Featured Artist
Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers 19 |
Featured Artist Craig Burt has provided us
with a breakdown of one of his paintings that provides us with a look into how
the picture came about. Here is some of the article created by Craig:
"Jedi Jitters"
This is another old one from the early days of production of
Episode II when I didn't have allot of visual information to work with. It's a
speculative rendition of the action on Geonosis.
1. We have the idea for
the painting. It's a bit too 'widescreen' for the paper dimensions, so some
maneuvering of the elements was needed to make things work better. If I remember
I couldn't find any photo references even close to the poses for the Jedi that I
wanted, so I needed to change them.
Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Jedi
Jitters" in the Painting by
Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this
image came about! Enjoy! |

Star Wars Special
Edition - 10th Anniversary |
Well, it is hart to believe that 10 years ago today I had been waiting in
line to be the first to see the new Special Edition of A New Hope! It was a time
when fans were excited again to be getting new Star Wars figures, and a movie
that included new CG effects and characters. We got to see the old Jabba scene
included back in the film with the Jabba we know versus the human stand in that
had only been on behind the scenes shows. New shots of the attack on the Death
Star provided cool new angles and shots of X-Wings dog fighting with TIE
fighters. We were introduced to the Ronto, and to the new and improved Dewback.
Ahhh... the memories! |

Star Wars:
Allegiance Q & A |
The Official Star
Wars Site has provided a Q & A session with author Timothy Zahn as he
returns to the Star Wars galaxy with Star Wars: Allegiance.
In
Star Wars: Allegiance, which takes place during the time between Episodes
IV and V, Luke Skywalker is still new to all this Jedi business. Han Solo isn't
sure how much he's willing to commit to the Rebel Alliance. Princess Leia is
trying to help run the Rebellion and wondering why Han is so infuriating. The
young Mara Jade is one of the most valued agents of the evil Emperor. And a team
of stormtroopers goes rogue, deciding to mete out justice their own way...
Be sure to see all the questions and answers and read an excerpt, but remember that
Star Wars: Allegiance was released today, so be sure to get your copy of
what is sure to be a great book! |
