Speeder Bike Chase


 One of my most favorite scenes in Star Wars involves my favorite type of storm trooper, the scout trooper. That scene is "the speeder bike chase" in Endor with Luke and Leia, this Diptych is from that scene.

It took me a while to come up with the ground. Originally it was grass blades, but it made the image look still,  there wasn't that speed element. Then I came up the lines that match the trees and made the perfect speed element that I was looking for.

Echo Base Are Belong To Us




I don't know why, but I've been on a Star Wars kick. It doesn't help that my girlfriend has also gotten into the same kick as me. Don't get me wrong, I think it's the best space opera ever created by a human brain. and it's super cool that my girlfriend enjoys it as much as me, but this just came out of nowhere.

I haven't done fan arts in a while so I decided to do a piece with the characters from "A New Hope" (which isn't finished yet) I haven't figured out a background yet. I moved on to vectorize a bunch of light sabers and make a chart type of design, but again, i'm just not happy with the end result so far, plus I couldn't get this other idea out of my head...

I couldn't wait to make a piece for "The Empire Strikes Back." I just went for it. I made it semi mid-century style. I love the snowspeeders and the AT-AT Imperial Walkers, so i made this diptych of the two sides about to clash. I think it came out great. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. I also can't wait to make this into a framed piece cause it deserves it!

Previously Unfinished and Unreleased: Star Wars

Like all artists I have some stuff that I never finished because I got caught up doing something else; didn't like it; or I didn't know how to finish. I also have some stuff that I never released because I didn't like it or I felt like something was lacking.
Sometimes I end up at the folder of an unfinished piece that I really like and has potential and I try to think of of ways to finish, but I rarely find a way or inspiration at that time.
So here is the Star Wars related work that I've done that is Unfinished and/or Unreleased.

The first image is the Tattooine mountains with Luke's landspeeder. I got the idea from an old record cover of the Grand Canyon. I don't know why but It just didn't turn out as great as I had hoped.



 Here is the Star Wars gang. The problem was getting a background done good enough for this. I love the way the characters came out, especially Chewbacca, I'm sure this will be finished sometime soon.

Here's another attempt at Tattooine, this time it's Luke, Obi-Wan and the droids looking over Mos Eisley Space Port. This one is better, but I feel that it's still lacking something.



with this semester wrapping up, I'm sure I'll be posting more, I have a lot of previously unfinished and unreleased work that I want to show, and maybe get some advice, ideas or suggestions on how to finish. Also I have some more new work that I'd like to post.
