The Emperor's Talon

"The Emperor's Talon Redux"

Many of you Star Wars fans out there probably recognize this character.  She is Darth Talon, a Sith Lord in the Star Wars comic books.  She of course wears more clothes than this in her normal appearances (but not much!)  This is actually a restored version of an older drawing I made back in 2008.  I decided that after 4 years of learning and growing as an artist, some of my older pictures could be touched up a bit and improved upon.  Though I always give my best effort, I am always limited by what I've learned at the time.

Going back and touching upon old works is not a new concept.  Whether to do it or not is up to the individual artist.  Most artists I know rarely revisit old works.  I believe revisiting past works can serve as insight into how far along we've progressed as artists.  For those of you who've seen the original version of this picture at my Deviant ART account here might already know this was my single most viewed image of the last 4 years (the original version is currently in storage on DA).  Over the coming weeks I plan on restoring a couple more of my older images.  The next one on the list involves a certain Ms. Judy Nails. :D
