Star Wars: No LIfe Signs

Gouache on Strathmore 20 ply board. This is the my original art from the 2020 Star Wars Celebration Art show. Like many artists working today, I was heavily influenced by monster movies and Star Wars while growing up. One of the things I loved most about Star Wars was how elements of old monster movies were sometimes incorporated into the story. I was inspired to do the same for this image. The idea was to try and illustrate the menacing threat looming so close but the subject is totally unaware. Like Dracula or Frankenstein emerging from the shadows, a monstrous wampa emerges from the near white out of the snow and haze. Moments before catching Luke Skywalker unaware.
