Artist's Comments

Star Wars cover, done for Dark Horse Comics. I really enjoyed doing this, which is rare for me. I do loves me my STAR WARS, mm-boy.

I cannot believe Lucasfilm let me show a dead Jedi Knight with a severed limb.

Funny story: I just threw this gal in because I needed a dead Jedi, so I used a design that I created for a Wizards of the Coast SW role-playing back in 2000. I figured that since i brought her into the world, I could take her out.

Well! Turns out you can't make a move in the SW without it being 'in continuity' so they simply HAD to write her into the comic, and give her death a spotlight scene, which was cool.

Only, one thing baffled me. In the comic, Vader stabs her through the heart with his lightsaber, THEN cuts her hand off. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.... in MY mind, Vader would disarm her first by cutting off her sword-hand, THEN deliver the killing stroke.

Comics is crazy business.

Maybe I'll post the game art here soon, so everyone can see who I created then slaughtered.

Here's the game art!

This is simply one of my favorite STar Wars pieces. The detail on the hole and the severed hand, the color of the room, everything. Superb! Thank you for your art Mr. Hughes.

well...in swordplay who knows what the killing blow is really...maybe he thought she may block this n before he could stop himself SLICE! but yeah not much sense beyond that...^^;

i do admire the cloak and how liquid and alive you gave the feel to it specially with the diagonal angle! :D
