Clever Distraction - The Return of Fool Me Once

Last month I shared with you a newly released painting of mine for the Star Wars Imperial Assault Game, Fool Me Once. This painting was originally produced for a project that had been canceled, so it was in limbo waiting for the project. It found a home in the Ahsoka Tano Ally Pack, which is pretty cool. It also turned out, a month later, to have found a home in the newest expansion to the Star Wars LCG, Desperate Circumstances. This time around, it is called Clever Distraction, and you get to see a lot more of the art...

It is nice to see so much more of the art this time around. The original usage of this art would have presented even more of it, but since that project is now gone, it is nice to see as much as we do now. Seeing any more of the art is an improvement of its usage in the Ahsoka Tano Ally Pack. Imperial Assault sometimes does not have a lot of room for the art, so when that happens, it is nice to see the art resurface where it can spread its elbows a bit. Here is the artwork on the Fool Me Once card...

At the time this piece meant a lot to me and was going to be the realization of a life long dream, sadly the project was canceled. At least the art was eventually used, so it was not a total bust. Here again, is the final art that was used for Clever Distraction and Fool Me Once...
