I found this awesome wallpaper of Kylo Ren while browsing the internet for Star Wars content and I just fell in love with it so I decided to animate it for my “Edit A Day” project. I actually really like how it came out, too.
What do you think?
Here’s the original high definition image:
And the animated version:
I felt like doing something I haven’t done in a while and that is edit comic covers. I’ve edited quite a few comic covers in the past because I like removing the text and looking at the image behind it (if you know what I mean). Sometimes the text can really overshadow a beautiful piece of art. I’ve found that most covers get the variant edition treatment (not all but some do) and the artwork is produced without text already which is awesome. But sometimes, this doesn’t happen and I like to practice my editing by removing the text.
I am probably going about it the wrong way but it seems to work OK for the stuff I’ve done in the past. I’ve made some really nice motion art out of some covers as well like this one of Darth Vader which is one of my favourites. I always credit the original artist when I make motion art out of their artwork and everytime I’ve done this, I’ve been given really good feedback, sometimes from the artist’s themselves. This is what keeps me going, really, when people enjoy what I do.
So here are a couple I did today because I love Obi-Wan and Anakin together. Checking Star Wars Fandom dot com, I don’t see textless variant versions of these covers at all so that’s a bonus! Now they are both Textless. I think I might make some motion art out of Cover H because it’s beautiful.

I managed to get a lot of edits and GIFS / motion art done over the period I was on holiday and it was really good. I hardly get any time to just create stuff like that normally during the working week.
So here’s a few more I did yesterday and the day before:
Just posting my latest GIFs and image edits because I have time to do them 🙂

I mentioned this comic cover earlier and my partner told me that these comics are the ones that will be replacing the comics that were going to be written by Chuck Wendig who was fired by Marvel and went public with the announcement on Twitter. Whatever the situation, I am extremely intrigued by the title – Star Wars: Vader — Dark Visions. Nobody better to flagship this limited comic book series than the Darkest Prince – DARTH VADER!
In celebration of this wonderful Star Wars goody coming our way, I made an edit of the cover because badass!
Here’s the final edit I uploaded to social media – turned out OK I think!
I’ve been making things inbetween thinking about my fanfic, so far the thinking part is fine but it’s the writing down and fleshing out the ideas part that isn’t. So I’ve decided to keep things focused on Star Wars imagery to help me visualise what I need to write. The good news is I have a two week holiday coming up like most people do for the holidays, so I’ve decided that will be the best time for me to create the rest of the plot for my fanfic. I need to decide if the story is worth picking up from what I’ve already written OR if it will just be easier for me to write a brand new fic with maybe a few ideas taken from the original. Being a sporadic writer, it’s a bigger challenge for me to actually write. I struggle when I don’t feel inspired and even though many famous writers say that this is the most crucial time to write, I fail at doing this. If I don’t feel it, I can’t fake my way through creating a character or a scene. It’s not that I am not dedicated enough, it’s that I just can’t force creativity when there’s nothing to create with or from in the first place.

There’s a whole heap of new Marvel star wars comics releasing soon which follow the three areas of the films – The Prequel Trilogy, the Original Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy called Age of Republic, Age of Rebellion and Age of Resistance. As well as those we have the rest of Darth Vader’s story and I really couldn’t move past this beautiful variant cover by Gabrielle Dell’Otto. I decided to make some edits – here’s the original: Continue reading → Star Wars Post – Marvel Star Wars Darth Vader 025 variant cover
