My Star Wars Story
I grow up with Star Wars. I have my collection of Star Wars comics and toys. Usually I hide it somewhere safe. When you have kids, they are your greatest enemy especially when you are a collector. I can't bear to see my Millennium Falcon or Death Star mobile space station demolised in split seconds.
My wife does not understand why an adult like myself keep buying toys and only Star Wars toys. Its hard to explain. It takes one to know one. So, I do a trade off, I buy her something in return. I buy different toys for my kids, but Star Wars is my...my preciooouuuussss....
My Drawing
Now moving on, this contest by @kommienezuspadt and the theme is Star Wars characters. I am excited. Time to do my part. I choose you, Darth Maul!
Darth Maul
He is deadly and he is a Sith Lord trained by none other than Darth Sidious. He is a warrior and a scheming fox. He has an intimidating awesome out of this world double blade lightsaber. He fights like an agile wild cat. Although he fell in his battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, he is still the MAN. This is my interpretation of this Monster of a Man.
I am not much of a sketcher and I don't incorporate all the ideas in the first step. The first first step is to make a composition and then blend it with some rough ideas.
My idea is to make Darth Maul as muscular as possible with a bit of character and is a sinister badass. He is gigantic and all the Jedi Master and Padawan may have to think twice before engaging him in a duel.
Here’s the thing, I am a heavy inker. I like to put details in every work and that’s a bad habit for me. This process take times but I manage to stop inking when the timing is right and move on to the next step.
Okay. I’m done. Next is the scanning and colouring process using photoshop CS6.
Compares the two is inimitable. And that’s my Darth Maul figurine with no lightsaber cause my kids pulling the lightsaber out.Huhhuhuhu..Last but not least is my sign and my steemit prove. Done and proceed to digital.May the force be with you..
Final Piece
Till next then..
I’m out.

Pehh..marvellous bro..cun gile..macam mike deodato tu..
mike deodato perghh..inkingnya lazat..tak terkejar boh dewa dewa tu.. :D
This is a beautiful piece! Great style, great character choice, and in interesting take on Darth Maul. Also found it very cool that you physically drew it out on paper before colouring it digitally. Awesome entry.
yeah..i like to manually inking then digitally..it made the stroke rough and less prefect..maybe just me though..Thanks skippyza.. :)
Yeah I agree, looks really great. ^^

Awesome job. You dont get used to sketch digitally?
Yup..like to sketch manually and coloring in digitally. feel more comfortable and suits me fine..sketch pads much more efficient to control my inking i guess.. or maybe its just me then.Thanks fr3eze for visiting.. :)
It's all cool. In arts I'm always a result believer. It doesn't matter whatever method one uses, you are a good artist as long as you can produce good result. You are all good man.
Thanks man..appreciate that! :) and nice talking to you by the way.. :))
Very cool! I have not followed you until now because... I don't know how I could miss you actually, but Steemit is a confusing place sometimes.
I love inking too - my comic is in black and white so I really can concentrate on that aspect.
I am following now and I reshared :)
Thanks katharsisdrill..much appreciated!its an honor and I certainly will follow you back.Agreed!I love to inking in black and white and it made the artwork more genuine with the less prefect touch i guess..
Thanks and see you around then.. :D
Good work!
I liked to see the progress of the work step by step.
Thank you☺
