flipping through jeremy bastian's comic "cursed pirate girl" makes me want to be a better artist and storyteller.
doodled this up and colored it. :)
****
a completed returned sketch card for clone wars widevision (already bought, paid for and mailed a while ago. i just forgot to post it)
and here are my 2 returns for star wars galaxy 5 (the set that just came out). i haven't decided what i am doing with them yet... so don't ask. if they're up for sale or ebay, you'll know later this week.

i did 2 base cards!
yeah!
i already showed the artwork for my wampa room card (as it appeared in star wars insider magazine!)
it has this quote on the back as to why i chose to do this scene:
"I'm a huge fan of the creatures of Star Wars and the Wampa is right at the top of my list of favorite SW critters. In a deleted scene from Empire, Han wants to take a shortcut through a room in Empire and Leia tells him 'that's where they keep those creatures'. C-3P0 does something totally out of character and takes the warning sign down, hoping to trick the troopers into going in there. I've ALWAYS wanted to see the scene where the stormtroopers are being attacked by the wampas trapped in this room. I imagine it to be a furry, frantic battle where, of course, the wampas win."
and now my OTHER base card... my cantina scene! yaay!
and it has the following quote on the back:
"What's more fun than the most wretched hive of scum and villainy on Tatooine? This place is full of characters that have some really elaborate background stories courtesy of the extended universe, every creature in there is worthy of a deeper look. Wuher, the bartender himself, has a tragic story and big dreams to leave Tatooine one day. He's described as a genius when it comes to mixology and is using that skill to win fame and fortune from Jabba the Hutt. Plus, who wouldn't want that gruff face to serve them a tall glass of blue milk or a Sarlacc Kicker?"
i loved drawing these. i hope you enjoy lookin' at 'em!
also, i'm almost done with my fraggle rock story! i'm so excited! i've been having SO MUCH FUN drawing it!!

so grant hipped me to the fact that one of my base cards for the new TOPPS star wars galaxy 5 trading card set is printed on page 71 ofthe new star wars insider magazine!
so i'm going to assume it's safe for me to post the art for it :P (i did TWO base cards for this set. i'll share the other one later.
first, a rare look into my EARLY process... the thumbnail i sent to topps with my idea for the card!
rar!
and now... the card!
the other side is printed with a blurb about why i chose this scene... yadda yadda yadda...
"I'm a huge fan of the creatures of Star Wars and the Wampa is right at the top of my list of favorite SW critters. In a deleted scene from Empire, Han wants to take a shortcut through a room in Empire and Leia tells him 'that's where they keep those creatures'. C-3P0 does something totally out of character and takes the warning sign down, hoping to trick the troopers into going in there.

I've put my returned card for the TOPPS star wars clone wars widevision up on ebay!

...and... it's blank! the winner of the auction will get the card drawn CUSTOM just for them :) i thought i'd try something different this time and let the collector pick what i draw this time around.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110458175128#ht_524wt_1167
please take a look at the auction and, collectors, if you aren't trying to horde the auction for yourself and wouldn't mind helping a gal out... spread the word!

there's a new set of TOPPS Star Wars trading cards on the horizon and, like usual, i'm on board for some sketch cards.

these cards are different, as they are a weird, "wide screen format" size... i think they'll be fun :)
i'm only doing 25 of them. that's it. 25.
each one of these 25 cards will be a full color scene card. no head shots, no repeats... just good ol' nerdy fun. TOPPS liked how rare and super cute my Galaxy 4 cards were, so we're going to make my cards a fun, rare chase card :)
i'm also getting 2 return cards, but please, do not e-mail me about them. i will be selling them via e-bay. with only 2 cards, i don't want to make promises to only 2 collectors and leave out everyone else.
i have no idea when the spiderman set i just wrapped up is going to come out, but a few of my 50 cards for that are *priceless*. i can't wait to post them.
