And there they are finally! :cheer:
Don't know why I couldn't see them first time.

They look good, I like that Tie Fighter one. It has a great energy to it. And is that the Laura Dern character? (I still haven't seen the film.)

Love that vibrant colour style!

Valence: Haha! Yeah, they were giving me a bit of trouble there at the start. O.o

Thank you! The TIE Fighter one was done in spray paint and acrylics. I wish I could have gotten a litttttle more detail on it, but alas, it was my second attempt, and I don't have a brush near small enough for the necessary detail work. I'm finding that drawing this small in the traditional medias is a definite learning curve. But I did recently discover that colored pencils can get an amazing amount of detail compared to markers, so I'll be trying out a few of those next. ;-P

Yes! That's Laura Dern/Admiral Holdo! I think she is so cool. Or maybe I just like her fancy hair. :-P

Heehee, thanks! :-)

Here's another update with two more sketch cards based on "Star Wars: The Last Jedi:"



Reference Images:
TIE Silencer
Master Yoda (I didn't really rely on any reference image for this one, more like multiple images to just make sure I had the face and hands right, but I think it's always useful to have a picture, so here's one of Master Yoda)!

you've inspired me to try something star wars related as well. Not that I've found the time yet, but at least I have an idea or two :P

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

Thanks, all!

This will be my first time taking my art to a commercial level, but I’m super-excited for the stuff I’ll be drawing, I can’t wait once I can share it with you all when it’s finally released!

On another note, I’ve been working on another digital portrait. This one is of Mazikeen or Lesley-Ann Brandt from the television show called “Lucifer,” which P.S., you should all watch if you haven’t already. It should be available on Hulu. Fun show.

I’ve also invested in a proper drawing desk to go-evilly relieve my neck of some pain.

If anyone has other suggestion for neck problems, I’m all ears... or neck. xD

Here’s that drawing that I mentioned:
