very cool ! I like how you got Ben’s saber the correct color and the more subdued tones on the aliens …I think if you add in a little more reflected light, as from the overhead apparatus ,onto the figures , as well as some suggesting of more shadows it would be perfect .

Yeah, I figured the same thing and added some proper shading to the aliens on the left. I find adding reflected light hard to do so I only added it to Chalmun (I guess that’s who it’s supposed to represent), but I figured the aliens looked fine the way they were (maybe I’ll try changing that later).

I also had to adjust the contrast so that all the shadows were properly black. It looked a little weird in the first version as you could see colour smudges all over the muted shadows (it actually reminded me of how old comics used to look). The contrast altered the line art a tiny bit and made the bright areas a little “grainier”, but overall I think it works pretty well.

also , A lot of original Infantino pages without color at this link …would love to see how you would color them !..http://www.comicartfans.com/SearchResult.asp

I had the same idea and I’ve already started to google clean Infantino art. I might add the Classic Star Wars logo to them just for fun.

I’ll post links to it whenever I get around to it.
(I also have to finished that text-less version of issue #25 that I said I was going to do a few weeks ago.)
