As for Fett's first public unveiling, tradition holds that Boba was first revealed to audiences as an animated character in 1978's televised "Star Wars Holiday Special". However, digging through the records at Skywalker Ranch, a different story emerges -- Fett had in fact made a public appearance nearly two months before the Holiday Special on a scorching hot day in the streets of San Anselmo, a small town just north of San Francisco. Be sure to go and read the rest of this article which includes several early concepts of Boba Fett.

Poster 1

Please note that the D'Kullia drawing and the picture of Angelina Jolie go together, as well as the pictures of Halle Berry and Umi... The Egyptian/African Art inspired Velexa's look: I remember my mom and dad had this beautiful abstract carving of a man and woman that had rather elongated faces and bodies.

My characters' physical features are all based on real people or other comic book heroes, slightly tweaked. Umi is inspired by Halle Berry; D'Kullia by Angelina Jolie; Crovax was inspired by Thanos. Even some of the creatures in the adventure were inspired from other resources such as D&D or Magic. I try to be inspired or influenced by them and not copy them. I also try to use the imaginations and descriptions of my friends for their specific characters.

Although It’s not Star Wars art I wanted to share with you some of my Lord of the Rings Masterpieces Sketch Cards I finished recently for Topps. I am hoping that Topps comes out with a new Star Wars set soon, possibly a 30th Anniversary set so I can do sketches for that.

Anyways I was honored to get the chance to do sketch cards for Lord of the Rings. As you may have seen from my other work on this site or my own site I mostly do highly detailed pointillism drawings. Well I had do steer away from that a bit to do these cards as I only had 13 days to do 356 cards. I got very sick during this time but managed to get the cards done an hour before I had to ship them back to Topps. They later asked me to do an additional 100 cards. So my total for the project is 456. I had a blast doing them. The is suppose to come out October 25th.

I have since been asked to do sketch cards for Dr. Who and CSI. You can see the cards here: http://www.strictlyink.com/06si/sketchers_kevin.html

Shortly I will be doing The Wizard of Oz and another Poster Set for Breyagent who produces the Oz set. I will be doing special sketch cards for all these series. The cards I will be doing are very unique and I hope you get the chance to come across them. You can find out more info on my sketch cards and my art at: http://www.kevingrahamart.com

If you Join my Newsletter you have a chance to win a free sketch card which I give 1 away each week. I hope you enjoy the samples I have provided and thank you for your support.

This is fantastic news for Kevin. I know he worked himself to the bone to get all of these cards done and in on time. We can only hope that Topps will ask him to do cards for a future Star Wars set. Don't forget to see Kevin's Star Wars work but for now, here are some samples the cards Topps will be using. Enjoy!

"Arena Screama"

This is an old one; painted in the year 2000 according to it's date! Back in the days when I had a good quality tube of Yellow Ochre. That's a great color for doing the Geonosis landscapes. I should buy another good tube, liked the color very much.

1. Is the very start of the painting. I think it was a photo from an Episode II Toy Fair, though I can't be sure from this distance. At the time I thought it was just illustrating the uses of the figures, but now, I doubt a Mace figure would have been made with that expression on his face and it looks more like a mock-up to throw people off the scent as to what might be coming up. But then, I don't know anything about the toys.

Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Arena Screama" in the Painting by Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this image came about! Enjoy!
