Poe Dameron - finished!

Good grief, this guy is fun to paint. There are faces that just can't go wrong. 

Video is coming!

Poe colour wip

I swear he's just flowing from my brush. Yay. 

"I can fly anything."

Well hello there, gorgeous. :D

There are many reasons to love Star Wars 7 for. Black heroes, female heroes, two-dimensional villains - all fine. But giving us a cocksure fighter jock who still manages to be all around likeable and friendly is something really rare. "That's my jacket! --...

Poe Dameron

I'm slowly making my way through all the awesomeness that is The Force Awakens. Poe Dameron has a pretty small part, but his snappy one liner count is topped only by Han Solo (probably higher considering how many lines he has in all).

Poe: "Why are you helping me?"

Finn: "Because it's the ri...

Idril for Catherine

Idril, this month's prompt piece for Catherine! I drew this in a conference today - she drew a lot of heads from the (male) colleagues around me, haha.

Hope you like her, Catherine! *hug*

Kylo Ren (painting lightsabres in watercolour)

Not a timelapse this time, but a thorough look at what went into that Kylo Ren piece. With narration again. Hope you like it!

January Freebies!

Wallpapers (tablet and desktop), avatars and lineart - have fun! <3

Destiny

So, woke up after five hours and felt the irresistible pull of the Dark Side from my desk.

I can't believe I pulled this off. Seriously. I was scared silly of that lightsabre, and now look at that. And also, snow and stars and trees and coarse fabric and hair and okay, I'm fine, we're ...

Dark circles under everyone's eyes

... it's 2 AM here, so though I feel I could plough right on and finish this by 5, I very probably shouldn't. Though the dark circles came really naturally to me just now. If only I could stop squinting!

It's weird to draw a face with a structure I've literally never drawn.  The li...

Lightsabre fun

(Is it weird to spell it the British way, incidentally?)

Did three practice lightsabres in different techniques before settling on this one - and then botched the first attempt and started again. But yay, this'll be so worth it. So far, all my watercolour Star Wars art was comic-like cell shad...

Painting day setup

Do you have "soundtracks" for things you do? I haven't listened to Ash in ages, and as soon as I started painting Star Wars again, that was my first go-to in iTunes. The album "1977" starts with the sound of a TIE fighter screeching past and ends with the song "Darkside Lightside". ^___^ I listened ...

"I will fulfil our destiny"

Lineart version of the latest Kylo Ren piece, which will feature a lot of watercolour-only effects without much lineart. It's funny how this is the artist's version of greenscreen filming. XD "Yeah, we'll put that lightsaber in later."

Four seasons

Here's all four of them! I find myself wishing I'd paid more attention to the likeness. I never realised that they don't quite match. :/ Hope you don't mind, Is! Just separate them by those gorgeous mats and nobody will notice. ;)

But looking at these, I feel justified in turning down a...

Summer Thranduil

That came out colourful! As it should. I really love the effect of all of them together. The pale, tentative colour of spring, the riot of summer, the dull and rich tones of autumn, and the stark contrasts of winter. <3

Yay sunflowers!

Haha, I can't remember the last time I've used colours that popped so much! I was worried this would be getting too close to either the autumn or spring colour schemes, but it seems I needn't have worried. 

By the way, Patreon seems to have been hiccupping badly of late. If your payments ...

"Destiny" scribble

Oh fudge. It's officially serious. 

I totally blame Juhi!! =D

Summer Thranduil in the works

Last of the seasonal Thranduils for Isabella! 

Kylo Ren

Here he is, Juhi! =D This was so much fun. And so much gold. Oh my!

Come to the dark side. We have cookies. And gorgeous hair.

Oh heck, when Juhi threw Kylo Ren my way as her January commission, I did love the idea, but dear me, I hadn't realised how much fun that guy was to draw. 

Kylo Ren rocks. Seriously. That hair! Those moles! <3

And in case anyone starts with "Ugh Emo Ren!", well yes! Th...

Man of Gondor

Here's the prompt for December (yes, I'm behind... sorry!) for Kerstin, who requested Beregond. He turned out a bit like my hubby, but all friendly, dark-haired, bearded men tend to do that. :D There are worse things!

Drawn in pencil on paper, then printed on toned paper and treated with laaaa...

Happy New Year to everyone! - Here are the January winners! :)

Uuuuuh, I feel compelled to point out that "Fandom" totally encompasses Star Wars. Just in case. :P

Prompt: Catherine McCluskey

A3 Facsimile: Floss

A4 print(2): Georgina Matthews, Natalia Olano
