Artist's Comments

I'd noticed the similarities between Jaina Solo and Kaylee (of Firefly) before, and the other day I came across a picture of Jewel Staite that just seemed shout "Jaina". So, naturally, I had to give it a try. I've changed the references I used quite a bit, so she doesn't look like Jewel anymore, and tried to give her more Leia-like eyes.

So here you have Jaina in her Jedi robes at the top, in an X-Wing cockpit at the bottom left, and fixing some piece of machinery in the Falcon at bottom right. The background is supposed to be inside the hangar bay of Yavin 4's temple, so you can see outside over her shoulder.

I was drawing outside, so at one point the wind blew the drawing into my pencil and Jaina got a nice line across her hair. :roll: I think I managed to fix it okay, though. Overall, I'm really pleased with how this came out, so I hope you like it too!

Media: Pencils on Bristol paper.
Time: 20 hours.
Dimensions: A4.
References: [link] along with stills from Serenity and Firefly, pictures of Leia, and shots of Wedge and Porkins in their cockpits.

I had just read a Firefly comic (Better Days), and when I saw this in my watchlist I immediately thought "Hm, am I crazy or does Jaina look a lot like Kaylee there?" :D

Great drawing, :+fav:.

lol Jaina-as-Kaylee! I really like how you draw her. I always was able to identify with her because of her wanting to be a pilot, and giving her such a realistic face helps with that.

Thank you very much! Yep, it did take some patience... especially when the wind messed it up on me! But it paid off I think. Thanks! :heart:

Haha, really? :D I don't know, Kaylee just reminds me of Jaina. Not just because they both love tinkering with spaceships either, but looks-wise...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! :w00t:

Oh, yeah, Jaina was my idol when I was 14 or 15. :giggle:

It's great to hear that this works for you--especially since you're a fan as well. Thank you so much for the kind comments! :hug:
