Romance-quot-Luke-Mara-80643322]colored it[/link], that's what Mara is wearing, too.

TrulyGhent: Just for you, I'll do my best to get a coloring tutorial up here. Although I'm scared to do it, because if you have Photoshop it's not really that hard, and and I'm kind of embarrassed and scared to show just how little work it takes.

Tatooine_Ghost: Thank you very much.



My artistic goals for this week: Draw Mara for the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/28250191/p1/?8]Art Class thread[/link] and make a coloring tutorial

 

BigFatty

Beauty! Continue in the same spirit.

Bel

 

B E utiful... I love your colorizing...

 

Whoa!
You're amazing, and I really like the L/M one. The shading and everything is perfect, so keep up the great work!!!!

-JediNat-

 

Thank you so much DarthBellumSolo, ART2-D2, and JediNat!

First a series of coloring that were originally drawn by [link=http://rurouni-jedi.deviantart.com/]rurouni-jedi[/link] over on DeviantArt.

Jedi Solo ([link=http://rurouni-jedi.deviantart.com/art/In-Progress-Jaina-75451056]original lineart[/link])

And finally, another coloring of the fabulous FalconFan's work. This is made from her latest update of [link=http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c29/Nilknarf48/LOTF_Tempest_JagFel.jpg]Bounty Hunter Jag[/link].

Hey BF! You know how much I love your colorings, and the way you've handled rurouni-jedi's beautiful linearts is certainly no exception--the colors are fitting, vivid where they need to be, subdued where it fits and the backgrounds just enough to enhance each piece. Brava! I think little Allana is my favorite, though "Tragic Love" comes in a close second--both the Jaina pieces are wonderful, and perfect illustrations of her character!

And WOW on the Jag coloring! I had forgotten that quote from the novel--it would fit very well with this Jag, who really didn't have a lot to live for at this point... Great choice of background color and that jacket really looks great! You always turn a b/w drawing into something much more interesting and intense, and it's like magic! Great, great job!

FF

 

Wow! Your coloring of Falcon's Jag is gorgeous!

I really like the colors on Alanah as well. Beautiful work!

 

Wow so many computer wizzards are around here, enchanting us with their work.

 

The one with Jag is soooooo good. My favorite by far. However, I really like the ones of Allana and her parents. Both pieces are a bit sad.
