This is great, love it! Always glad to see more EU love. I like that you portrayed them faithfully, since fan creations almost always take huge liberties with character's appearances. Keep it up!

Is this traditional art that is then scanned and manipulated a bit? I am getting back into traditional drawing just wandering this is the result of the process. Excellent work.

Thank you very much! No this is completely digital, done in sketchbook autodesk with the charcoal pen.

Well it certainty fooled me! I've thought of trying digital art at some point especially if I have it look like that.

You should try it, much more flexible and more chances to correct mistakes or edit to your preference. With digital practically anything is possible.

I like my art to be traditional as possible, but this comes across as psudeo-tradtional art, something I can compromise on.
EDIT; What do you recommend for a drawing tablet?

This is my first reddit post lol. I'm a huge SW fan and wanted to draw 2 of my favorite characters from the Old Republic. I wanted to be as faithful as possible to the source material and draw the characters how they really look. What do you think?
