Original trilogy original movie cut is the only real Star Wars for me... you can take your director's cut, Holiday Special, prequels, sequels, Legos, animated series, merchandise, fan fiction, games etc etc etc, and call it something else - some of it is good, some of it is bad, but none of it is my Star Wars.
It's also holy ground to me, as you might guess, and I fear to tread on it. So for this Star Wars themed contest I decided to not paint Leia, but a Leia cosplayer. Hope you all understand. :)
I painted it in Photoshop on my Wacom as usual, it took about 1 day.
Here are some progress shots:
And the final again:
Thanks for watching!
