Imperial Youth Recruitment Poster
Copic marker and colored pencil with digital text
2015

This piece was done as a print for DragonCon 2015. After 10 hours' work, I completed this drawing only to discover that I'd used the wrong reference for the cadet (giving him the uniform of an Imperial combat driver, instead). Since the uniform is arguably the entire point of the illustration, I was forced to redraw the cadet (minus his head) on a separate sheet and Photoshop him into place for the final poster along with the graphics and text. And, it only took nine more hours to complete!

Update: After having failed to save a hi-resolution copy of the original version, I was forced to recreate the graphics in order to create a viable file for prints. Unfortunately, I didn't get it done in time for DragonCon 2015, so I'm exploring other print options. This is the updated image.

Update 2: Prints of this piece were made available at my booths at GenCon and DragonCon 2016. It is not currently available for online ordering, but if you would like one, please contact me at /everwho@comcast.net. The print is 11"x17".
