X-Wing Alliance - Artists Journal
« on: June 12, 2012, 04:40:19 PM »


As I've now completed the 22nd chapter of the series I usually take a few weeks off before starting work on the next installment. Given that I have spent the last two years working on this project I'd like to share some of my favorite images from the series so far.

I've had a good rummage through my folders and here are some of my personal favorites.

every single frame is mind-blowing work, Jules, blood, sweat and tears, but also a lot of fun - you have an awesome talent which deserves all honor and glory. I so love that image with the super battle droids, the scenes in space, action, you have a wonderful sense for composition, depth of fields and dramatic lighting and you can truly be very proud of your work! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

I love all these shots, but I laughed out loud (in a good way) when I saw than Ewok cruising through the forest on that speeder.

Had a super-hard time pickin' a fav... I think I like the shot of the 3 yellow nosed y-wings the most... I think... :)
Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live & die on this day. How we die is equal to how we live. Once more into the breach, my friends, once more, or we close the walls up with our dead...

If this was a book I'd buy three copies.
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your feedback.

A little update for you, I'm going to publish this comic in Flip-Book format on the web, making it more accessible to readers and users of smartphones and tablets. It will read just like a comic.

I'm in the process of creating the physical artwork for the software, backgrounds etc, and a front cover for the story. Here is the front cover I worked on last night... Come on LucasArts, the X-Wing series needs to be revived! 13-years is a long time, and with the advances in technology this would be the best Star Wars game ever created! Us Original Trilogy fans need it, and need it bad!

As I've been adding chapters I've also had to do book covers. I'm up to chapter 8, and here they are....

I really like that pirate one, but all are grand. I swear I posted in here this morning, but I did take this to the front page and FB.
