Title: A long time ago...
Post by: Darth Cestual on February 12, 2012, 08:36:30 PM
...back when I lived in California, I made a Star Wars fan comic: http://theforce.net/comics/fancomics/yodapadawan.asp (http://theforce.net/comics/fancomics/yodapadawan.asp)

I'm new to the saber community and just wanted to say hi. I treated myself to a grab bag saber for the holidays and was really impressed by the quality I sprung for a 2nd one with all the bells & whistles.

I'm an artist and martial artist (Tang Soo Do, brown belt-about 8 years out of practice  :-\ ) and have always wanted to get involved with a saber club like the ones I've been seeing around the country. However, I live in the sticks of north Arkansas now where its bibles and banjos and anything geeky gets you odd looks from the locals, lol.

You're very welcome.

I'm going to school so that I can better illustrate my story.

I've created  it using music, it's a strange concept without explanation but I enjoyed reading that.

You guys should give it at least a try.

I really haven't worked on this in years. It was an exercise in learning how to use a computer with my art. I think I had another 50-60 pages worked out, rough sketches and such. After about 10 years of trying to get into the comics industry without too much to show for it, I switched to role playing games and now my friends and I are trying to make our own boardgames & rpgs, of which I'm doing mostly the line art, but occasionally I'll do a color piece like the Eve of Doom here.

I still get fan mail on Yoda though, and who knows, I might pick it up again and redo it as a "Special Editon" ;)

Just thought I'd share a drawing I did for a friend. I do believe this is my 1st attempt at Boba Fett

Read all 66 pages.. very entertaining stuff.. Gratz on a job well done. But you left there in the middle of a cliffhanger. Very cruel...

Why not at least finish the storyline and have a finished product..? Or do you have more pages lying around?

I have another 50-60 pages sketched out (somewhere). I still have stuff in boxes from when I moved to Arkansas from California, so they could be in storage. I had an "ending" per se in mind, but I hadn't drawn that far yet. Not sure if I want to spoil it just yet by revealing the plotline entirely. I guess part of me would still like to finish it someday...  ::)
