Last of the Breed...For Now...

This will be the last of the series of Star Wars drawings for now. I've decided to move on to different subjects. Perhaps I'll return to the saga at some point, I don't know. This is a drawing I did of Princess Leia and her mother, Padme. The idea behind this is that both of the women have now passed away, and have reunited in the Netherworld of the Force. This is an image of them as spirits. Similar to how Obi-Wan appeared before Luke in Return of the Jedi.

It has also been added to my 'originals' gallery.

Top 9 of 2006 - Con't....with 2 more...

#5 V for Vendetta

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

Enough said.

#4 Eight Below

I know what you're thinking...A Disney movie with a bunch of sled dogs...how good can that be? Pretty freakin' good if you ask me. This film was based on a true story about a man who worked as guide in Antarctica. His companions were his 8 sled dogs. Seeing as how, I'm a dog-lover myself, this film really hit home for me. In the last year, I lost one of my dogs. So, it took me a while to get up the courage to see this movie because I knew what it was about. Paul Walker's character is forced to leave the research station in Antarctica in emergency, due to medical reasons. The rest of team leaves as well on account of bad weather. The eight dogs were consequently left behind. Hence the title: Eight Below. The story involves Paul Walker's character's quest to return to Antarctica and rescue his companions. Great film. And I don't care how manly you are...you better keep the Kleenex nearby.

Top 9 of 2006 - Almost there....

#6 Cars

It didn't take home an Oscar this year, but I thought it was another achievement from Pixar. I had fun watching this film. Mater was hilarious. And the tractor-tipping? Now, that's funny stuff. Example I'm not a big fan of Nascar, but I do love cars in general. This film seemed to touch on all the fabrics of cars, whether it was Nascar or just back-in-the 60's style cruising. Good movie.
