Artist's Comments

This was a commission for someone who requested an R2...back at the end of 2006! I am nothing if not timely. *groan*

Sometimes characters give me trouble. Sometimes I'm just not feelin' it. So I give it go for a bit, think it sucks, and let it alone for a time. I'll come back to it later and give it another shot. Nope, still sucks. Let it go again. This goes on, sometimes for weeks. Sometimes for months. I'm thinking I shouldn't even take commissions sometimes. I don't like saying no, but sometimes it's better than having people wait for damn near two years!

As for R2 here...I'm glad I kept at it, 'cause I actually kind of like how he turned out. Hope you all like it!

He looks great! You would think his little metal head wouldn't lend itself to being Heads Upped, but it worked.

Thanks, my friend! And you WOULD think it wouldn't work...and it didn't. Not for a looooong time. I've got half a sketch book devoted to crappy renderings of him. I had 3PO, so I had to have R2, but damned if I could get him to look like I wanted him to look! The secret was perspective. I was messing around with him last week, and instead of a downward curved bottom (as I have on most of the Heads Up), I turned it up on the bottom. It made me look at him differently, and it was done in about an hour! Weird how a little thing like that can make all the difference. :D

"Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint."
"And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?"
"That's not bad."

Where's the 3PO?

Now that you have both R2 and 3PO , you'll need to do one with them together.
