Oh, nice, Lumy. I like this this. Great positioning of Maul. There's a wonderful sense of possession here, and the fact that he hide Palpatine's face makes him seem that much more menacing.

Sort-of-welcome-back:)

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

I mean the fact that *you* hide Palpatine's face. *facepalm* I miss my edit function.

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I feel kind of bad that I still haven't focused on his entire face... but eh, I have 3 prompts left :) Maul was fun too.

I'll update my other journal eventually (that one requires much more typing!)

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

And Maul is a lot easier to draw than Palpatine is, I expect.

Take your time:) The roboclaw needs love!

[luminations.livejournal.com]

He is!

The darn roboclaw gets nothing but love! Well...attention and "tough love" at least. But it gets massaged alot too. It's a very demanding body part!

[zigsternenstaub.livejournal.com]

A hedonistic roboclaw of the first order!

1) I have missed you! I hope you've been recovering smoothly, bb. ♥

2) This is awesome! I actually love that we can only see Palps from his mouth down - makes it kind of more ominous, you know? And you did a fantastic job with Maul. Yay!

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thanks M!!!! Good to seeya! Long rambly update to come soon...ish. Oh God I meant to start it today and here it is going on 9 and I haven't even. Hee.

And thanks for liking the pic too ♥

Awesome!

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Ambahhhh! *squishes* Thank you!

argh! Palpatine's smile is win. And his left hand curling around Maul's horn. So good. ^_^

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!! LOL your icon = 100% pure win

I stand in agreement about showing only Palpy's lower face --- just like in ESB, when we barely saw his features at all and that made it all the more creepy. Good glare to Maul!

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

Actually, is Maul happy about the attention he's recieving?

[luminations.livejournal.com]

I think he is. He's got the whole love/hate thing goin' on with Palpatine, his "daddy."

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

He looks very... focused. Now I have weird visions of Maul singing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfdW2A2_Itg)

*brain melts*

[notfromajedi.livejournal.com]

LOL perfect song!!

[pronker]

I'd have to say no. That's a glare that's unhappy over being fondled, a real Sithly dynamic between the two. Palpatine definitely dominates and Maul smoulders.

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's not too hard to make Palps look creepy, eh? :D

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

More of a challenge to make him non-creepy. The man oozes creepiness. Mmm. Palpy creepiness... ^_^

[notfromajedi.livejournal.com]

*stays logged in on this account to use CREEPY PEDO ICON*

Can he be non-creepy and still be our beloved Palpy???

[caffeinatedkate.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's kind of weird and creepy looking. Good picture of Maul. Good picture of old Palps' lower face too because even with just that you can still tell it's him. :)

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Kate! Glad old Palps is recognizable here :) Maul is kinda hard NOT to be recognizable.

(and I still owe you a drabble, I know! I haven't written all of them yet, and I still need to type up the ones I HAVE written, but all in due time...)

[caffeinatedkate.livejournal.com]

No hurry. Take it easy on the hand. :)

[luminations.livejournal.com]

You would have noticed it in saga_6 eventually :)

Thank you!! I'm glad all that comes through! Maul really doesn't have much personality in canon. A blank slate for Palpatine to manipulate especially since he took him in at such a young age.

I did it while I was in the splint, but I actually draw with the OTHER hand so it's all good ^_^

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thanks again ♥ Nah, it wasn't bad. It was fairly late in the 6-week period. I would have had more trouble if I was in the elbow-splint -- couldn't lean on that arm at all then! And at first I really didn't even want to be sitting upright at all. Just laid around with my arm up on a pillow.
