Curto's ForceCast Listener Inspired Sketch Cards Revealed

Posted by Jason on May 6, 2010 at 10:17 AM CST

Rebelscum.com's Dan Curto recently became and official sketch card artist for Topps' upcoming The Empire Strikes Back 30th Anniversary set. While appearing on the ForceCast's Clone Wars Roundtable, Dan put out a challenge to the listening audience.

Here is guest blogger Dan Curto with the latest on his progress...

A very special and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that sent in sketch card suggestions for my cards!

Some of the suggestions were for characters and/or scenes that I had already drawn or already had in mind, but I took my 10 favorite ideas and turned them into these sketch cards. All of the cards have been sent back, and Topps is currently inserting them into the packs for distribution.

As you can imagine, I'm very excited over all of this, and I am grateful to have the collecting community supporting me!

So, without further ado, here are the 10 cards that I illustrated, as well as who suggested them:

Boba Fett walking with Carbonite Han Solo
suggested by Brandon Straight, Brian Ulrich, & Mariano Santangelo

Han Solo & Princess Leia on Cloud City

All of winners have been contacted, and they each will receive a rare promo card for the set, just for helping me out.

Once again, thanks to everyone that took the time to write in (some with a long list of ideas!)...if I ever get an opportunity like this again, maybe I can do tis again.

May the Force be with you!

Hard for me to pick a favorite, but it's hard to get much cooler than that Yoda "There Is Another" card. WOW! Lando raiding Han's closet isn't bad either.

Great work, Dan. Congrats again! And thanks for letting our listeners play in your new, larger world.
