Description Jagged Fel, a character from the Star Wars novels; nephew of Wedge Antilles and arguably the best pilot in the galaxy.

I used a ton of references, but the only ones still recognisable are the clawcraft illustration and the Imperial symbol. Jag is a combination of lots of references, and I'm really really happy how his portrait turned out. He's got a scar and a white streak in his hair above his right temple, which is always awkward to draw. The whole thing is drawn and put together freehand. I hope you like it!

Polychromos coloured pencils on Bristol paper, 27 x 21 cm.

I look forward to the story where he becomes emperor, thanks for this piece.

I've kind of given up on the books, but he'll make a good emperor, I think! Thank you!

Fel!

As I've said before, Star Wars expanded universe is still rather poorly represented here on dA, and I'm glad you've been working to bring the EU to life in pictures. This is a gorgeous tribute to one of the most memorable characters of the first new generation. Love the action shot and the clawcraft in particular!

Thanks, I'm glad you like this! We do need more EU art. Especially since so much of the official art is so... mediocre.

Wow, there's so much to see! I admire your skill with straight lines and machinery. It's amazing that you pull off those as well as faces.

SvenjaLiv In reply to Steffel [2012-04-04 17:46:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I quite like drawing machinery, as long as I have a reference. Without references it's a nightmare. Thank you very much!

That's awesome! I love the logo and background colours I've watched the Star Wars films so many times - I could recite them line for line, but I've never read any of the books! I think I should give them a try

SvenjaLiv In reply to IbalissiArt [2012-03-08 13:12:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Glad you like it. The books are hit and miss, to be honest, since they're all written by different authors. If you ever want to try them, I can give you some recommendations about what to start with and what to avoid!

OOOOO!! LOVE this--and what a great compilation of images--his favorite fighter, his straight-out guts (the blasting-away pose!) and his thoughtful, intellectual side (the portrait...those "pale green eyes..." **melts** ). Great composition (the arrangement and energy pull us neatly across to the outstanding portrait), wonderful background that ties it all together, marvelous palette... I'm running out of superlatives, lol! It's going right into s, dear--fantastic piece!

This is great! I might have been a closet Jaina/Jag supporter all along but this may get me to throw my lot in. I love your EU illustrations: they're so vivid and really look like they could come from the SW universe. You should try your hand at at getting paid for sketch cards or something! Great composition. Also, the sketchy buildings and designs in the background of the lower part work really well to fill that space.

SvenjaLiv In reply to Nemonus [2012-03-06 19:43:54 +0000 UTC]

Woo hoo, welcome aboard the ship bandwagon! ... wait. Uh. Anyway, yeah, Jag's kinda grown on me over the years. I didn't like him at all when they first introduced him, now I love him. Thanks so much for that, that's really kind of you! I'd love to do sketch cards, I just have no idea how to get involved with that. I'll have to look into it. I'm glad you like this anyway!

markstewart [2012-03-06 17:56:49 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic drawing, the composition and colours are great. I do recognize the clawcraft which looks pretty cool as well and all freehand which makes it even more special. Congratulations
