LEGO Star Wars: Clone Wars Troopers Ad

This is a full page ad I made for the Euro LEGO Club Magazine back in November 2008. I still haven't seen this in print :( I had a total blast making this piece! It was fun to focus on just one image instead of a bunch of panels so I was able to dedicate more time to making it look good. The colors were tinted to make it look more like the animated TV show.

*Image removed by me. Gotta keep the LEGO images down to 3 at a time per LEGO's request.

LEGO Star Wars: Clone Wars Comic #3

Hi! I finally received the latest issue of LEGO Club Magazine, which featured episode 3 of the ongoing Clone Wars comic. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the clean art from that episode. The writer told me that the online clone trooper cartoons start to tie in with the magazine comic around episode 11 ... just watched episodes 11 and 12. Check them out!!!

I finished the art for episode 4 a couple of days ago and that was fun. Can't wait to see what happens next!

LEGO Space Police are coming!!!

LEGO just uploaded a teaser site for their new space line, Space Police! Not a lot there yet but you can check out a cool stop motion teaser movie that will have you wanting more...

LEGO Space Police site...

Special thanks to Boris for the heads up! Check out his awesome blog here...

~Boris's Bricks~I grabbed this picture of the new box art from here... Brickshelf

I have known about the Space Police for a while because I created the artwork for the box backgrounds :) The pictures from Brickshelf are the newer boxes that have my art. If you see any images from the 2009 toy fair show then that is the old CG art. The old art was very similar in composition so they are a bit hard to distinguish in these small photos. I'll post better photos when I can find some. These were created using a digital painting technique instead of my normal comic style. You can see more samples on my portfolio web page

More portfolio samples at the Mecha Zone

Hope you like them!
