    Hi Komodo! [:D]
    Welcome to Fanarts!

    Great start, that stormtrooper looks excellent! =D= Love how much detail you have on him and it's a really cool pose. What's that thing in his hand? A grenade maybe?

    The only "mistake" that I've noticed about it is that the hand is a big too big. In my opinion it should be a bit smaller.
    But that's only my opinion and maybe his hand is even totally normal - I have quite small hands so it's very likely I'm mistaken and I'm also far from beeing an expert. :)

    Anyway, his hand looks really good. I always have problems with the fingers and prefer not to draw them. (so most of my drawings are portraits or in others the hands are hidden behind something [face_blush] ) Respect!

    Would like to see more of your work soon! :)

    Thx Chilla,

    Ya i am not sure what he is holding, lol ,

    It could be a funky type of holo projector,

    As for the hand u got to remember he has a glove on.

    Hello Komodo1138, and welcome to Fan Art! This is a wonderful rendering--you say it was done in Flash--with a tablet, or did you ink the piece then import it to the program...? Just curious mostly (I'm a pencil jockey myself, and don't work in digital, but am still curious about it! :p ). I agree with the comments so far about the pose and the detailing--they're excellent, very professional. I do have to agree that perhaps the outstretched hand is a touch too big, even with the glove--but only ever-so-slightly. A quick reference to some photos of troopers will help with that, I think (I live and die by photo references, myself! :D ). It's such a minor thing, though--the rest of it is just superb--and I think the holoprojector looks ever-so-cool! There are multitudes of Clone Trooper fans in our forum here, I think you'll find them flocking in very soon to admire this piece! We'll be looking very much forward to seeing more! Thanks for sharing this, and once again--welcome!

    Welcome to the boards, Komodo! I'm pretty impressed with that! I don't think the hand is too big, but I'm coming out of the Warcraft universe where everything is exaggerated.

    You could use this new one as an "ink blot" test for people. If they don't instantly recognize a Stormtrooper helmet, force them to watch Star Wars. :D (I like it. What more work would you want to do on it?)

    Thx Giolon05,

    It could have cleaner lines and maybe a little more detail.

    That trooper has marketability.
    Have you thought about that?

    Cool work, but I have to say it is a little hard to make out cos it's very dark at first it looked like some one started to draw a Wookiee and then I looked again and I could make it out that it was darths helmet and it is really good too keep it up sorry about the Wookiee comment but if you made it stand out more like the shine on his head or some think it would make it look rely cool just a suggestion.

    Very, very nice stormie and Vader pieces, Komodo! I really like the half-helmet view you used for them--it's very "book cover-ish," as though leaving room for text or a title. It's wonderful sometimes to see how effective an economy of image can be--I like these very much! Nice work!

    People can easily see the marketability of gatodama's, and FalconFan's work (at least, I'd hope).
    But people mustn't forget stylized work sells extremely well too.
    Think of Otis Frampton, Tom Hodges, and Gendy Tarton-whatever :p
    Your original works have a lot of pop art quality to them. Think poster design , T-shirt design, binders for school/work, etc etc etc.
    I say take what you do and see where you can go with it.
