#RogueOne design for the 'transmitter tower' set piece- Production Design by Doug Chiang- in this earlier version you can see that there are two landing pads on the right and then a structure in the rear that was where a big elevator car could come up- #StarWars #concept

#TheMandalorian 'Gauntlet' v my favorite type of TIE fighter- @rec_thang_le worked on the original Clone Wars design of this very cool Mandalorian ship design- both these ships look great and are distinct from every angle, makes the illustration/composition job so much fun-

Awesome to get the opportunity to revisit this place, for this artwork I got to build this as a 3d model, more detailed and realized than the one we see in Revenge of the Sith… #StarWars

Yikes!- 19 years- my first time working for Lucas/Chiang on the preproduction team... Here's my approved sketch of the 'proto-walker'- something more human scale that would still allow the AT-ATs to look as formidable as always all those years later...
