Chewbacca
Finally, I've been given the green light to post this special piece I've been working on. Titled 'Chewbacca- Hoth Encounter', this piece was commissioned by the Acme Animation Archives, who are the official licensees of all Lucasfilm artwork. It was recently launched at the 2007 New York Comic Con and Art Expo New York.
George Lucas had to approve the art every step of the way, so as you can imagine it was both an exciting and nerve-wrecking experience. It was a real buzz to hear that he loved the final result.
The piece was created in Cinema4D R10, Zbrush and Photoshop.
