Star Wars Portrait Series by Alice X. Zhang

Star Wars: The Last Jedi has been consistently on our minds since its recent release. It’s a spectacular reignition of so many core tenets of the Star Wars franchise, and has really fleshed out the new generation of characters. With that said, Bottleneck Gallery have  teamed up with Acme Archives and Lucasfilm to release four new Star Wars prints from Alice X. Zhang!

Alice’s newest prints feature four character portraits that blend the core of these characters from the Star Wars universe along with Alice’s exceptional digital painting abilities. From Rey’s fiery resolve to Luke’s stubborn wiseness to Kylo’s internal struggle to Leia’s light and hope, Alice has really captured the heart of these characters.

The Art of Star Wars : Thrawn

One of the most cunning and ruthless warrior in the history of the Galactic Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the most captivating characters in the Star Wars universe. From his introduction in the best-selling author Timothy Zahn’s classic Heir to the Empire through his continuing adventures in Dark Force Rising, The Last Command and beyond. Grand Admiral Thrawn has earned an iconic status among the greatest Star Wars villains. But Thrawn’s origins and the story of his rise in the Imperial ranks have remained mysterious. Now, in Star Wars: Thrawn, Timothy Zahn chronicles the fateful events that launched the blue-skinned, red.eyed master of military strategy and lethal warfare into the highest realms of power-and infamy.

But this isn’t a review of Timothy Zahn’s ambitious book, but the creative work that went on behind the scenes creating the iconic artwork of the book by Two Dots, a creative studio dedicated to the entertainment industry, and their client…LucasFilm.
