Why Was Padme's Lightsaber Purple?

A quick unrelated note: today's "Visit to Rancho Obi-Wan" is exactly the kind of feature I'd like to see on Hyperspace! Kudos to the staff.

Hello and welcome to Edition 3 of "WWPLP?"
Potential commenters keep in mind that I'm aware that the "real" Padme was not a Jedi, did not have a lightsaber, and it was not purple.
This is part of my project to create an alternative storyline for the Prequels, most likely in webcomic or comic book format.
You might do well to use that new navigation bar I put in at the top of the entry to go back and view previous entries if you missed them.

So just as I think I'm making some progress in my abillity to draw characters in the Clone Wars style... I discover ships are much harder :p

The inherant problem with drawing ships in the Clone Wars style is that they didn't draw them in the Clone Wars cartoons. They made 3D models and then animated and rendered them in that 3D program. After that they superimposed the rendered ships onto the usually traditionally drawn backgrounds.

Now perhaps I could do this myself. My current experience with 3D modeling is rather limited however and I'm not sure if I want to attempt to create custom 3D models for every ship I decide to use in the project.

So, for now, you get to be subjected to me trying to learn how to draw ships :p

I do fair enough work drawing ships that already have multiple sources to drawn on within the Clone Wars cartoon series... Creating new ships is an entirely different matter. Simply figuring out how the ship should look at an angle took a fair bit of time. Even after getting the angle to look half-decent on the angle/color scheme test picture... The ship looks highly oversimplified (even for the Clone Wars animation style) and it needs a neck to balance it out.

As before, all fan-fiction material needs to be posted off-site, so here are the images (if you dare gaze into the heart of doom) and below that you'll find the production diary.

I suppose I want to show the entire prosess of creating the project... Including falling flat on my face.
