It has been much too long since I made a piece of fan art of The Cramp Twins, but if you've been following me over the years, you might understand. Call me a Winkle, because I've slept on this for light years. (A Rip Van Winkle if you will).

You may find this a lot different from my previous fan art of the cartoon series, that's because this one was coloured digitally *gasp*. Yeah, if you've followed my work in the past; you'll know I've always done them in traditional mediums. But I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try to emulate how the tones and colours looked in the TV series. Besides, it's not like this is my first foray into digital art.

This was originally from a series of studies I've done for a Cramp Twins project I've been doing for a long while now. I depicted Lucien as a Jedi knight and Wayne as Darth Maul; as a way to play around with the characters in a different genre. Also, I've been meaning to do a Star Wars spoof drawing with both these characters, back when I was in that phase of creating so much Cramp Twins fan art.

It was a time in my youth when I was reminiscing on both the books and the tv series, just to show my appreciation for them. These and the Cramp Twin videos are probably what got me recognised online. Considering the position I'm in, you might think I've become nostalgic for my fan nostalgia. That I'm just desperate to recapture that momentum, to fall back on the old song and dance. Well, no I'm trying to move on and sort my stuff out. This was just done for fun is all. But it's only part of a bigger pet project with the technicolored twins.

I've always hoped that the circle of Cramp Twins fans would grow bigger someday, if that's the case, was I responsible for that? If I've raised awareness for this cartoon, if I've helped jogged people's memories of it, if I've changed the consensus of it; than I know I've done right. But that's only half the battle. It's a hill that I'll die on, because if people have been re-evaluating 'The Phantom Menace'; maybe many will do the same for this.
