Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Leia by Space Captain Steve, aka Falterdan aka Steve Stamatiadis, an animation and video game pro who is, coincidently, the game/art director for the PS2/PSP versions of The Force Unleashed. There’s a smattering of Star Wars work both on his DA and spacecaptainsteve.com galleries.
I also really like this pouty little Mara Jade, who makes me me wish they’d just pull a Batman: The Animated Series on the post-ROTJ EU already.

Cade Skywalker by Nathan Getz of Getz-Calandra Productions. A bit of a manga-style touch, but not overpoweringly so.
Star Wars stencils and silkscreens by Eelus. You may have seen these before – I know Bonnie is using the first as an icon on Livejournal, and it was probably in the street art article in the Insider. (Be sure to click through – the last image at the link is something I can’t recall ever seeing before.) But now you can buy them… Although I gather the price is higher than you may imagine. Hipsters.
(As for where the pro part comes in – Eelus was one of the artists on the Vader Project. More pro art is coming!)

Vader by Glen Argus, conceptual artist for Raven Software, who upon googling I found past away suddenly last month.
The Avalanche Software Art Blog does it again – this time around, with a Stoopid Star Wars characters prompt. So far: Qui-Gon, Fode and Beed, Bib Fortuna and Bail Organa ( “…probably had the least amount of screen time as any other character, therefore I hate him the least.” Sporfle!)

Draco dressed as Legolas (with Ginny as Mara Jade) by Nicole Lokstadt. I’ve had this in my favs for months, how did I forget to include it in Harry Potter week? D’oh.
So that Vader with Brita picture some have been giggling over all week? It’s apparently art. That explains everything!
In that vein, The Real World: Darth Vader.
Star Wars Abbey Road by Leela Starsky. Click the picture for a full view.
After a bit of haggling with FedEx, I finally got my copy of The Art of Ralph McQuarrie.
Wow. I never realized how much breadth of talent Ralph McQuarrie has. Sure, he created some of the most iconic images in Star Wars. Sure, he clearly has a great understanding of design. But I just never realized.
