Star Wars Episode VI Retold in Iconoscope


ITS DONE AT LAST!

At long last, after nearly a year of planning, illustration and design, the final part in the Iconoscope trilogy is complete, like the circle in that bit that Vader mentions when he meets Obi Wan in Episode IV to have a fight.

This was a biggie. The first Iconoscope was a single page of 32 line of icons - but then the story was actually quite simple, when you look at it. For Episode V, It took much longer to design and lay out, running double the length of the original - but there were many more costume changes, and plots that spanned multiple lines.

And then I started on Episode VI. Just thinking of it from memory, I recalled it to be a fairly straightforward story - there were the iconic scenes that everyone remembered, and some not so memorable ones too.

But then I watched it again, took some notes and started to list out everything that I would need to create the Iconoscope - and it went on... and on... and on...


Each character has multiple costume changes. The plot runs into 3 separate lines and constantly jumps between them. Vehicles, scenery, sub characters... It was a huge list.

But I started (not that long after I completed the last one) and began by illustrating all of the principle character icons, in all of the costume variations (including Leia in THAT bikini - which I did first as I'm not that stupid). Then, the secondary characters followed and so on.

It soon was clear that this was going to take a while... and here we are nearly a year on, and its finally finished.

I could have been ruthless with the editing down - cut it down to maybe two pages. But I put a lot of work into following the story as closely as I could, and in the end a lot actually happens in Episode VI.

So, apologies, but its run onto 5 PAGES!

So hope you like it - there'll be bits that are safe and familiar, some that hopefully will make you smile and others that might raise a few eyebrows. All I ask is, be merciful - remember that this is just a bit of fun and please don't argue about the tiniest of plot details that I may have missed / got wrong / not cared about.

Enjoy, one last time. As always, click each thumbnail to open the full sized version:

  10. Ha! Glad you picked up on the Charlie Brown 'grumble / angry' icon! Didn't think anyone else would spot it! Wish I could do posters, but just not viable with copyright infringement. I can't profit from these illustrations - they have to stay as Fan Art. Sorry

    However, Star Wars retold in Iconoscope, Episode VI, Image 2 of 5 appears to be a broken link.

    Please fix this broken link so we can enjoy your work as you intended :o)

  14. Hi Many thanks for the heads up on the broken link. I originally used ImageShack when I did these - no idea why the one image issnt loading. But since then, they're account structure has changed, meaning I can re-upload it. I found someone who is already hosting a high res image, and for now I've just linked to that.

  16. The price is 2915, source. In this case, you can request for a urine analysis to be retaken. You should also be aware that some medications can produce false positives, so do inform the tester if you are currently on any medication or over-the-counter drugs. Nowadays, urine tests are a part of pre-employment screening. Urine analysis is the easiest to overcome by flushing your system for the day with a detox drink or permanently with a detox kit. Hair testing is a simple procedure where 1.5 inches of your hair is taken directly from the scalp to draw comparative test results. With this, you can find out when the drug was used, for how long, and when its usage stopped. This test utilizes two tests to confirm a positive result. The first is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the second test is the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Although it can detect drug use for around 90 days, it does not show evidence of recent use because it can take about a week for the traces of THC to become visible in your hair. With this test, you can identify cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, opioids, methamphetamines, and phencyclidine (PCP). Blood tests are an invasive method that accurately detects THC (even weeks after use) in your system, and it is analyzed in a lab. It detects cocaine, marijuana, amphetamine, opiates, methamphetamines, nicotine, and alcohol 24 hours after drinking. Even if you take a quick puff, THC can be immediately identified in your system for one to seven days. For heavy smokers, the THC trace remains in your blood for quite some time and can be detected for up to two months. One of the most popular types of drug tests is saliva testing. Mouth swabs are used to collect a person’s saliva sample, or you are just asked to spit in a cup. It is a quick and affordable method of drug testing. It reveals alcohol, cocaine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine use within the past few days, except for marijuana, which is detected only for ten hours after use. Mouth swabs provide precise information mainly for very recent use — from a couple of minutes to about 48 hours.
