I'm sure REAL comicbook artists don't tackle a comic the way I do...but I like to jump around and work on different pages, depending on my mood. And since this is a fan project, I can afford to take my bloody time!

That being said, this full-page spread of a half-dozen droid Jedi is kicking my butt. Technology has never been my strong suit, and finding interesting, different poses to stick the Jedi in has been a challenge! Especially this full-page.

As most of you know, I've been hacking away at an "Invasion"-era fan comic. I've been having a difficult time drawing Luxum just right - her angles and perspective keep throwing me. So I decided to make a maquette model of her I can use as reference...because, you know, I'm thorough like that. That, and I really wanted to have a 12" model of her in my room. Ha!

Anyway, I'm including the original design I came up with, in addition to the model. I'll post more photos as the piece progresses. Hope y'all enjoy!

I decided to create on some digital Expanded Universe cities, for my portfolio.

Here are some of the illustrations I've done so far!

Ataria City, Spira
Due to it's large temperate zone, lack of dangerous fauna, and close proximity to the other Core Worlds, Spira was a popular tourist destination and resort world.

Hikahi, Dac
A major spaceport on Mon Calamari, Hikahi was built around a series of islands.

Hand of Thrawn, Nirauan

Jumping ahead to page 18!

I took some liberties with the script on this page, combining elements from the text to create both pages 18 and 19.

So most of my latest SWAG character submissions are for an "Invasion" era fan comic I'm working on. I thought I'd post a page from the comic, and try and get some feedback.

As I've never illustrated a comic before (though I've been reading them for most of my life), I'm finding it challenging to figure out exactly HOW to tell a story visually! Every panel can be told a different way...and it's kicking my butt to figure out which way is BEST!

Continuing with the NJO "Last Stands," here my latest. The corridor blast doors are a grab from "Empire Strikes Back," to ensure I keep with a true Star Wars feel. Her outfit is inspired by a Twi'lek from the Opera House.

I'm debating if I want to include Alema's hand outstretched, reaching for her sister....thoughts?

Here's my WIP of the "The Last Stand of Drif Lij." Lij died during the Battle of Coruscant, when Yuuzhan Vong forces attacked. I thought it'd be cool to show some of the lesser-seen craft from the NJO: coralskippers, and the Bothan Attack Cruiser. I think I need to fill out the space battle though (difficult to do, without it looking to busy). Maybe some Vong ships, and a Mon Calamari MC90 Battleship?

Thoughts? Critiques? We've never seen what exactly the coralskippers project out of their cannon-mouths. I was thinking super-heated lumps of lava.
