And since I know you won't read a second paragraph about Star Wars since there are pictures, I won't write one. Just check these out, for God's sake... seriously. And enjoy, of couse. Cheers! ;)
Some artists get really famous for some concepts they come up with. Actually, a person might not even actually come up with a concept, but if a certain artwork of that artist gets attention, usually people will say that any other artwork from other artists that come after that is a mere copy. Although it is important to acknowledge original artists, it's a fact that their pieces become inspiration to others. Inspiration is out there, and IMO it's impossible to say that styles are property of people.
Today I am changing a bit of the focus of the posts to focus strictly on the much anticipated launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Opening in theaters here in the US tomorrow, I felt compelled to celebrate the latest chapter in Star Wars history. In lieu of posting regular fan art I had to post about the work that Marko Manev posted which merges another of my passions, Noir style. The artworks are quite inspiring, simple, elegant and of course noir. Marko Manev, born 1985 in Skopje, Macedonia is a conceptual mixed-media artist, graphic designer & illustrator.
Star Wars inspires designers everywhere to come up with fantastic artworks. We've seen many great pieces like posters, statues, CG artworks and more, but I really love seeing gifs inspired by this universe. Here's a brief selection of some fantastic little gifs made by some really talented folks. For more of their work, simply click each image! In their portfolios you'll find much more great gifs. I hope you enjoy these! Cheers. ;)
Since the entire Star Wars franchise was sold to Disney, we've seen many news about the upcoming Episode VII movie. The original actors are most likely to be back and I think now it's a good time to get in the mood for more of this amazing universe. What would you like to see in the theaters? Expanded Universe stories or original script? I would love to see something from the expanded universe for sure! Now, these illustrations were done by really talented artists. For more of their art, please visit their portfolio simply by clicking each image. Enjoy! Cheers. ;)
