Preliminary Character Sketches by Mike Vilardi. 1992.
Artist Mike Vilardi was kind enough to share his preliminary character sketches of Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, and the Noghri, in preparation for his Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook illustrations for West End Games.
“I did some sketches to help me develop Mara’s look, which I felt should reflect her strength while still allowing for vulnerability and a touch of weariness/inner conflict. It was an honor to have a hand in the development of her look, adding to her personality and "fleshing-her-out," so to speak. It’s truly awesome to be an adult and be able to play in a universe that held me spellbound as a kid.”
