I will continue to be saying this for a while longer: I am REALLY BUSY writing the next book, so the blog will continue to mostly be posts looking back at older work. Today I am sharing a Star Wars piece I painted in 2013/14 for a board game and it ended up making the roads. So, here we are again!
One of the main reasons this piece is being revisited is that one of the reference images popped up again on the socials. It reminded me of this one, and so here we are. More to the point, I shared this photo likely the day after it was taken, but with no context, I was not breaking any NDA.

Here are images of the piece taking shape with the thumbnails and the final drawing. This one was focused on the figure and blaster, so background and environments were not needed, and it let me make it all one big explosion.
This art has ended up on at least three cards. The first time, it was hilariously and severely cropped. Like, why even at that point? I was thrilled when it was released so that the art could finally be seen. It is likely out there elsewhere in books, cards, and stuff, but I may never track them down.
That's all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here on Wednesday! Until then...
