Shabby Blue

Shabby Blue is the online moniker of the erotic artist and erotic writer whose erotic artwork and erotic fiction are central to the erotica canon and Legends erotica universes. A prolific creator in the Star Wars Erotica community since 1993, he is the founder of the Star Wars Erotica Forum, and hosts his artwork on his Indigo Creations website.

Early career (1993–1998)
"This gallery showcases most of the early erotic Star Wars art I did between 1993 and 1998. A lot of it is amateur in style, both in drawing and coloring, and some of it I'm even embarrassed to show because it looks so pathetic in quality."

Shabby Blue began producing Star Wars Erotica art in 1993, creating what is now known as his Older Star Wars Art series. One of his first works of erotic art is SBCHEWIE - Chewie and Leia, created in late 1993, which originated his popular Chewie's Reward scenario. Shabby has since criticized much of his earlier work, referencing his relatively undeveloped drawing skills and likening his coloring style to drawing with crayons, and went on to remake many of his early ideas. During this period, he experimented with a cartoonish, anime style before reverting to his more realistic approach, and created his first magazine cover parody&mdash;SBLINGERIE - Flyboy: Bespin Lingerie&mdash;which would inspire his Magazine Covers Series.

Among Shabby's favorite early images were those he felt could "logically fit into the films without contradicting events or character personalities", such as SBPEEK - Ewok Peek, equating these concepts with imaginary "cut scenes" removed to keep the films rated PG rather than being R-rated. He has also voiced satisfaction for concepts such as Leia Organa being stripped out of her Boushh disguise in SBBOUSHH - Boushh Revealed, similarly considering it a potential glimpse at a scene beginning "where the film leaves off". He also began using likenesses of actresses and other famous figures for several characters, beginning with a depiction of Michelle Pfeiffer as Winter in SBWINTER2 - Winter Portrait Sketch.

His coloring quality continued to improve by the end of his Older Star Wars Art series in 1998 with SBDASH1 - Dash's Incentive, Part 1, SBDASH2 - Dash's Incentive, Part 2, and SBPINUP - Slave Leia Pinup. He began touching up his images with Photoshop to give them a more professional quality, and decided to organize and name his works to suit.

Yearly series (1999–2007)
"In late 1998 I started to improve my drawing and coloring when I began touching up the colored drawings and enhancing them in Photoshop to give the pictures a more professional look. I decided to start naming these new, better looking pics in an organized series for 1999."

Having improved his art quality, Shabby transitioned into releasing yearly artwork series beginning with the 1999 Series, each collecting new, better-looking images in an organized series with serialized labels in addition to their individual titles. His 1999 Series continued his work with Original Trilogy characters, and the latter set of images focused on Expanded Universe characters and scenes. He also delved into the Prequel Trilogy with SHAB99C - Prequel Preview, wanting to be the first to create erotic art of Queen Amidala following the release of the second trailer for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace in January 1999.
