Description
A portrait of Princess Leia, from Star Wars. I always enjoyed the fact the she was a princess but wasn't all frou-frou and girly. Leia could kick butt and sling insults with the best of them! Random fact, but I share my birthday with Carrie Fisher, which I always thought was pretty fun.This was originally drawn with a brown colored pencil on watercolor paper and then I painted a series of ink washes using standard black ink. It gives me a helpful base to work from. I then scanned it and all of the coloring was done in Photoshop with my tablet.
You can see the uncolored version of this right here: [link]
Full view is strongly suggested.
Completed in April of 2006.
This is the third and final picture in my series of heroes from the classic Star Wars trilogy. These are the other two illustrations:
- Solo
- Skywalker

I have been missing Carrie Fisher a lot lately, and found this beautiful portrait in another's favorites here at dA...such a gorgeous portrait of Princess Leia! I couldn't agree more, that she was NOT the girly-girl, though she could glam with the best of them if it was required of her. She could shoot, command and give as good as she got! She was also a woman of incredible integrity--her word was her oath, and she never betrayed her values or honor. The expression here says all of that--a perfect representation of our beloved Leia. Love it so much!

Lovely! I love Leia! And miss Carrie Fisher. May she rest in peace. She died last Wednesday after being in the hospital from a heart attack.

Cool work! Ever since she was born as one of the NEW HOPES for the galaxy, Leia was destined to STRONGLY and FEARLESSLY lead and rally the newly formed REBEL ALLIANCE! and along with her JEDI potential, she stayed STRONG no matter WHAT!

This is just beautiful, amazing artwork!
Princess Leia is an awesome character (besides, it's refreshing to see a pic of her that's NOT in that metallic bikini. >__>)

I always liked that she was kickass, too. And the fact that you share your birthday with Carrie is awesome. (:
I can't offer much critique, apart from the fact that these are beautiful!
