The first day of camp, and a First Order Snowtrooper lunch bag, inspired by the first images available to the public in Vanity Fair Magazine.
The Force Awakens a Stormtrooper: Thought up this one while we were flying back from Disney World, Florida. Once I committed to the dialogue there was no going back. It's almost right. There are always things I would do differently if I were to do it again.
It's always good to throw in a Boba Fett lunch bag from time to time.
You can tell when work is busy - I draw more head and shoulder shots.
JEDI had a lot of cool stuff, including the awesome Biker Scouts. I love that Biker Scout design! Way to go Nilo Rodis-Jamero!
I was down to my last brown bag and had to pull into service a white gift bag. Would have drawn some guides on the large trooper helmet to keep it all inline, but I was rushing to get 'er done quick so I could get back to my storyboard work. The kids don't care. They still thought it looked cool.
I got back to doing a couple more Silhouette bags. I did a few days of these the summer before and I thought they looked pretty neat so why not do a few more. It cut down on the amount of detail I needed to draw and looks pretty cool.
It may sound like the JAWA's say "Hooteenie!", but I found out later, there's no 'H'. Just, "Ooteenie!" Embarrassed I was, to not know that.
Just a silly little Darth Vader.
I think I did this Governor Tarkin lunch bag because I rarely ever, ever draw the human characters. Peter Cushing was so good as Tarkin. I drew him then came up with his thought balloon dialogue afterward.
A Deathstar. Thank you roll of blue tape for providing the circle.
Some of the days I only did the boys's names on their bags. These ones took a little longer to execute than other 'name' bags. Their Grandma kept these two for her wall.
X-WING as an 'E'
Y-WING as a 'Y'. Makes sense.
I always thought the Taun-Tauns sounded like Donald Duck. So, I finally put them together.
This DARTH VADER lunch bag smelled a great deal like Sharpie when it was done. I was never told if the sandwich and other items tasted like SHARPIE that day.
I guess I just wanted to draw a JAWA this day.
Sometimes, I have to resort to using Starbucks bags. JABBA seemed to like that logo... a lot.
Another Starbucks bag. Only did a name, but gave it some flair by adding a Deathstar to the top of Kyle's 'K'. He didn't feel as cheated this day.
I bought a bunch of brown craft bags at a local craft store. Different paper than the ones I had been using before. This paper wasn't as absorbent. It was shinier. But they worked well enough to do "Wicket the Ewok" posing with a Biker Scout helmet.
I hadn't ever done a protocol droid that wasn't shiny, golden C-3PO. So I looked up a couple of these guys on the Wookiepedia. I had no idea they had backstories. But they do. R-3PO is apparently moody.
Didn't get into any personality traits with K-3PO. Just a made a sandwich joke with him.
Kyle made this droid at Disneyland. I think he called him MEXI-D2. So for him, I put his Astromech droid on his lunch bag.
A quick ol' Yoda bag.
I don't know where this idea came from in my brain. I think I had done a little doodle in my sketchbook of this set-up of this cartoony Darth Vader in his cartoony Tie-Advanced Tie-Fighter. Then I felt like poking a little fun at The Phantom Menace. Who know's why?
When in doubt, do a Wookie lunch bag.
Last bag of the Summer. I think I started it, went to bed around 3, got up at 5am and completed it some time around 7am. The last bag is always a gift to the head counselor and always has a caricature of the counselors, the camp kids and my sons in some classic Star Wars setup. This year I chose the Falcon cockpit. My other son Wesley didn't want a Star Wars bag. He wanted his to look like a Kentucky Fried Chicken box, but instead of the Colonel, it was caricatures of him and his two counsellors.
