    I'm looking into getting a substancial Vader tattoo, and your B&W and color skills are amazing! If I like what I see, may I use it? You WILL be recognized in the Artists portfolio and ANY magazine publications it will be in as I'm going through a VERY well known tattoo artist. Keep up the good work, your skills are very impressive!

    As usual, Cat, I can't come up with words! [face_laugh] ;) I especially love the Leia, Sidious and Chewbacca cards--most especially Chewie! That view of him, with the snarl and his bowcaster is one of my favs! You are the Master!

    here are a few more cards....

    Padme: airbrush/colored pencil
    [image=http://www.airbrushcat.com/newart/padme.jpg]

    Luke and Leia : pencil (this one will become a much larger piece...they got more than they asked for) I had a lot of fun doing this one...

    Here is another concept I am working on:

    The Chosen One

    **joins in with Ewok-like chanting**

    WOW!!! These are so beautiful, gatodama! The colored Padme is almost ethereal, the colors have a very translucent feel to them. I soooo love your pencil work, so the last two would be my favorites of these, but "The Chosen One" just tears me up! I blubbered like a baby when I saw this scene in the film, Obi Wan's heart just breaking in two... :_| :_| Just beautiful composition, powerful emotion---just... **loses ability to come up with words** You speak of "concepts" and "larger pieces"--will we get to see the finished works that these are part of? [face_begging]

    **continues Ewok-like chanting**

    Yeehaw! More Han and Leia! These are soooo fantastic!! Were they done with charcoal pencils this time (the highlights look like a white "chalk" or pastel...)? I just can't get over the photographic-type detail you achieve, gatodama--it's so very humbling (to someone like me, who fights tooth-and-nail for every likeness I attempt... [face_frustrated] ;) )! Beautiful--just beautiful!!

    I'm gonna fall right in line with FF here and continue the Ewok chanting. :p

    Holy crap, gatodama! I am loving that drawing of Han and Leia. Just love it! And moving off of what FF said, it appears to be perhaps conte crayon? If so, I just love working with that stuff and using toned paper. It really brings out the details and the white just really heightens the realistic factor. You also did a wonderful job on Yoda. The use of the yellowish-green paper was an awesome choice!

    Outstanding job! =D=

    Thanks guys,

    It is done with charcoal pencils. White and black. I forgot how messy they are. It has been ages since I have done anything on tone paper. I guess it is like riding a bike, right?

    Beautiful, beautiful stuff. I love the Han and Leia and their framing on the page. Great composition, that.

    But that Yoda? Too awesome for words. Really great stuff, gatodama!

    These are AMAZING!!! I was looking and my little sister came up and saw too. She says you are her hero. I think that's because she wants to be a artist.
