Some things I want to get done before New Year are just some re-drawings of stuff I wasn’t happy with.

First was the Chat Noir-post which itself was a redrawing of an older Miraculous Day-post.

This new one is closer to the original and more symmetric. Doesn’t feel as all-over-the-place as V.2 and looks better side-by-side with Ladybug.

So. Earlier this year we lost James Earl Jones who in his long career was probably most known as the voice of Mufasa as well as Darth Vader.

As I was busy with my Marvel 85 Anniversary, I took a day and stressed out a tribute to him as well as to Sebastian Shaw and David Prowse but now with actual time on my hand, I wanted to draw my favourite Vader-scene and what he gave to this character.

My favourite scene is the small hallway scene from Ep. 6 where Luke retreats to Vader. It’s the same character from the previous films, the same suit, same voice and all but none of that fear that came along. It’s no longer the monster slaughtering in hunt of the Death Star-plans, choking left and right over the smallest errors. It’s not the man who cut the hand of his own son in rage. It’s a father talking to his son.

It’s Anakin Skywalker, a master engineer admiring his son’s work on his lightsaber. It’s Anakin warning Luke of the dark side. Same mask, same voice, now portrayed as a slave more than a fist. It’s Anakin thinking back on Obi-Wan and the mistakes of his life and the prison he put himself in.

It’s Anakin saying it’s too late, son.

Well, a lot is of course the passivity of David Prowse’s performance and Mark Hamill leading the conversation but James Earl Jones gave the final push to make Vader more man than machine in his final hour of privacy, before the two entered the Death Star.

This moment between the two is important to strengthen Luke to yell out to his father in pain, to Vader to finally turn after all this time and for them to get a moment to say goodbye and Luke to attend his father’s funeral in the midst of a celebrating galaxy. Without this, Luke would probably still have hope, but now he has evidence of the light side in him.

Or I’m just overthinking. But damn, James Earl Jones was brilliant as Darth Vader and the AI hasn't been close to replicating what he gave to this character.

Late 4/4-celebration

Just wanted to share the WiP on my latest project, a little collage celebrating The Fantastic Four

Hope it doesn't look as awkward once the rest of the work is finished

But the FF has a special place in my heart, I have loved them as long as I have loved comics and so excitied for them to return to the cinemas

A creature I designed back in August, a being of pure floral and green, burned and regrowing. Approximately 3 metres high and kind in nature and non-violente as it lacks any claws or teeth.

What I’m the proudest of here is that I can’t recall any real inspiration. I watched a Psych2go-video where they introduced their new mascot, a marshmallow with a plant on its head representing growth and that was that. The idea sparked from the mention of growth but can’t really say the two creatures have anything in common more than that.

And the original sketch has the lower part being reminiscent of the meat-monster from Stranger Things S3 but not really ready to call that an inspiration either other than a scrapped idea for the material, being now supposed to be completely made of vines.

And yeah, it has light coming out of it like Groot back in Guardians 1 but not really a character I had in mind either when drawing this.

And that’s my favourite type of sketch, where I can just pick up a pen and let the hand do the work for me, this being a minority that I had an actual theme in mind for once.

I kind of love making these kind of drawings and just curious if there's a character I should add? Do have plans to try to make X-Men or Teen Titans but can be other stuff as well. Some Villains or stuff outside of Marvel and DC perhaps

This MIGHT be 99% pre-downloaded brushes that came with Photoshop that might also not work well together BUT I saw this cat a while ago sitting on a well and looking over her home and I did not have time to pick up my camera SO here’s a ruff concept of what it looked like.

Magnificent.
