Thanks so much, Jason. I'm glad it arrived quickly and safely, and it found such a great place in your collection. And thanks for the compliments, everybody! :cheers

Thanks, everybody! Sorry I've been away for so long, but I've been so busy with everything I don't get around here too often. I'll try to answer a couple of questions here before I pass out (had a dress rehearsal tonight for a 501st gig, and have to be up in time to get to the actual show...

Hey folks! Sorry I haven't posted here in forever, but I've been visor-deep in work. Any Indy fans around these parts? I thought I'd post this, just one of the reasons my art commissions have been taking so darn long. I was recently asked to do some sketch cards for Topps' Indiana Jones...

Thanks, everybody. :) Happy Birthday, Art. I'm glad you like the painting. :cheers I'm also glad it got there safely - I had kind of a weird feeling about some of those guys down at the Fedex place. :wacko

Dang, I've been totally outted, now. :lol: Sweet pics, Nate. I miss wearing my Obi-Wan costume, but I'm starting to like this Boba Fett thing. That was definitely a great event. Danie and I had a great time. It was cool to hang out with y'all again, and Jeremy was the complete gentleman...

Warning: This is what happens when you give a microphone to a shy painter who DOES NOT speak in public. :o :lol: Thanks for posting those videos, Alex! And thanks again to everybody for letting Danielle and me be a part of all this. It was all an amazing experience that we'll never forget...

Danielle and I just got back a little while ago, and we are completely exhausted from the 21-hour drive. But I just wanted to post something really quick for those who weren't able to be there. The whole experience was just amazing. Jeremy looked absolutely magnificent in the suit, and it...

Thanks! I'm so glad everybody -- especially Jeremy -- liked it. Yep, I did sign it, sort of discreetly down toward the lower right corner. I don't like to leave a big, flashy signature on my artwork most of the time. We just got back a little while ago, and we are completely exhausted...

:thumbsup: Sorry, it's taken quite a bit longer than I'd originally anticipated. A lot of little things have come up to slow me down, but never fear! The portrait is VERY near completion, and I'm planning to have it signed, varnished and ready to go tomorrow sometime. Then I'll post one more...

Thanks everybody! OK, so I've started on the helmet, gotten the jet pack almost done and pretty much finished the cape. I did the boots and started on the jumpsuit. I'm painting everything clean to start off, since that's a lot quicker, then I'll add the dirt and weathering once it's all dry...

Thanks everybody! Yep, it was pretty much the most awesomest thing I've ever gotten to do. Not much more I can say about it than that. :D

Well I've been having to do a few upgrades to my clone lately (for something you'll find out about this weekend) ;). That's one of the reasons I haven't gotten that much work done on the JB portrait. I added quite a bit of weathering and detail work to my hyperfirm DC-15. Click on the thumbnails.

Hey everybody. I'm pretty much finished with the ship now, enough to move on to the helmet and then the suit. I've been very busy the last week or so. You'll probably find out why later on this week. :rolleyes Anyways, here's another progress shot. Click on the thumbnail to see the full-size.

:D Got started on the ship. Just the basic color pattern for now. I'll get into the nitty-gritty details, as well as better coloring and shading, as soon as this layer of paint stiffens up a bit.

Well, I got some work done tonight. Got the platform basically finished - enough so I can move on to the ship, anyway.
