Wow, congratulations!! I'm so happy for you

Those pieces are lovely!! I especially like the bright colors

 

Thanks guys! I'm glad you liked those two!


I have some more "Solo Moments" illustrations to share, this time with just Han and Leia Solo and the kids. Here's Han and Jaina playing in "Small Joys":

And I wanted to share another non-SW piece, because I really quite like this one. It's a warrior woman:
[image=http://th01.deviantart.net/fs71/150/f/2011/174/b/6/warrior_woman_by_svenjaliv-d3jr865.png]
[link=http://svenjaliv.deviantart.com/art/Warrior-Woman-214581533](click here for full view)[/link]

She's drawn entirely from imagination, but I used a photo as a reference for the background - I took it in the Wicklow Mountains last summer. I wanted to keep the palette very limited and it worked pretty well. Her clothes were my favourite part to work on.

I hope you like these. There'll be more illustrations coming soon!

 

Love the warrior woman and the Solo kids cute and adorable

 

Thank you very much!

Some of you might already have seen this, but I'll say it here anyway - I started a [link=http://boards.theforce.net/fan_fiction_resource/b10304/31806559/]fanfic cover thread[/link] over in the Fanfic Resource forum, for people to request covers from me or show off the ones they already have. Or both. Whatever works. I'm not going to post the covers I made here as well, that's a bit of overkill, so if you want to see - mine and others' - or show off your own, check it out.

 

Oops, I missed these! Very nice!! I especially like the Warrior Woman

 

As I already said on DA, you bring the fun & the normality back into the Solo & Skywalker family.

 

Thanks once again, everyone! It's been a while since I posted so I have a lot of art to share with you all... let's start with Star Wars stuff! I tried my hand at sketch cards and colouring pencils for a change, and ended up with this:

And I did another digital sketch, too, again of Han and Leia. This time they're arguing in the South Passage. I love this scene:

... and some more illos for "Solo Moments", which I'll just link to:

And some other art; first, my butterfly fairies. I posted the WIPs over in the tutorials thread if you're interested, but here's the finished thing:

Captain Jack Sparrow, my first detailed pencil drawing in a while:

You can see a few close-ups linked in the description, and there's also a video showing the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS0ntub-B1Q

And finally, I'll leave you with two drawings of Eric Northman from True Blood:

[link=http://svenjaliv.deviantart.com/art/Viking-Vampire-255120115](click here for full view)[/link]

Done in Prismacolor pencils, which I finally managed to find on eBay, on Bristol board.

And then there's [link=http://svenjaliv.deviantart.com/art/Eric-In-Blue-245678501]Eric In Blue (sketch)[/link], done on grey paper with charcoal and chalk.

Okay, whoah, I think that's enough for now!

 

Whew amazing artworks, stunned by Jack Sparrow and delighted after seeing the kids and fairies

 

Mo chrí, I just added THAT Eric to my DA favourites.



He looks so gorgeous. Bill is always booooring (and only my husband likes him). Your Eric displays a lot of sexiness & darkness. Your colour use is also gorgeous in this one.

 

Thanks Iverna! Awesome as always!

For the upcoming Midwinter period/ Christmas time I wish you a lot of time for yourself and your art. (Ban)dia linn, mo chrí!
