I will also be featuring remakes of other great artists images as part of theis story being a tribute to all things SW and it many fans.
See, that's what inspiration is. Not copying, but taking something that's good (toyogub) and morphing it to something of your own. I'm really looking forward to this, especially since you have the right attitude about others work, which feels like you really respect other artists.
