BIO
Short Bio: Fantasy Artist Uwe Jarling was born in 1968. After graduating with a diploma degree in graphic design 1991 he worked as a illustrator and graphic designer further on. His first works were countless covers for videos, books, ... and many technical and architectural illustrations for advertising agencies. An important step in his further development followed in 2000 where he started to develop his "Fantasy Artwork" more seriously and did his first attempts creating his art on a computer. Since 2003 almost all of his work is painted digitally for clients all over the world mainly in the Fantasy Art genre. Uwe lives and works in a little village in the south of Germany. Tools used: Fantasy Artist Uwe Jarling is a traditional artist using traditional media like oils, watercolors and mainly gouache, but the last years he did the step into creating his art digital. The last 3 years 98% of his images are created using digital tools. Uwe experimented with several digital tools 3d as well as 2d. For 3d he experimented with 3d max, Poser, Vue, Bryce and more nice 3d applications, but as it doesn�t fit him too well he decided to work mainly using 2d digital tools. For his 2d digital images Uwe uses mainly the software Painter, currently version 9, so most of his paintings are now done with Painter. For color corrections of his images or several effects Uwe uses Photoshop. All his latest images are done using Painter 9 and some Painter 9 and Photoshop CS in combination. Uwe currently �paints� on a Macintosh G5 using a pressure sensitive Wacom tablet.
Uwe was voted for January�s 2006 Renderosity Artist of the Month. Read the AOM interview here:

A wonderful visual trip through the Star Wars adventures. Love the composition, striking colors and great attention to detail. I don't mind Luke's face at all, kind of adds a little mystery to the entire image. Good art, old or new, stands the test of time. Excellent art and always a joy to view your work, past and present. :o)CC

What? You were that good already 15 years back??? Oh god...hids shamefaced And Luke's face - some could see it philosophical somehow...you know with Darth Vader as his Dad....he could have been fallen to the dark side too...I mean... Loved SW too..sighs fondly

Star wars changed the mind of one generation back to the late 70's and early 80's. It encouraged wild imagination out of this world. Great remembrance Uwe. Fantastic job.

This is an awesome tribute to the Star Wars series. Love how you eased all the characters in.. I also wish R2 and C3PO were in it, but it's an incredible piece of art...even if it was from 15 yrs ago!

Very cool backward trip through time. I remember when the movie first came out, I went to see it like 17 times, lol.
Wolfsgirl
Outstanding work!!!! Fasinating!!!! =0
L.W. Perkins
My favorite movie too;-) This is nice but I can see where you have gotten to be more confident in making portraits now. But Yoda came out very nice and the compostition and color is super as always. I'll be glad when you have a little time to do a new personal art piece!
