It’s a New Year and this is the return of Trial by Comics! The first theme of 2018 follows up our last of 2017, which was “Star Trek”. In a courages act of selfless, the new theme is “Star Wars”. I am not [blasphemous, I know], a Star Wars fan. What draws me to Star Trek is it’s basis in real science and struggles with human conflicts we deal with currently, like greed, prejudice and corruption. Star Wars is probably the ultimate “good versus evil” film of our lifetime, but I have a hard time sitting through the first six episodes [The Force Awakens was good, but that’s because you motherfuckers poached Abrams from Star Trek to save your space muppets franchise]. Okay. I’m done. Moving on with the contest.
Dig deep in to your inner nerdom for this one. It’s the first of the New Year and artists like @beekart, @justmousepixels, @artistchristian, @artwatch and others have really set a high bar. Any character across any timeline is appropriate. I’m hoping to see at least one Yoda on Luke’s back. Be creative. There are so many incredible worlds in the Star Wars universe, I’d love to just see concept art style entries of the Dagobah swamps or mech style blueprint illustrations of the Millennium Falcon.
Here’s the artwork for the new theme I’ve been sketching and re-sketching over the last two days. A moment from Kylo Ren’s lightsaber battle against Rey in the winter forest. Usually, the contest artwork is just flavor for the announcement, but I was happy with how this turned out. It was an exercise in drawing something I’m not super in to. I had to do a lot of costume research, the build the drawing up and tear it down before finally getting to a point I was happy with it. Lots of referencing Capullo’s Batman run, if you couldn’t tell.
Here’s a refresher on the rules, deadline and prizes.

I can't draw well enough to take part in this contest, but made many Star Wars characters in 3d form. Here is full scale BB8 I was building for half a year. :)

Oh how neat is this! If only I could draw haha but I have a great time enjoying everyone’s artwork ☺️
Well, I'm doing Star Wars begrudgingly. I know a lot of people were excited for it. Just not my thing @artdellavita.
I’m a old school Star Trek kinda gal but I did enjoy the original 3 Star Wars movies as I have fond memories of going w my dad to see them. Now comic-wise I loved the Sandman ones and the first Black Canary comics!

If c3po is a character with a lot of detail. I'm glad you liked the drawing.
this one is soooo coool @katari! looks like to me as if it was fun to do. all these colorful wires, n stuff:)

I know you're not a fan, but I am stoked you actually went ahead with this theme! I love Star Trek too, for its more realistic basis, and forward-thinking... but there's just something about Star Wars. You're totally right, though, it took Abrams to save/resurrect it, after the shit-tastrophe that was Episodes I-III. 😅
With such a large franchise, I'm really excited to see some vastly different entries!
