Dave Seeley Talks His Mindor Cover Art Posted By Mike on January 14, 2009
Tor.com has an interesting post where artist Dave Seeley breaks down the process and inspiration behind his cover art for Matthew Stover's, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. See the excerpt below and click here for the full article.
"For me, the coolest aspect of Luke was the fighter pilot thing, and so I picked the point in the story arc where he had just defeated the Emperor in Episode VI, and began to rid the universe of the Empire as the leader of ?Rogue Squadron,? which is covered only in novels and comics. I was inspired by a pic I had done for Wizards of the Coast?s minifigure series packaging, featuring a load of X-wings from the Episode IV Battle of Yavin. I wanted Luke on the battlefield with Rogue Squadron blowing by overhead...and that?s how ?Rogue Leader,? the limited print for Celebration IV was born. It was dumb luck that the pic was perfect for the book Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor."
