Welcome to Art Roundup, where we pick a different comics character each week, and spotlight them in the way of rad fan art and creations, such as drawings/paintings, custom toys, cosplay, and more. This week’s spotlight is on Princess Leia, in honor of her fab new comic that I’m so very excited exists.

I’m going to start this up with this lovely piece by Chrissie Zullo, who portrays Leia in an art nouveau style.

Next up, here’s a rad cross stich of the princess. This image is already great on its own, but click through to the tumblr blog this lives in to see just how detailed and amazing it is with some close-up shots.

Harri Hakala drew some fan art of Carrie Fisher as she might look as Leia today. Badass, of course.
