Howdy folks....finally got my fan art finished for The Force Awakens.  Less than a year to go now, man I cannot wait.  It was an amazing feeling getting to draw Luke Skywalker again, alongside cool new characters,  looking forwards to seeing more and trying to resist the spoilers!! 

STAR WARS DAY!

May the 4th be with you!

I've been celebrating it mostly this evening, sitting drawing and listening to John Williams.  Oh, and a little Kevin Kiner, he had some great moments on Clone Wars.  Anyways, cannot wait for Rebels,  if u haven't seen the new trailer already then go check it out now!  It's gonna keep me ticking over until episode 7 arrives.....so I fully expect to be drawing Luke Skywalker in his new costume in a years time for the next StarWars day. How awesome is that gonna be....I mean, when I think about how exciting the build up was for Phantom Menace...the Vanity Fair issue with the fantastic photoshoot, the first teaser, the midnight launch of the toys....to go through all that again, but with kids, it's gonna be amazing.  Geeking out already.

Anyways...here's my StarWars day pic of Kanan,  and also a pic I worked up recently for my tumblr, but neglected the old blog here. I do apologise.

Until next time...Fly Casual!

"YOU HAVE BECOME A RIVAL!"

My latest print 'Battle of the Sith' is up now at my new print store.

As usual it's printed on beautiful Giclee paper, and at 10" x 30" ultra panoramic it looks supercool.

Limited to just 50 copies, each hand signed and numbered.

Grab it here! - RAB PRINTS

This scene from the series just blew my mind.  I loved getting the timeto draw these guys in a style more reminiscent of the original clone wars animation - simplifying Mandalore for the background was a lot of fun.

Loved the Clone Wars - was gutted when it finished, but man what a way to finish, absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see what those guys cook up with their new show Rebels!

Next up? - well, I would love to do a Return of the Jedi print in the style of my untouchables piece...if i can find the time, maybe!

At last we will have Revenge...

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic!  

The poster for the new 3D re-release of The Phantom Menace is 

a disappointing photo montage that doesn't come close to the 

quality of the Struzan original release, and leaves fans everywhere 

feeling like a Tortured Gonk Droid.  But some artists take this as a 

challenge  - to face up to the evil photo poster empire and

rebel with their own doodles.....

ok enough from me.  I doodled this a month or so ago after seeing 
the weak poster for the 3D re-release.  So I sketched up this composition,
looking to emphasise the 3D feeling with the lightsabers, and focus more on integral characters and situations...I love the idea of Qui Gonn and Anakin in Silhouette by the light of the Slave Houses, ships actually coming out at ya...but I doubt I'll get the time to properly work this up.  We'll see....


..maybe once I've taken my son to see the movie ( can't wait ) then I'll be juiced up to
draw this.


Anyway, here's the original amazing Struzan and the new one.  oh man.

Colouring in the Batman Pin-up right now too, but it's..time consuming!  Back to it!
