I do love your loose style to painting, Art. It's all about the brush stroke.

you know that besides the digital realms I am a true and loving oil painter and again I find action figures very useful as models one of my personal long term projects is a series of trooper oil paintings, done in my favorite loose style. I finished this one a few months ago and right now I can only show you a detail of the painting for the German Star Wars fan club has the exclusive rights on it and though I should not publish anything at all I believe showing only a detail at a specialized forum like this one is not a harming to the agreement - and its the only way to discuss my ideas using this medium and maybe get some pushes to carry on. the painting measures 60 x 80 cm (23.6 x 31.5 '') Hope you enjoy

sidekick story: though this is still my first oil painting  out of the series and I own some good troopers I already ordered some new ones for 100 bucks or so at my favorite online store to expand my collection of patient models just couldnt resist... for originally I only wanted to buy the new TCW Shaak Ti and a Shock Trooper for my son...

Art, I love the oil painting, by any chance are there prints available for sale? I would proudly display that in the room that I devoted to Star Wars in my home.

VA, thank you so much for your special compliment, I am feeling honored!!
well, there is no print available in its original size, but I can offer a printable PNG file wich will result in a printout measuring approx. 23 x 17 inches @ 150 DPI, wich is quite fair, better would be a print @ 300 DPI in half the size.  you are familiar with all the technical printing stuff, I guess

[Tamer]

I would love to have one of that Walker one you did!

Wieder ein atemberaubendes Kunsterwerk Stefan. Die Kashyyyk trooper sind phänomenal geworden.
Ich denke George Lucas wäre stolz es in seinem Wohnzimmer hängen zu haben.
Hut ab mein Freund.

Art, thank you so much that would be great! I have access to a hi-quality plotter printer that can accommodate a 23x17 size with no problems at all

this is my fav out of all of them

Art, your trooper image is so unusual, I find myself comparing it to early abstract paintings of flowers or Tuscan Landscapes. The crossover style is totally unique and I absolutely love your work. Please don't just show us your Star Wars art, I'd love to see your other works as I'm a huge fan of abstract art, however I rarely see it done well. You have a wonderful talent.

Just a few short words does your images no justice at all, they are in a class all their own. Once again I am so thankful you are with us, you bring a touch of grandeur to our proceedings.

[Art deWhill]

again you guys see me speechless and overwhelmed by your uplifting comments and requests! I can't thank you enough for your appreciation of my work. I am deeply touched.

Jules, thank you so much for your wonderful warming words and insights, for valuing my crossover style so highly... its a great push and enourages me to really and boldly follow my ideas.

Hi Spooky, thanks, glad you like it! its a heavily reworked photo of a cosplayer wearing this Guarding outfit, I tilted it, painted the background and 1/3 of the figure.

Herzlichen Dank, Christoph! Tja, vielleicht habe ich mal Glück und GL sieht eines meiner Bilder

VA & Tamer, I will PM you a hyperlink to the printable files, but for I am new to Windows Live I am not sure if I did set up everything right... I am not a big Microsoft fan, but 25 GB free space attracted me to sign in...

VA, I discoverd that the file of the Kashyyk troopers is a JPG, not an PNG, you may have to do a smaller test printout first (?)
Tamer, I am excited about the fact that you asked for a print of my unleashed Walkers. But I can only provide you a version without the white frame and lettering, for I added this stuff to the web version only. Hope thats not a problem.

[Art deWhill]

well, time for an update
its been a while since Ron asked if I could put create an artwork using one of his Indy figures. I was really delighted, for Raiders is still my all time favorite movie and I own ansd sometimes wear a Indy Fedora and of course I very much like Ron's fantastic creations.
So I looked for a suitable image on his website and went for a typical jungle scenery.  I didn't want to show a Harrison Ford but focused on the iconic outfit instead, so its part Ron's Indy and mine if you will. It was a bit tricky and caused some trouble to keep the balance between some realistic approach and the artifical toy look I always want to peep through my work, but finally here he is, The Man with the Hat:
