From a distance, this barely even looks like a LEGO creation. A vast array of pieces and colors on such a large canvas also allowed for better resolution in the image. These draw the eye in new ways, almost tricking it into seeing aspects of the cloth, or the shadows in the bassinet, that aren’t really there. But Brent Waller’s use of a plethora of pieces allowed him to create sharper lines and textured surfaces. That’s my opinion as an artist, at least. While this technique is quite effective at rendering plenty of different images, the grid pattern is difficult to break and some sharp diagonal lines aren’t captured well. The mosaics in the LEGO Art sets make use of a pixel approach to create images of Darth Vader, the Hogwarts crest, or even Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe.
Can you spot them? I’m not giving any hints so good luck! But this portrait also has a secret: the Child and the Mandalorian are hidden within all that greebly goodness. Measuring 1 meter wide by 60 centimeters high, this massive mosaic features tons of different pieces and colors masterfully placed and blended to render a close-up image of Grogu in his floating bassinet. This absolute work of art was created as a gift for his son’s birthday and I have to say that this guy definitely deserves a Great Dad award. But I think builder Brent Waller invested a lot more thought into this textured mosaic of the Child from the Mandalorian. I’ve had friends order a few and they always turn out great. There’s even a Mosaic Maker which allows you to upload your own image and create a custom set. It seems like something new is starting in the "Star Wars Universe" every week and everything is very exciting.LEGO’s foray into the art world, with its various mosaic sets, has inspired fans to create their own fantastic art. Right now I'm starting to do stuff for the new Boba Fett and Andor shows. I'm very fortunate and blessed in what I do. To think I'd ever sell a painting to George, let alone a couple of hundred paintings to him over the years and doing thousands of illustrations, that was probably the most rewarding thing. That was a unique feather in my cap that I never saw happening as an artist from Toledo, Ohio. Lucas was interested in buying the original painting from me. At the end of the day I got a phone call telling me that Mr. So I did a lithograph for the California Science Center that was sold at the exhibit for a few months. It was comparing and contrasting real-world science to stuff George came up with in the '70s at his little place out in California. ROOD: For me it was one of the art pieces I did that George Lucas purchased many years ago for a touring exhibit called Where Science Meets Imagination. : Of all your artwork for Lucasfilm and "Star Wars" over the years, which project was the most satisfying? "Star Wars" illustrator Brian Rood's banner poster. This one is a little looser around the edges and more artsy. Boba Fett has a pretty solid tie-in with Tatooine over the years so I thought why not pay a little homage to that and keep it warm and juicy and add a hint of that sky in there with the twin suns. On the second piece, I was at first going to do a white background, then I thought it would be cool to throw a couple of suns on there. I wanted it to be fun and universally appealing. It keeps a little mystery there without stretching the boundaries too far and going off on my own tangent.
You know some stuff is going down but you're not quite sure exactly where the firefight is coming from or who he's blasting the flamethrower at.
We know it's a chase and the Falcon is way back there in the background coming after their boy and all the bounty hunters are also, so I thought it would be more intriguing by keeping the opposing forces off-panel. I've had a couple of very popular collector pieces based on the character from the Acme Archives fine art line and pieces I did for "Star Wars Celebration" in Germany a few years back with his helmet off.įor this comic book, we had to keep it kind of vague and not try to tell my own story not knowing what was depicted in the interior of the book. He's always been one of my all-time favorites. ROOD: Well, first off I love Boba Fett, because who else can have that kind of color combination of green and yellow and burgundy and red and make it look that cool. : What did you hope to achieve in each of these dynamic "Star Wars" covers? Boba Fett takes center stage in this cover B variant for "Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters #1." (Image credit: Marvel Comics)
