for the evil emperor, you have a LOT of unused space on the left side. i'd crop that down, and then maybe even scale down the sword so the whole picture's proportional and whatnot.

You could add a dead guy impaled on something on the left. that would add some evilness to your emperor

Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

Forgive this noobish question but what program did you use/reccomend using for artwork pics and all that...I've been wondering for awhile.

Yes exactly :D but it is not as difficult as you may think.
The Trooper is one of my first pictures that i drew with Gimp.

I think that I would prefer to do it by hand. Did you have a tablet to work with? If not, then I commend you. And you give me hope, since my mouse skills are teh suck. These are great, keep up the good work. :)

Hey, I've GOT a tablet and I couldn't do as good a job as that. Kudos on the artwork!

I did a "trace & mod" of Mike's minifig outline for Indiana Jones. I did the work for this in MSPaint, and then touched it up a little in Gimp. This'll probably be the way that I do all of my hero cards... which means that they'll all be in pretty much the same pose.
:lol:

I know, I know... I'm missing the holster on his leg. The picture that I nabbed offline to do this had it removed, so I didn't even realize it until it was too late. Oops!
