OT: Thrawn image

By R22, in X-Wing

Stumbled upon this and I know people like Thrawn so I thought I'd pass it on.

from the author description:

Hi guys! This is a new set of 12 artworks I did for the new Star Wars Essential Reader's Companion. Although the dateline for this book was a lot tighter it nevertheless was an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

As with the last book I will be posting them in the order of sequence as it appears in the Reader's Companion. Enjoy!

This scene is found in a short story by Timothy Zahn called Mist Encounter and its one of my favorite fan pieces. Here Captain Voss Parck of the Victory Class Star Destroyer, Strikefast, and Colonel Barris meets Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn) for the first time. Following this event Thrawn joins the Empire and eventually becomes the Grand Admiral we all know and love, and also founder of the Empire of the Hand.

If you look closer you'll also notice that the clone troopers are wearing hybrid, transitional armor, a combination of phase II and the new stormtrooper armor.

Spiffy piece of work!

Nice!

Is Thrawn the dude on the left or right?

I'm kidding, Thrawn is clearly the guy on the right. The Empire would never allow an alien to reach such high ranks. ;)

Wow that pic really makes me look buff

Remember to check out Darren Tan's other art, he did a lot Star Wars related stuff, mostly for FFG. For example, the cover art for the Tantive IV and the Rebel Transport!

This is might be shameless self-promotion but I'm really glad that the 2 of the more popular cards make use of my artwork, namely Tarn Mison and Predator:)
