I love how they look absolutely nothing like Luke and Leia.
It's like they'd already picked all the props out before they started casting, and just told this guy to just get on and paint something.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Luke looks a bit like Mark Zuckerberg here IMO. It's a bit creepy.
He reminds me more of all those Roger Corman Sword and Sorcery movies from the 80s, like Deathstalker.
The kind of actor who is rugged, generically handsome, but completely unknown and has never done any real acting in his life before and probably never will again.
Yeah ,definitely see that style too. Guys like Miles (and miles) O'Keeffe.
Yo they also did the painting for Ultima Online, probably their most famous work by far
Every time I see this image, I have the same question: what's going on with C3P0’s crotch
Hanging DONG. Designated Orifice Neuro Gig.
Fuck anyone do better?
He's got a lot of carbon scoring there. Looks like he's seen a lot of action.
I have that book, …somewhere.
Thanks for posting this
Those two in white have such similar facial features that they could almost be siblings.
Looking at it again its funny that han, chewbaca, and the millenium falcon are not in it given their relative popularity in the ip.
They did it in a style of adventure novels or comics popular before the movies came out. It's totally fucking awesome.
I mean they gotta keep it simple, no other guy, no weird aliens, just some robots and a hero with his bad-ass lady.
What I'm curious about is they didn't make the hero's laser sword light glint line up directly with Vader's "eyes" in the background. They could have, and it arguably would be an even better image. But they didn't, why?
I didn't know they made that piece. They were incredibly prolific artists with some amazing work for Marvel and Magic the Gathering
I still have my poster after seeing the first movie opening week. It worked for that movie since it was a new step for fantasy scifi. Once the characters became known and the franchise took off, realistic artwork made more sense.
Didn't know about him almost being involved with the animated Lord of the Rings. That would have been a totally different direction than the rotoscoping. Maybe better? Who knows.
Also, gone too young. Still had potential work to create. Not cancer this time, something we ought to have a better handle on, diabetes.
Diabetes (Type I) is a bitch, because diet can only manage it somewhat. And there's 2 subtypes there, with all sorts of biochem happening. Plus hormones are a crazy interwoven system.
Type II now, yes, there's near-zero reason to not have control of it, as it's nearly all diet induced. And something like 90%+ of all diabetes in the US is Type II today. I knew no one as a kid who had diabetes (though it later appeared in my family).
