So this was yet another Star Wars character that I was unfamiliar with until this assignment came along. I was asked to imbue the admiral with the look of a "confident and brilliant military man. Striking features and red eyes. The pose and body language should reflect that he is emotionally controlled."

Illustrated for the Star Wars miniatures: Imperial Entanglements packaging art.

I used the same mixed media approach, washes of acrylic in the background and oil built up on top for detail and glazed in for color modulation.

Dreadlocks I like, head tendrils... not so much. I don't know, I'm just not a huge fan, and the the Star Wars universe seems to be rampant with them.

Nevertheless, we have Mr. Fisto sporting his legendary smile and two lightsabers. I wanted to show him bare chested under water, but apparently the miniatures figure had this particular outfit, so we had to go this direction.

The art was commissioned for a packaging illustration for the Star Wars miniatures line entitled "Galaxy at War".

Medium: acrylic, oil and colored pencil with little bursts of airbrush here and there.

Size: 11x17"

ZAP!! That's all I'm say'n.

O.k. well, not quite. This is another character that was new to me. Here we have the powerful Sith lord oozing with force lightening. Don't stand too close.

You'll see this illustration on the "Jedi Academy" package for the Star Wars Miniatures line.

Mixed media: acrylic, oil colored pencil and wee bits of airbrush

This piece was done for a package illustration for the Star Wars miniatures line. I used acrylic from start to finish on this one with maaayyyyybe a little bit of colored pencil to carve out edges here and there. The size was about 17" high.

I wasn't familiar with Mr. Mandalore until asked to paint another illustration for the Star Wars minis packages.

Here's a little bit about what his life is about. "Madalore the Ultimate established his reputation as a brazen strategist who was capable of immense destruction. He led a merciless campaign in the Outer Rim Territories, authorizing the devastation of such planets as Cathar, and allowing his armies to sack the world of Althir. Even as the Republic began to respond to his aggressions, he continued to lead his Mandalorians with brutal efficiency. As the war escalated, Mandalore proved that he was willing to do anything to win his cause, even to the point of using nuclear devices to destroy entire cities."

I'm not sure if he uses "nuke-u-lar" devices or "nuclear" weapons... but either way he's a bad mo fo. : P

As for what mediums I used, I just stuck with acrylic and colored pencil on this one... I left the oil tucked away under my acrylic palette. Most likely it was dried out, and I was too lazy to squeeze out a new palette full.

This piece was done for a package illustration for the Star Wars miniatures line. I used acrylic for the loose underpainting washes and then used quite a bit more oil on top for this one... oil with generous amounts of painting medium to slide around a little more than I usually do. It was fun... I think I'll do it more often.
