Em: I love this expression, but that seems to be a specialty of yours. I always dig the faces on your pieces.

artofant: Love the texture on his jedi robes. As someone else said, those eyes are killer too.

Barry: Clones make me giggle. A very good cartoony cross between Ewan and Alec going on with that Obi-Wan. I find your version immenently more pleasing than the actual cartoon version of Kenobi.

douglas_ladd: so much movement

laseraw: I like the black and white better of the 2. I think the inking detaill gets lost in the colored version.

bangalore_monkey: I love how loose this piece is. It is hard to think of Vader without putting him in the freezing chamber scene

Bangalore_monkey... again: This one is some top shelf stuff. I love the implied detail. With just a few stokes and details, you make my subconscious fill out the detail. I can "see" where Big D's shoulder is and the edges of his helmet and cape. I am also a sucker for highlight drawing on black paper.

howardshum: These are alll wonderfully tight and crisp. The cropping of Jango is spot on and I always love seeing some D Maul headshots. He always reminds me of a rotten tomato

Kaiser:
The coloring on this is great! The energy in it is pretty amazing as well.

alfret:
Wow, you tackled quite a cast of recognizable faces and tagged it amazingly well. That is quite an ensemble piece!

Lasersaw:
I think people often forget to make Vader dark! You make him nice and dark. I love the frenetic line work. Nice texture.

madhatter:
I would be interested to see the underlying line work. I think the high pass filter and other photoshoppy stuff muddies what could be a wonderful underlying drawing.

been a while! i'll be back with comments later, but for now just wanted to jump in. i remember reading way back when how Vader had a castle, but it was never realised in the new episodes because i think Lucas decided he needed to humanise the Dark Lord. anyway, just playing around and tried to imagine what his domain would look like through the eyes of a scared shitless Imperial Commander walking towards his doom (yikes!) --
