IF: Perspective - Lil' IG-88 takes a break

So this is the final piece.  It's called "Lil' IG-88 takes a break."  It's been about a year since I've done any of these - taking a character and drawing it from my perspective.

 

The nerdier ones of you will know who this is...and possibly what scene it's from...?  And you might even guess who's standing behind lil' IG-88.

As you can see in the original drawing (that I did in photoshop) I originally thought of having IG-88 on the upper step - where all the bounty hunters stand in the original thing...but then, as I thought about what to draw around him, I didn't want to recreate all the characters (because that's not what this drawing was about)...but give an indication as where they are...so I moved IG-88 lower and drew the legs of two of the more recognizable bounty hunters above him.

lil' IG-88 takes a rest - rough drawing

This is the original drawing for one of the illustrations I'm doing for a group show at Nickelodeon this week.  I've got a couple of other pieces, but I wanted to finish off with yet another image from my Heebeejeebees line of popular characters.  I've enjoyed trying to redraw these characters from my perspective.  From Star Wars I've already done Darth Vader and a Sand Person.

This is 'lil IG-88.  And if you don't know him, then shame on you.  He was in The Empire Strikes Back - there's a scene where Darth Vader is sending out a bunch of bounty hunters to find Han Solo...there was Boba Fett, a lizard guy (Bossk), and a guy with toilet paper wrapped around his head.  And standing out amongst them all was IG-88.

I'm half way done painting it (in photoshop) and will be posting that when it happens...
