Guess I was under a rock with some Jawas out in the Jundland wastes... oh wait nope, that's where I work haha--anyway I can't believe I missed this thread! As a fellow artist and lover of Star Wars I have to say I feel such immense honor at having had Art take a liking to my work! Whether they're just photo references, or actual digital renderings these are some of the coolest works I have ever seen. As a painter, photographer, and all around creative type (I like to think so anyway...) It's absolutely true what they say! "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." But allow me to clarify, these are no imitations--no-no, these are genuine works of awesome! There are few joys in the world like that of having a fellow artist, and friend create something inspired by something you have created. It's synonymous to musicians jamming together, composing together, and soloing in those jams--playing off one another and getting ideas and practice as they go.
Makes me proud to be a Yarder, Blogger, Collector, and of course, Fan.
Thank you for all the warm words Art, and all the support for Art's work is wonderful to see! AFE is proud to be collaborating with one of the Empire's finest creative engineers! Plan on this being a lasting arrangement
By the time you're reading this (everyone) the wonderful WIP diptych will be up on the AFE home page. Oh and Art, it is already my desktop on my laptop!
Now if I may steel this thread for just a moment, I have a bunch of newly acquired figures and customs brewing! Plan to see a custom AT-AT Driver of our very own Tamer soon!
