Artist's Comments

Here's the pencils, final art, and then CSI crime scene shot of the poor Jedi girl. Here's the link to the final cover:

Hmmm. Haven't looked at this in years. There's some charm in the pencils that's lost in the final character art...

The death scene is powerful and affecting (and horrific), and I really like the delicate Art Nouveau feel of the character pieces. I especially love the costume design, it has a Victorian/Edwardian feel. Really nice.

I love the design~

And poor girl, the feel of the piece is really dark and mean.
I feel for her.

I think she was killed by some sort of laser weapon, do we have a test for that grissom?

Inspiring art as always.

Isn't it always like that Adam? You bust your butt on pencils and colors, only to find the colors take away that extra something? ... Thankfully I'm not the ony one with that problem lol. I still love this cover too. It's a cut above the rest (pardon the pun). There's only maybe three of four Charest KOTOR covers that go right up with this one.

i agree... an inked and colored drawing is great but in the pencils there always is some charm as you say, it's like i can "read" the drawings...

Great rendering and composition.

Super-nitpicky CSI analysis: Given that the severed hand is so close to the wrist, the victim was most likely already on the ground when it was cut off. However, the absence of a burn mark in the floor contradicts this. Perhaps there are other Forces at work?

It was good to see that the actual fight in the comic made sure that she got the same injuries depicted on your cover. Now, the question is, which came first in production? :D

Looks incredible and it's great to see a little of the development of the project. Great scene on the last panel
