Are. Are you ok?

Do you... Do you need to talk to someone?

Maybe my dad... are you my dad?

Are You My Mother by P.D Eastman

I love that book, I read it all the time. It helps that I have a baby girl but I also just read it for myself.

Hopefully you also read “Love You Forever”, another beautiful classic.

The “Go the f**k to Sleep” trilogy is me for the same of the parents.

I'll look those up; the more the merrier. My all time fav is Millions of Cats by Wanda Gág

The KOTOR events are my favorite events in this game and what really got me hooked into playing long term. I just replayed the Revan events after the last update and got to see the opening cinematics again for the first time in awhile, and they hold up.

Nice. I've always been the most critical of these works because I was short on time and had to cut corners to get them done. But most people don't notice the rough edges, so it's all good.

Just curious, but how long does it typically take to make one of these (if done properly) and how long did you have to make these such that corners had to be cut?

They are all awesome, by the way. :)

I hate to say it depends but it does. If we're really in a rush and I have good content made by the 3D team that I can paint over, then I can get it done in 6 hours or less. If I'm doing everything from scratch (ie hand drawing the background and the character from approved Lucas reference), it can take me 8 to 16 hours depending on how much I have to do. The initial iteration phase can go pretty quickly, if we include Lucas in that phase it can take a week or two before I can get started. Iteration and feedback can add anywhere from 2 to 16 actual work hours on top of the initial work. It all depends on Lucas approval and internal review.

But if we're really really short on time and need to get something in ASAP then we've been able to turn these artworks around in 2 days from initial concept sketch to final illustration approved by Lucas.

Juhani was always on my team whenever I'd do a play through of KoToR on original xbox. This artwork is great and thank you for sharing so much with us lately! I have the Finalizer artwork as my phone unlock screen and sometimes I'll power it on just to stare at it for a min.

Nice, that one came out really good. Glad you like it.

Wow! That's an awesome peek behind the curtain! Thank you for that! I know for me, it would take about 10 years to come up with a drawing like that. 9.5 years to learn how to draw and 6 months to draw stuff marginally recognizable. I really appreciate what you do!

We'll a big part of doing this work quickly is all the intensive study and professional experience that came before. I'm sure if you spent 10 years practicing you might do better than you think.
