Oh yeah... the first dozen or so I did were pretty bad compared to what I'm putting out now.  I'm almost tempted to take them out of the gallery.   

What's really cool, though, is how prominent my art is when you do Google image searches.  On the obscure characters... Maj. Derlin, ICMG (Willrow Hood), Tsavong Lah, Thall Joben... my stuff is sometimes the first image.  What's amazing is that my Vader unmasked drawing is the #3 return when you search for "Vader."  It makes me feel famous.     I like to think that there might be someone somewhere using my art as a reference for their own.

Great artwork Bill.    

So what the plan for the next one?

The next one is Oola... a character I've been waiting to draw since I started this thing.  The pencils are about 1/3 done.  Hopefully I'll get the chance to work on it in the next week.

This week's http://CreatureCantina.com update features the tale of how one of my drawings ended up with a real live Star Wars actor!  I'm so proud...

Here's the art:

My last accident was almost 6 years ago when I first moved to Harrisburg.  There's a ramp to get onto the highway right by my house, and there's essentially no acceleration lane.  You gotta sit there and wait for an opening.  I was behind this car that was waiting, saw a big gap, saw the car begin to pull out, so I looked back, saw I had space too and accelerated.  Thing was, the driver in front of me chickened out and stopped.  So I smacked right into the back of her car and dinged their bumper.  The driver got out... looked at the damage... I said we couldn't just sit in the intersection, that we should drive someplace and exchange info.  She suggested a bank down the road... but I'd only lived there for a day or two and didn't know the area.  I said OK, figuring I'd find the place once I got to the business district.  She took off, but I had to wait until I had an opening, which was a good 10 or 15 cars.  I drove to the business district, stopped at the first bank I saw, and couldn't find her.  I drove around a bit but came up empty.  So I just drove off to work.  The damage was extremely minor, but whatever garage did it would probably have charged a mint to repaint the whole bumper.  And my insurance might have gone up and everything.  My ignorance of the area got me off scott-free.  I mean, I didn't know what else to do.  But I'm sure there was one pissed-off woman sitting in a bank someplace that afternoon.

Next (you'll enjoy looking up this one...):  cleavage

Next:  gibberish

Next:  Squeeze.

I don't usually mix my Star Wars and Steelers lives, but I just gotta post it...


WOOHOO!!!!
