Hey, took me a while to leave a comment, but I finally did it! :) I really need to say that I'm happy Bastila Shan topped the poll, in spite my vote went to a different character. Indeed, your depiction of Bastila is excellent and I find the resulting work is even better than your previous work on Trilla which in my opinion had been your best SW-related work (that is until Bastila Shan!). I really like the color scheme here and the way you painted her face is great. Also, nice work on the pose which manages to be at the same time fitting both as an action pose and a pinup-kind-of pose. Lovely! :)

Thank you very much Ciarán for your positive feedback!💙💙💙

Hooooo boy! Now this is positively stunning! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻 These colours are gorgeous, I love the blazing fire effects for the background with that white-hot centre behind Bastila, the image has a fantastically warm and radiant feel with the yellows, oranges and browns throughout, which means that Bastila's cool blue eyes really pop against it all. Seriously, thanks to the colour contrasts, I can't help but immediately look towards those gorgeous blue eyes of hers, they're utterly captivating 💙💙 The pose is wonderfully dynamic and sensual with the overall curve running through her body as she arches her back and raises her arms, while the voluptuous forms of her breasts being pushed forward and hips being rounded as her thighs close together look divine. I always enjoy poses where the arms are raised and the cloth that falls down behind her shoulders adds a nice dynamic feel to the pose, especially as one of them is curling inwards. The brown fabric that runs down the centre of her body too really accentuates that curving motion as she arches her back and elongates her torso. And goodness, I am absolutely in love with her face! She looks so beautiful with captivating and bright eyes with softly rendered features that just look gorgeous. Her hair too is amazing with the overlapping and sweeping shapes, while the strands of hair that split off and curl around her face make her look even more cute, endearing and sexy. The clothes are very well painted too with the many folds that collect at her elbows, shoulders and pelvis, as well as all of the detail with overlapping shapes near her neck, and all the little touches at her belt and puches. While the nude version is also equally well done with so much detail added to her anatomy, her muscular figure is amazing! She looks simultaneously sensual and voluptuous while also having an amazing statuesque figure. I especially enjoy her abs and obliques, as well as her pecs as they stretch and reach towards her shoulders, and having her breasts actually lift and point upwards as she raises her arms is great attention to detail. Brilliant work on this radiant, vibrant and beautiful painting! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 (Seriously that face is stunning and those eyes are mesmerising! 💙💙)
