10 years ago, long before Hasbro, Kotobukiya, or EFX made
merchandise based on Ralph McQuarrie’s preproduction conceptual art for
Star Wars, I made a series of ten 6 inch figures based on the visionary
artwork of Ralph McQuarrie. This
spring to celebrate his sites 10 year anniversary of my website I decided to
revisit my initial foray in 6” customs.
Prior to that I had worked exclusively in the 3 3/4 “ scale.
Before the film Star Wars was actually
filmed
an artist by the name of Ralph McQuarrie was hired to do pre-production
art and design much of the look of the Star Wars Universe.
Many of the characters have a much different look then the one that
eventually ended up on screen.
My
versions are not intended to be 100% accurate. I took some
stylistic liberties and combined certain different sketches into a new
design.
