Thanks, his invasion scenes are great I never actually knew it was the same person. I also have a few more quality walls I will post later once I get them offloaded from my PC.

On a secondary note to this topic I also have all of the stormtrooper day/year off in max resolution which I can find a host to upload to if you are interested in a great wallpaper cycle. Here is the set which alternatively you can download yourself.

I was trying to download the others from the flickr page but can't seem to do it. Can someone pull them and post on here for us?

It comes out to about 2-3GBs if i remember correctly, there is a utility out there that I used that will download an entire flickr users pictures in the highest resolution. It took me a day to get his all downloaded and the stormtroopers were at the end, i think I pulled down 5-7GB of pictures, this was a while ago so I don't remember details.

Ok, I guess I'll be the one to call out the elephant in the room.

 

Isn't the 1st pic not screen-accurate? Black bubble lenses,stripes, and teeth on the Tantive?

 

But seriously, all great and amazing pics. It's kinda hard to choose which one to put on my desktop :D

Yeah, that's why I didn't order it. There is also...

 

A really beautiful painting called "The Fallen" with Vader on the deck of the Tantive IV holding a saber with a rebel on the floor, flanked by TK's. Alas, the TK's have FX helmets. :-p

 

A nice collectible by Gentle Giant with Boba leading Han in carbonite with TK's escorting. Alas, they are ANH TK's!

 

You'd think the artists who are so talented would check the details. It doesn't take much effort on their part and would certainly cause some to buy when they would otherwise not.

 

(OK, maybe it's just me?)

No, it is not just you, Paul.

 

 

A buddy of mine is a good friend of Christian Waggoner the Artist of the paintings "Stromtrooper" "Vader" "Greedo" "Boba". When he found out that Christian had been commissioned to do some paintings for LFL, my buddy, knowing that I was a big SW fan, showed me the article about Christian talking about his love of SW starting at a very early age. He was drawing his favorite SW characters and he felt that it catapulted him to become an artist. After awhile, my buddy arranged for me to meet him and see his finished work.

 

After seeing them, I was rather disappointed in a few of them,(The Stormtrooper and Vader paintings). Since the Stormtrooper was rendered incorrectly for the ANH TK and the Vader wasn't the ANH Vader , but was depicting the duel between him and Obi Wan. Christian ask me what I thought about his work and did I think I would buy them. I told him I believe that he is a talented artist, and I loved the concept, but I didn't think he had done his homework, especially since he was a SW fan from the beginning, when it came to being accurate. For that reason, I wouldn't buy the Vader and Stormtrooper art. Believe me he wasn't happy with me not gushing over them. I know how someone who has put time and effort into a project feels when they receive harsh criticism, but most artist should have an eye for detail.

 

Here is Christian Waggoner's art:
