If  I were allowed, I'd purchase this and hang it right over my fireplace...but I'm guessing the ol' wifey wouldn't appreciate the beauty of this piece like I do.  Just an Incredible design and production value!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Art.... I am going to be critical of this last Shak-ti piece... You know I love your work, especially when you push the boundaries, mix styles and choose an unusual subject...I've had your Naboo ship as my desktop for a while now, so I am a big fan.... but this one didn't show your full potential I don't think. Lack of shadows and the white border make the figure look as if it's been pasted onto the background.

I don't recall making too many critical comments like this, but I feel that honesty is the correct policy when dealing with such an accomplished artist.

Thanks so very much for your thoughtful reply and being that honest, Jules! I always appreciate honest and respectful feedback to learn more about my art as seen through other eyes than just mine.
You may be surprised now to hear that I absolutly agree on your thoughts. Though I may continue to use the white backlit outline on her it indeed looks a lot like just a figure in front of a backdrop image, just pasted on. Exact my words I said to my wife when I had finished it. As I wrote I am still not quite satified and am thinking about a better foreground to integrate her into the world, creating more depth. Well, its nothing more than a concept yet I did to visualize a basic idea for the publisher of the German Star Wars magazine and it sure needs some development - and your feedback second my thoughts!
Again thanks a lot, my friend!
Stefan

I see where Jules is coming from and tend to agree. To me it was you trying something different. The piece has a Graffiti like style with the white outline, that I like. As has been said there is less depth and shadowing in this piece but I figured that was the look you were going for. In my old Graffiti days we outlined every character or piece, so it would stand out from the background and that is what this piece reminded me of.

Hey Spry, thanks so much for this wonderful  response! Your comparision with Graffiti is a very good one, I like that. As you know my outlining is a essential part of my traditional art, an expressive one and I also like to use it from time to time within my illustrations, mixing realism with kinda comicbook lines, raising the expressive feeling... its hard to describe. So if I ever finish the Shaak Ti I sure will keep the white backlit outline but as said have to increase and develop the other things.
Cheers!

Hey guys,
I found this one in my archive, its a older work I did way back in 2009 where I did a lot of action figure composites and stuff you know, but I never showcased it so far. Time to do so I think! Let me know what you think, hope you like it :)
It's titled "Graslandpatrol". Cheers!
