Looks as if we'll be getting a colour commission again for tomorrow's raffle draw! \o/
Thank you so much for your continued support, everyone. *hugs* I'll post up the draw results sometime during the day - I need to wait for the Patreon report first; there's been a lot of fluctuat...

Weird that it took Kylo Ren for me to draw action poses and no faces.
Still weirder that all the Kylo Ren fanart these days is drawn by women. XD

Fëanor in black and gold, as it ought to be, really.
Original going up on Etsy in a sec! :)

Words can't describe how much I love this colour. It does everything on its own.

Kylo mind-tricked me into proving that he can do that swoosh too.
I loved the lightsabre fight in TFA. Visceral and vicious. Not like the portly ones from the OT or the ballet dances from the Prequels.
Listening to Green Day for the necessary aggression factor.

So, based on your thoughts, I went for pretty dark. ;) And also made his face slightly longer and grimmer.
Oh, and yes, Patreon has a new look! I actually quite like the blog function, though it might look slightly bleak now if you're not logged in...

Sorry for the silliness. XD

Kylo Ren may hold a candle to the swoosh that is Darth Vader, but he will never hold as much as a match to the swoosh that is Fëanor.
Also, I am aware of and totally fine with the fact that Fëanor looks like Eddie Redmayne here. Eddie is an Elf. Come on, that's a...

Aaaah yes. Fëanor, you're rocking that costume.
No, you don't get the wrapped sleeves. I tried to take them from Kylo, but he sort of looked at me like that and ignited his lightsabre, and I somehow had the feeling it might be unwise.
I'm thinking black and gold leaf for th...

Yay! ^____^
I love the fact that the Star Wars my daughter grows up with has Rey in it.
And that it's also the Star Wars that my son grows up with. Though I did good work with him already; his favourite character so far was Padme.

I loved the last Rey sketch I did, but the layout and pose wouldn't have worked like that as soon as I elaborated more, so I decided on a different pose.
I'll probably end up doing at least two more Star Wars pieces - this one, and finally, a good Finn. Right now, I can't say whether the...

Here we are!! Hope you like it as much as I do, Deanna! ^____^ That went really quick there in its final stages...
Watercolour, gel pen and white gouache on Canson Montval, A3 size. (It's huge!) And look, I did light reflecting off something in watercolour. I never really dared before. 2016-01-25 16:13:17 +0000 UTC View Post
You know a painting's going to be good when your heart goes out to the subject of it while you're working.
Deanna, this is going to be fantastic. :D
(Also, I'm very much getting the hang of Adam Driver.)

As soon as you accept that watercolours are imprecise, lightsabres start to be fun.

I *had* to keep the sleeves. <3
Poor kid. I want to hug him and stroke his hair and tell him it's going to be all right.
2016-01-24 19:21:56 +0000 UTC View PostI've put up my Star Wars paintings (that weren't commissions) on Etsy, in case you'd like to risk a glance. I hope Disney doesn't. O_o

I did it. Can't believe I got him. The last few times I tried (back in the nineties), it was a slaughter.

Okay, I know I told you I firmly believed he would look better in colour, but I lied. I didn't really believe he would. But he does!! Yayayay.
Things I want to do before I die #421: Get a better Star Wars character likeness than Dave Dorman. Unlocked!

For a colleague of mine (for whom I already did Monny the Christmas monster). I know he totally doesn't look like Han right now, and I know it's the colours and the shadows. The lines are in the right places; it needs the shadows to become him. I already did some shading as, before that, it looked e...

Commission for Deanna, who requested a young Ben Solo falling to the Dark Side. I was looking for reference pics last night and, haphazardly, entered "young Adam Driver" into Google. What came up was - high school yearbook photos of Adam Driver. O_o I felt rather surreal and just slightly creepy put...

Seriously, that scene with the pilot helmet was the cutest thing I've seen in a while.

Not completely happy with the effects here, and wonder whether I shouldn't just have called this finished at the time of the last wip shot I posted. Instead, I kept adding layers until it was a muddy mess. Well, I suppose that's what the Dark Side gets you. This is a new attempt.

Kylo Ren (ominously): Why is there so little Indigo and Moonglow?

Another Saturday night. Those are dangerous. My only hope is that this paint takes so long to dry that I'll just go to bed instead of waiting, or I'll be sitting here at 3 AM again... (If it wasn't a quarter to midnight now, I'd use a hair-dryer.)
It's funny that I've never gone out of my way ...

I never fall for the baddies. Never ever. Messed up and conflicted, bring 'em on, but so far, I've stayed clear of total train wrecks.
No more, it seems. To be watercoloured soon.
I think I'll draw Feanor with a high collar from now on, haha!
