STAR WARS Folder 
my first SW 11*14 piece
a composition on the theme of Padme's furenal for a client.
Death isn't the End means that even with her death, Padme's children will shape the future. It's also a glimpse of a life after death where Anakin is present with her as a memory of better days.

Let me start by saying this- You are and incredible artist with an incredible talent. I have not seen Star Wars art as breathtaking as yours for a while.
You captured the emotion behind this piece with flying colours, successfully representing the tragic and yet steadfast bond between Anakin and Padme. The vision is complete perfection, great originality. Technique-I love the candles, they really add feeling to the picture. I also like the way you merged the two scenes together, telling viewers that their love will endure forever.
I am stunned by this piece. Expect a watch from me. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Super Relistic, Extremely emotional, I couldn't ask for more... Just saying! This Stunning piece is stuck in mind! You can really put emotion into your work! Really great, again. I don't know how to say anymore words! I am just plain speechless, so right now I can just say +watch, +fav, and keep on going with your art! I can't wait to see more of your work!

As someone who has watched you for quite a while I have grown to expect and appreciate your wonderful work, but I must say now that with this piece you have simply blown me away!
First of all let's address the way you captured the emotions behind this piece. As everyone is aware of the love affair of Padme and Anakin was tragic from the start (at least from the viewer's perspective, since we already knew how it would end) and yet the pair fall in love and vow to live their life. In this piece I can see the love and commitment the give to each other. Additionally the viewer can feel both the peace in Padme's death, especially since as you mentioned in your artist's comments; she lives on through her children. It also portrays in a way how this one family shaped and changed a galaxy.
As for technique, I love the way you incorporate the two scenes together. Having both the obvious happy moment as well as the funeral scene creates and interesting balance and interaction that I rather enjoy. The use of the candles as the transition was a great touch because I can see the candles of something naturally occurring in both scenes.
One negative component to this piece is that Anakin's eyes appear a little dark in contrast to the lighter colors of the upper piece. But I found what I thought was your reference picture and you matched that perfectly, so I guess there is little you can do there. I will just interpret it as part of Anakin's transformation into the chosen one.
The details are extraordinary and the final result is breathtaking. Wonderful work and touchingly beautiful!

thank you very much for this nice critique! I didn't actually tought of the candles being used in both sad and happy moments, but that's very true. They can be romantic or sad and they are indeed the perfect blending element for both scenes. Anakin's eyes are in accordance to the ref image I used, and I especially put a lot of time in likeness for visage parts, so I believe they are right

That's what I figured in regards to the reference image; regardless it is evident you spend a lot of time on this and you did a magnificent job.
You are most certainly welcome!

The way you captured the emotions through thier eyes is fantastic; they go through like the actual characters likeness.
The details you put in this is nicely put. The shadeing and contrast you put into this is wonderful as well.
You can tell that you put a lot of effort into it and that is the best you can do.
The blending of the candles between the two different images is nicely done as well, how you made it go from one image to the other is just really great. However, the way you blended the candles, it just seems like you could have blended the candles horzontal a bit more thoroughly.
It's an all-in-all great job though.

Beautiful and emotionally true to the Wagnerian doomed love of the two characters.

Death isn't the end; they're together again in the afterlife. Padme and her son Luke are the perfect example of unconditional love. Padme's dying words "I know there's still good in him" helps explain why Luke thinks and acts the way he does and really shows how much he's like his mother.

Come to think of it this why her death was so tragic.. Because she lost all hope after she saw what anakin the only person she ever truly love had become she basically lost the will to live, and even still she believe that there was still good in him, which her son later prove bit still if think about it her death is probably one of the most tragic things in star wars
