Han&Leia art!

[leelastarsky]

This was commissioned by may_child



An older Han&Leia based on Harrison and Carrie as they look now. :~) (with a little artistic licence taken to smooth out some of Harrison's lesser wrinkles. ;~) )



Photoshop all the way. ;~)





On a completely different note, I just wanted to add that it's 40 freaking degrees again and it's completely and utterly UNCIVILISED!!

Just beautiful, Leela. Your Leia here very closely resembles current-day Carrie in build and facial features. SOOO nice. Shelley is a lucky gal.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Sue! Shelley gave me a pic of Harrison and Carrie, which was relatively recent, that she wanted it modelled on. I think she's posted a link to it further down in the comments. :~)

I love this!

I really like the idea of them growing old together - and so beautifully.

[may-child.livejournal.com]

I like your icon. I've always been fond of that particular Han/Leia kiss (although I've noticed that Han/Leia fans tend to overlook it); it's so cute, and sweet, how he picks her up and swings her around.

[belovedranger.livejournal.com]

Ah, they look lovely as ever together - maybe even better than when they were young? : )

I particularly love the detail work in their hair!! And of course, those loving looks.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Linda! Leia's hair was particularly fun to do. :~)

Another beautiful piece of work...but then again, I would never expect anything less from you. Great job, Leela!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! I'm glad you liked it! :~)

Nice :) I always enjoy seeing Star Wars pics, especially tender scenes like this;

Still, on another note, now all we need is a family scene... preferably the one where Jacen informs them that they're grandparents... :D

[may-child.livejournal.com]

I don't know what Leela's view on the EU is, but I don't personally consider it to be a genuine continuation of SW. So as far as I'm concerned, there is no Jacen.

I definitely see Han and Leia having a few kids -- and I see them naming a son Bail, not Anakin. That never sat well with me; Bail raised Leia and was her father in every way that mattered. And I never liked the idea of them having twins, nor that all of their kids turning out to be SuperJedi. I would like to see at least one of their kids not be Force-sensitive.

WOW! i love it!!! :) Any way we out here can get a copy of the work?
H/L are of course my faves
Wonderful job!!
take care
Johanna

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Well, as may_child paid for this painting, any sort of copies would have to be through her. ;~)
Glad you liked it, Johanna. :~)

*sigh*

So very, very beautiful! Thank you, Leela!

I love the detail in Leia's dress and hair. And setting it on Coruscant -- perfect!!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

So glad you're happy with it, Shelley! :~D

[merkuria-lyn.livejournal.com]

*sighs happily*

So pretty... :-)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :~D

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. So beautiful. :)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! :~)

[tehlils.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is utterly beautiful. ♥

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! :~D

*sniff*

My all time favourite movie couple. So lovely. You do an amazing job in showing gentle emotion and the affection in your pictures, and the years together comes through beautifully, I still note an impish element on Leia's face though! :D And I just have to gawp...just *gawp*...at the level of detail on her dress and hair absolutely awesome Leela.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou for your lovely comments! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :~D

[sreya.livejournal.com]

Oh, WOW, that's just gorgeous! The detail in the hair style and the dress - and the sparkly shawl...

I'm also quite fascinated by the wedding ring on Leia's hand, as well. Everything's so beautiful!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Sreya! It's wonderful to hear that the little details are appreciated. :~)

[owl]

This is beautiful! I love the green lighting, and Leia's hairstyle—that must have taking a lot of work! It's kind of Padmé-esque :D Actually, the pic also made me think of Aral and Cordelia from the Vorkosigan series. I think it's the elaborateness and deep colours of the clothing.Mmm, Han looks good in velvet...

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I definitely had Padme's wardrobe in mind while I was painting Leia's! But, when I came to Han, I knew he would draw the line at anything too fancy. ;~)

[luckycyberbunny.livejournal.com]

awww!!! old people! lol.k... that is nice!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it despite the...old people. ;~\

[aerynstales.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely stunning! You've captured them both perfectly, and I can't gawp enough about the utter detail you've put in! I adore Leia's hair (*wants the hair accessory*) and you can see the fabric! And Han...still dashing after all these years, and Leia still sparkly eyed. You can feel the love between them and that it's only gotten stronger.

Excellen piece!

[may-child.livejournal.com]

The art is based on this photograph, taken at the 2002 BAFTA awards where Lucas was honored:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/May_Child/harrisoncarrie.jpg

When I saw the photo, I thought that it would be a great inspiration for "Han/Leia as an older, married couple" art. Of course, Harrison and Carrie aren't a married couple in real life, but they are extremely good friends and quite fond of each other.

As you may notice, in the photo, Harrison isn't looking at Carrie's eyes, so I asked Leela to "fix" that in the art. :-)

[violet_quill]

Ooooooh that's so beautiful!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! :~)

[harpinred.livejournal.com]

I had to stare at this for about ten minutes with a happy smilie on my face before I could even think about commenting.

Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it.

Thank you so much for sharing!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! :~D

[stiffyb.livejournal.com]

absolutely stunning.
Leia looks amazing.

wonderful job.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it. :~)

Han and Leia

[moonsong18.livejournal.com]

This one is really good too. I've always liked Star Trek and Star Wars, and now Harry Potter. I know you don't do arts of Star Trek, but that doesn't matter. Any of these are so cool.

Re: Han and Leia

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

I used to do pics of Star Trek... many yrs ago. ;~) Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

[aquarius-1977.livejournal.com]

Again, Leela, you continue to stun and amaze me! This is among the most beautiful pieces you've done. I love it!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, and I forgot to ask, how long did that take you to do?

[suehypno.livejournal.com]

Oh my god....

You know, for a very long moment there you made me miss the old days...

Your work is always fantastic, no matter what genre, but it's the rare Han/Leia ones like this that still melt my heart. And your skill and techniques only increase with each piece. Stunning.

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, Sue! :~D

[miss-rina.livejournal.com]

Leela, this is *awesome*. I love the level of details -- I love Leia's gown, I love the colours in their hair, I love Leia's hair, I love Harrison's jacket, I love how I can totally picture this happening. Beautiful!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Kirana! So glad you enjoyed it! :~)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Absolutely loving it, babe. It's gorgeous, intimate, adorable!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Nancy! Great to hear you enjoyed it. :~D

[yanksfan.livejournal.com]

Awwww.....yaaaay! *wags tail happily*

This is beautiful! Oh, wonderful!!! They both look fantastic, but for some reason what really sticks out for me is Leia's top. It's soo cool looking!

Oh, this is fantastic, Leela. Great to see some new Han/Leia art. :)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Yanksfan! It's been nice to dip a toe back into the old fandom. Like slipping into a comfy pair of shoes. ;~D

I love it!

[lenaorgana.livejournal.com]

That's amazing!

As usual, your H/L art is dead-on in likeness to Harrison and Carrie. The colors and the texture of the fabrics are so pretty.

Photoshop...gotta love that program. ;)
