Finally finishing off Medieval Fantasy inspired Captain Rex. He goes nicely with the other three I’ve already finished. I’ve got about 4-5 more Clone Wars characters left on my list.
Young Obi-Wan and Satine. Finally finished a half completed sketch from over a year ago.
I’d love to see a graphic novel, focused on them hiding from assassins and the pre-pacifist Mandalorians. (I’d also like to be the one to draw it).
Medieval fantasy
#TheMandalorian
I’m so proud of this one. It exceeded my expectations. It’s a culmination of everything I’ve learnt in the last year.
This is the way.
‘The Boys are Back in Town…’
This piece has honestly sat on my WIP pile for about a year. It went through a few iterations before ending up somewhere I liked.
‘It’s good to have you back, Commander.’
Ahsoka Tano with Captain Rex, Bo Katan leading the 332nd at the siege of Mandalore. I’ve had this illustration finished for a week or so and was too hyped not to share it.
#TheCloneWars
After watching Empire Strikes Back, I still think about this idea.
Luke, angry at Yoda/Ben for not telling him that Vader is his father, seeks out the one person who could help him come to terms with Vader/Anakin and further teach him the ways of the Force.
Ahsoka Tano.
Sharpen your swords and grab your trebuchets, because it’s time to Siege Mandalore.
When starting the fantasy Star Wars series I knew I had to recreate my Clone Wars illustration!
“A pair of starfighters. Jedi starfighters. Only two.
Two is enough.
Two is enough because the adults are wrong, and their younglings are right.
Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last.”
- Matthew Stover, ROTS Novel
Light. Darkness. The Balance.
I’m pretty proud of this illustration. It took several days and I’m really happy with how the designs, faces and colours turned out! It marks the twelfth and final part of the ‘Age of Resistance’ Star Wars medieval fantasy series!
Qui-Gon jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi
Knight and Squire
Master and Apprentice
Long before the

,Sir Jinn and his squire Obi-Wan roamed the Republic realm. Fighting pirates, rescuing Duchesses and generally righting wrongs.
I mean. How could I not draw these two?
I wanted a special print to debut at
@SupanovaExpo
this weekend and didn’t have time to draw something brand new.
Decided to play around with some of my Star Wars images and came up with this one of Luke Skywalker which I immediately really liked.
‘Aggressive negotiations’
Padmé Amidala! Queen of the Naboo. Able to handle herself equally on the senate floor as well as the battlefield.

Sir Obi-wan Kenobi v General Grievous!
It was fun to go back to some of the first Clone Wars designs I made over a year ago! I’m thrilled with how this picture turned out!
yesterday was Batman Day but today is for the Kids.
It’s been a while but I always love drawing the Batfam. Nightwing and Robin have been favourites of mine since childhood.
The Prodigal Son
The Scion of House Skywalker
The last Jedi.
Ending my Original Trilogy Star Wsrs designs on a high with none other than

Order 66, but make it medieval fantasy.
Dear Lucasfilm, can I adapt the entirety of Revenge of the Sith as a medieval fantasy? Pretty please.

🎵 The Boys are back in town 🎵
I couldn’t round out Series 1 of the Medieval Fantasy Clone Wars without my favourite Clones.
Which means, moving to the Original Trilogy next week!

A Hero is only as good as their villains. And we have some pretty damn good villains here.
These medieval fantasy redesigns have been a great creative outlet/escape.
And yes, Palpatine is coming...

If the first ep of Ahsoka isn’t a 50 minute ‘we’re getting the band back together’ montage with all the live action rebels crew then what’s the point Dave.
Authority is not given to you, to deny the return of the Jedi!’
STAR WARS X LORD OF THE RINGS is here! And whoo this is a big one! I’m so proud of how this one turned out. So many characters and so many small details.
I began work on the Lord of the Rings x Star Wars piece last week. Here’s a tease: The Gondor Trooper, and the URUK class battle droid!
I had a lot of fun creating these designs. It was a fun challenge to make something look at home in the SW universe rather than the opposite.
The Light of the Jedi.
I really love this piece. Gave me an opportunity to draw a lot of characters and species I normally wouldn’t. I’m looking forward to seeing how these characters evolve and grow!

: Salvation
The 2nd of 5 in my faux Shin and Hati comic series. Playing on the Lone Wolf and Cub homage with this one.
Baylan rescues young Shin from the inquisitors and decides to train her not as a Jedi… but as something more.
‘You will be a Jedi. I promise.’
An illustration of Anakin and Obi-Wan post The Phantom Menace.
I’d love to see more stories of this era. Seeing Anakin discovering his new powers and what it means to be a Jedi and Obi-Wan grappling with the loss of Qui-Gon and his new role.
The funniest thing the acolyte could do is put a rock into the background of a crowd scene and just never mention it. The high republic fandom would melt down.
‘Luke Skywalker? I thought he was just a myth.’
Went hard on the Gandalf the White vibes with this one. I also added a sword because honestly? I just felt like drawing one. Helps add to the fantasy feel.
‘I will never forget. The loss has become a part of me. I will honor your teaching. And your sacrifice.’
Cal Kestis and BD-1!

‘They were once great Jedi. Then Sauron the deceiver gave to them nine holocrons of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question. One by one, they fell into darkness and now they're slaves to His will. They are the Nazgûls, Sith Wraiths.’
The man. The myth. The Mace.
Sir Mace of House Windu. This was a super fun one to work on. It ended up being a kind of homage to a 2003 Clone Wars episode.
The hilt reads ‘the path of the righteous man’ part of Sam’s famous Pulp Fiction quote.
